Terminator Infinity fan script (2017) Genre: Scifi, Action, Thriller. Total Runtime 2h 36min (Rated R for strong violence and gore, strong language, nudity and body horror)

PREMISE: John and Sarah Connor, with the help of T-800 managed to prevent Judgment Day and destroy Skynet, but unknowingly they created another horrifying future. Two time travelers arrive from 2029 to the year 1959. One is scientist Blythe Dyson, daughter of Miles Dyson, carrying with her technology that can save the future. Other is a new, highly advanced, unstoppable cyborg T-INFINITY, sent to hunt down Blythe. But that's only the tip of the iceburg, get ready for high-octane action ride and earth-shaking revelations. There's no fate but what we make for ourselves.

MAKING OF: I finally cracked it, the perfect sequel to T2 and it only took three years xD. This would retcon T3, Salvation and that god-awful Genisys. The problem with these sequels is that they missed entirely the point of T2, that Skynet is dead, that was the whole point of T2, they killed Skynet completely and entirely. So, let's please move on. Originally this movie was three movies long, plot was entirely bonkers, and I had problems to solve the time travel logic of it. I was a long time in the so called ”writer's block”, it was solved when I watched Movie Bob in Youtube and how to fix the terminator franchise, and he talked about Blythe Dyson, I was like, who the hell is Blythe Dyson. She was the girl in the special edition for three seconds and then mentioned in the theatrical cut of T2, blink and you miss her. I was like holy shit, she's the main character! Now 50% of my story works.

Yes, I realized that John Connor doesn't work as a main character anymore, but he can be in minor role, a background character, because his story arc is completed. Then we have to put fresh paint for everything James Cameron style, we reverse everything, I mean everything, we reverse the plot, we reverse the characters, we reverse themes, we reverse villains, we reverse destiny, we reverse technology. We create new heroes, new villains, new environment, new action. T-Infinity was always the main enemy, the most powerful terminator ever made from the comic book. It doesn't exactly look the same, I had to redesign it to fit in Dwayne Johnson's body and give him new powers. Themes are hate, fate, reconciliation and infinite cycle of violence, and T-Infinity is the embodiment of this infinite cycle of violence. And when you have T-I, you also need Dire Wolf, yes, terminator dog. These terminators need their first screen appearance badly.

Last obstacle was how to tell this story. I couldn't tell it in typical linear style, you wouldn't get action until the 40 minute mark, so how to get the pacing, so you get story and action equally short amounts, to keep the pacing fast and pressure up all the way to the end. Answer was nonlinear narrative that Christopher Nolan is fond of. We have see in all terminator movies, except in salvation, the beginning of the time loop, never the end, the result of the loop, now we would see beginning and end of the loop. The story moves on two tracks, different times and catch up middle of the story, but ending would be like Back To The Future 2 xD. Where Marty goes back to the first movie, but this we will return middle of the story. It's mind blowing, something I've never seen before. To sum up, we will have the horror of the first movie, action of the second movie, diamond hard cast and mind bending time travel with nonlinear storytelling.
