"T3" SET REPORT PART 2: DETAILED FILES!
Reported By: Randy Jennings
Wednesday, May 15, 2002

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!
