"T3" SET REPORT PART 2: DETAILED FILES!

I'm back for more juicy Terminator information to share with all my
Schwarzenegger-loving friends. Being on the set of WB's T3: Rise of the
Machines yesterday, I have gathered together many inside stories and
miscellaneous facts. Some of these are so minuet that the everyday
journalist would never bother to report on such "insignificant" facts but
considering we are the biggest Arnold fans on the earth, I think everyone
here should take interest.
T3 FACTS:
The Cemetery
The Cemetery scene takes place roughly 45 minutes into the film. It is a
daylight scene but the majority of the film's action are night shoots.
Sarah Connor's coffin is silver with fancy trim work. Her name is on top.
When the T-800 carries it out, the SWAT officers shoot up the side with
bullet holes.
The Terminator's ride, A badly damaged Animal vet truck was parked in
front on Sarah's crypt. The shell on the truck reads: "Emery Animal
Hospital".
The Terminator's face has medium battle damage with bright silver
endoskeleton exposure and blood running down the left side. His stomach has
one big bullet hole.
Shooting Schedule:
As of Tuesday, May 14th, Arnold had only been involved in about 6 days of
shooting throughout the 5 weeks of shooting. He is now expected to be
heavily attached to the rest.
The entire shooting schedule will be close to 100 days not including the
2nd production shoot. Expect 1st unit production to finish late September or
October.
There were 2-3 days of re-shoots to make up for the cast change of Kate -
now played by Claire Danes.
The Script:
A slight indication of an R rating: Like all Terminators, Kristanna Loken
WILL arrive naked. This scene has not yet been shot.
T3 does not "heavily" go into future battles however if "T4" will be made
it is said to be "Apocalypse Central" according to Set Designer Jeff Mann.
Script still remains in secrecy. More than half of the tight-working crew
has still not read it.
There have been minor script changes along the way.
Without getting into specifics, it is a "VERY FUNNY SCENE" when Arnold
gets his nearly-identical leather clothing. So it's quite possible Arnold
tracks down the same unfortunate biker victim OR he wears very dorky clothes
that John makes the T-800 suit into something more fitting.
Miscellaneous facts:
Signs for "T3" cast and crew parking is referred to only as: RJ95
WB is still uncertain weather King Conan, TL2 or West
World will be next for Arnold although one big source reveals Arnold is
still confident TL2 may be next before returning to WB.

Thanks to Arnold fan DaOak, we get the only set image taken from
across the street on Tuesday the 14th. Here you can see the crane that hoist
the coffin for support over the Terminator's shoulder.
Many more reports to come Arnold fans! many, many more including interviews
with Arnold, Mostow and Stan Winston!
