I know everyone is excited about Terminator Salvation, but let's not hastily disregard all the other upcoming films with the word "Terminator" in their titles. Asylum Entertainment's The Terminators, for instance. Their Terminator content is pluralized, so you do the math. Here's the trailer:

I love that it looks like they've decided to go with something along the lines of the evil, muscular, skin-covered future-android-in-modern-times plot of the original Terminator. Like they worried it wouldn't make sense to jump straight to a rip-off of Salvation. "That's the fourth film in the series! There has to be an entire rip-off timeline! We have to do Terminators, Terminators 2: Decision Day, and T3: Ascent of the Gadgets first or no one is going to know why they should care about the Josh Cocker character!"

Also, how are they not being sued for this? Transmorphers and Pirates of Treasure Island I can understand narrowly escaping litigation, but Terminators is literally just adding an "s". If it's that easy, why is there no Individual Star War?
