Description

After three years of hard work, it's ready, sequel to T2, yes, you heard it right, T2.

This will retcon T3, Salvation and Genisys, the main problem with these sequels is that they missed the whole point of T2, and that is Skynet is dead, it's DEAD, it hasn't been postponed, it's not on a different timeline, it's gone, dead and buried, let's move on. We have a time machine and world of unlimited possibilities to take the story. Terminator Infinity would be breath of fresh air that the franchise desperately needs, new heroes, new enemy, new destiny. It has the horror of the first movie and action of the second movie, Christopher Nolan's nonlinear storytelling meets James Cameron's terminator. We need to move away from the judgment day, hydraulic machines and nuclear energy to new technology and ideas of modern times, like singularity, transhumanism and quantum mechanics.

Terminator Infinity opens infinite possibilities, the title is so meta you can't believe xD. After this story humans and machines can go any time period, anywhere in the world and aren't chained down by Connors, California and between 80's and present day. And just because Skynet is gone, it doesn't mean it doesn't affect time, of course it does, we will see it in the technology, how it affects John Connor and other people negatively.

I've always wanted to see T-Infinity, the most powerful terminator ever made, and Dire Wolf on the big screen, but those screenwriters won't read comics! I think the terminator villains should mirror our present world. T1 and T2 clearly were affected by Cold War and nuclear annihilation, but there's no cold war anymore. But what we have plenty are terrorists and rogue states. That in mind, themes are hate, fate, infinite cycle of violence, which makes T-I the embodiment of it, but in the core is a beautiful story of reconciliation.

Here's the spoiler free fan cast. Let's start from the top.

T-Infinity, played by Dwayne Johnson (Baywatch, Jumanji 2: Welcome to the Jungle). The most powerful terminator ever created, T-9001, uses electric based weapons, able to quantum teleport, create force fields, time travel any place, any time, and summon other terminators. I had to redesign T-I so it would fit inside Dwayne Johnson's body, oh boy, he'll be scary as fuck in this. Only defence against him is to run away. He has only one objective: Kill Blythe Dyson.

Blythe Dyson, played by Meagan Good (Minority Report, Babylon Fields). The new action heroine. You may think, who the fuck is Blythe Dyson? xD. Actually, she is in T2, you see her about 5 seconds in the special edition and in the theatrical cut she is mentioned, so she is canon. Blythe Dyson is the daughter of Miles Bennet Dyson, her father died when Cyberdyne HQ blew up.Β In the year 2029, she has become the world's leading robot designer, head of Cyberdyne's advanced projects division. She in pro-machines, while senator Connor is anti-machines. They are constantly arguing with each other about the matter. Their argument grows into epic proportions in the future, that it threatens to destroy the entire world. Blythe and John must reconcile before it's too late.

John Connor, played by Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, London Has Fallen). In the year 2029, John has become United States senator, like he did in T2's good ending. Even when Skynet is gone, John is still tormented by nightmares of the future war, letting fear control his life and ruin his relationships. Fear of the unknown future drives John to create Project Fate, its purpose is to take control of mankind's fate. When Blythe discovers what John has build, she is horrified, pleading John to destroy the thing he's build, because it's too much power for one man. But warnings go to deaf ears.

Gordon T. Goddard, played by Stephen Lang (Don't Breath, Avatar). His younger version would be played by Wes Bentley (Interstellar, Hunger Games). Younger Goddard is the lead engineer in John's Project Fate. Older Goddard is a sheriff, working in Alabama, in the year 1959. You may be asking, who the fuck is Gordon Thadeus Goddard? xD. Well, actually he is mentioned in Universal's T2 ride, in the Cyberdyne advertisements, so he is canon x).

Desmond Silberman, played by Dan Stevens (Legion, The Guest). Desmond is the one with glasses, he is a war veteran and hermit, living in the woods of Alabama in 1959. He is basically us in the story, audience's character, and big eastern egg, if you look at his surname and find it oddly familiar, it is because it is xD. Desmond Silberman is the big brother of Peter Silberman. Unhinged Desmond is the sole reason why Peter became a psychologist.

Debuty Sheriff Charlie, played by Woody Harrelson (War of the Planet of the Apes, Zombieland). Working in Dadeville's sheriff's department, Alabama, 1959. He's next of the hot rod. He's there for comedic relief, like the cop played by Lance Henriksen in T1. Every movie is little bit better with Woody Harrelson, gives it a little nudge x).

Dire Wolf, and yes, the huge terminator dog in the middle is the horrifying Dire Wolf, making its first big screen appearance with T-I.

Now that would have been the 'REAL' sequel to T2 instead of 'Dork Fate'!

Thanks! Β 

Yeah, the Dark Fate was a disappointing sequel, I mean, how many times you
have to remake T2, and why does Hollywood has a hard-on for killing main
characters between movies?! Don't they get that killing John Connor makes
T1 and T2 pointless! Jeez!

Terminator: Infinity actually continues the plot of T2. There's no fate but what we
make for ourselves. T-I is a new kind of Terminator and more menacing. And yeah,
I also kill John Connor, but least I have the common sense to bring him back at the end.

You're welcome! And frankly, I regret watching Dork Fate in the first place!

Looking at this, this is the Terminator story that we've all been waiting for.Β 

What you talk about touches on the nature of author authority. If you look at the Odyssee, Homer didn't write it. He just wrote it down. Before him, it had been told orally by hundreds of story tellers all over Greece. King Arthur was updated hundreds of times through history right up to the twentieth century and that's a big part of what helped keep the legend fresh; he grew beyond a post-Roman warlord into many different things.Β 

Likewise, this. . . oh I just salivate by this. I think this is one of your best covers yet. This just, there's so much going on but it's all perfectly balanced; like Da Vinci's last supper. This is the last supper of violence.Β 

I'm going to enjoy this script of yours.Β

I like that, last supper of violence. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm shuffling the card pack violently in this one. We just reverse and update everything.
Give new meanings to "There's no FATE but what we make for ourselves" and "Value of human
life" and expand on the "I know now why you cry, it's something I can never do." And fill
with things you may have missed in T1 and T2. And we see the beginning and ending of the loop.

But if you want Arnie back and brainless action, it's something I can never do xD.
