"Why should WB want to do this?
- this is probably the best they could do with the right they have: even if they weren't payed for this (but they will), they will earn a lot of money;
- if the movie increases curiosity about the show, TSCC will be syndicated again, all around the world = money for WB!
- New DVD sales for S1 and S2 = money for WB!
- Since they own the rights about their original characters, they'll get a lot of money from the merchandise of T5 objects (action figures, T-shirts, etc). Again, money for WB!
- They could eventually co-produce T6 (and maybe T7, if the story is too long) as a pure TSCC continuation. A LOT OF money for WB!

"1. Hmm, I think that this is highly improbable. If there is going to be a Terminator movie, it'll probably be a straight sequel to T4 or a complete reboot of some kind. It just seems extremely unlikely that they would go back to the interim between T3 & 4. It could be messy and the franchise is already complicated enough.

2. As for introducing T:SCC characters into T-Moviedom, I really can't see that happening TBH. They may attempt to take elements from T:SCC, re-write them and integrate them into T5, even bringing over character types and cameo references.

3. But, we'll probably never see the actual T:SCC-verse characters or actors involved in a big screen continuation.

4. I can easily see them taking ideas like a rival AI to Skynet or a group of rebel machines and assimilating them into T5 - or hell, even a machine-love-interest for John ala Jameron. But it just won't be something designed to appease fans of T:SCC.

5. I think - although I could always be wrong - that "the powers that be" will probably attempt to draw a line under T:SCC and maybe T4 and continue afresh."

"1. Also, T4 is after T1, not after T3, and this is another good reason to ignore that mess up...

2. WB will never allow to simply "take elements", otherwise the small amount of the franchise they own will be worth less than nothing: they'll use it as part of TSCC or will not allow Ellison to use it. I figure this already happened when they removed TSCC references from T4.

3. Why not? ... Anyway, I've never talked about "continuation", we know it's impossible, I'm thinking about a prequel (something that is for all).

""Yes, that was exactly my idea: one (or more) direct-to-DVD (or online selling) movie(s) made only for us, with a low budget but original writers and cast (I always think that JF moved all to the post-JD future at the end of BTR to cut costs by mainly filming S3 in a cheaper place)."

ok you should forget about this happening , I wish they would do it, but I have the feeling tscc has been "buried" for reasons that they will never tell us. one reason is they dont want 2 versions of terminator story. they just want the mainstream big budget movies. so when they are done with those maybe then they would let someone do a tscc movie. only thing is then all the actors
will be so much older.

2. and jf and S-3, on part of the show would have dealt with the future scenes and story, there still would have been a present day story, as sarah and ellison were still here in the present. it would have been partly both.
and I dont know that future scenes would have been any cheaper to do, quite possibly the opposite and more $ for future scenes.
also jf unless he was broke , doesn't want anything to do with tscc, and the powers that be may not want anything to do with him, so unlikely he would be involved if it were to happen.
t-5 will be a mainstream movie set in present with chase stuff / story, and a typical terminator movie like t-2.
the fact they signed arnold says they want to do that type of movie. also the fact they signed arnold suggests it wont be a reboot.
I think they will ignore t-4 and possibly T-3 and do a story based on continuing from T-2.
however if they do that it could confuse some people."

"Now I know there is a basis for the two items above, but I can't find the sources, but I think enough people know about it so it won't be dismissed out of hand.

What this means for the future of Terminator, and more importantly for TSCC, is that our beloved show is now the bastard child of the franchise. Now personally, I believe there is room for multiple timelines. TSCC could continue in book, graphic novel, dvd movies, etc and feature films could continue in their own timeline without either crossing paths. Every film has launched a series of novels, each setting a precedence for a new timeline without problems for the fans seeing the next film. so there should be no problem for TSCC occupying its own niche amongst the fans and in the franchise. Only through ignorance and arrogance on the part of those involved in the franchise up to now is there no link between TSCC and the feature films other than T1 and T2 from which both branch off. At this stage there is still a chance for both to coexist or both be part of the same story if someone with balls and imagination stands up and fights for TSCC and gives us a story that either links the latter films to TSCC, or gives us a feature film continuing on from TSCC that makes T3 and T4 look like the rubbish they were."

"I can't find anything that says they were gonna have Allison in T4 in any version of it, or even have a tie in with tscc at all. I've been looking for about an hour. I found a thread on the redwiki, but it's all just talk, there is no links for anything. Seems like someone was just speculating.

This is just my opinion, but as for tscc coming back, I just don't see it.

1. The movie has no script and honestly, it has nothing yet. So it will take years for this movie to be made and released, and by that time, they're not gonna care about tscc anyway.

2. The actors are going to get too old to play their characters and without the original cast, it's not a movie I would watch anyway.
