Apr 15 2009New 'Terminators' Trailer! Yes, with an 'S'
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?

I like the part where the robots look like emaciated cylons.

This looks like a made-for-TV movie. Kim Jong Il was the Executive Producer...

For a cheapo film it looks ok.
I'd watch this.

Don't forget to see Transmorphers 2 -- which I auditioned for. I'm not sure if that means I'm a terrible actor or if I'm just too good for Asylum's films...

@4 = major fail. major.

I watched most of the transmorphers recently and this looks light years ahead of that.
But you do have a point

Do people actually still watch B-movies anymore?
...well, I guess if you're unemployed. What else are you gonna do?...

They always show the best parts in trailers.Luckily there are plenty of trailers!

Id hate to be friends with some supporting actor from this movie, which would mean going to the 'premiere' at some rented theatre and having to pretend 'wow man that was awesome' afterwards..

What exactly are they ripping off? I can't decide if it's Blade Runner, Terminator, or Battlestar Galactica. Oh, wait a minute, they're ripping off all three. Ahhh, I get it now. That's why we have skin-wearing cylons returning to earth who need to be stopped, presumably by a down-and-out copy played by judd nelson, who may or may not be a cylomater, himself. Cool concept. If only there were a dog.

The Asylum makes the worst movies known to mankind. They're leeches.

"Do people actually still watch B-movies anymore?"
How do you call "Fast & Furious 4" exactly - and 80% of the Hollywood average production ?
B is the name of the game during crisis time for most of US producers. Call it "B with a wasted pile of money" if you want.
Asylum is more Z than B. And more Zedder than Z.
