Nothing stops the train known as the Terminator franchise and there is no point in finding some sort of serious comfort in Linda Hamiltons arms anymore. Hell everyone even forgot about that the telivision series brought back life to the dying horse. Well. Anyway. Wired decided to go around and interview different people about where they would take the franchise and turns out Damon Lindelof would like to take Termintor to a place with robot horses having babies and Dylan being a son of a bitch. Hit the jump to read his quote from the article.
The whole “dark depressing futuristic apocalypse” thing is played out. Enough with the machines driving over human skulls. We need us some COMEDY. Look at those numbers for Bridesmaids and Hangover 2. Can you imagine the box office if those movies had HOMICIDAL ROBOTS in them?!? And since we’re evoking Arnold’s work already (evoking is free, by the way—suck it, lawyers), why not combine Terminator with Schwarzenegger’s greatest comedic work?
Yeah. That’s right. Kindergarten frigging Cop.
Buckle up. Here comes the gold.
Humans in dystopian future learn that a Terminator traveled back in time and impregnated a woman, resulting in a half-cybernetic child that will grow up to be humankind’s DESTROYER! But due to technological ineptitude, we can’t lock down the mother’s identity (and thus the kid’s), narrowing their whereabouts to a school in a pleasant coastal town.
And so our story begins as a gruff, futuristic badass with great comedic chops (we’re screwed if the Rock says no) representing the hopes of all humanity travels back to 2012 to identify the half-Terminator 5-year-old by substituting as a kindergarten teacher. And then, after a series of comedic misunderstandings? Kill the little bastard.
Pretty sure we can get a PG-13 as long as no one smokes and when the kid gets shot in the face we do it in a classy way. [Wired via GammaSquad]
I want to go to there. That is all I have to say about what can be done with the our future and our fight for it.
