STAN WINSTON CREATES A MONSTER ROBOT! Sci-Fi.com Interviews Stan The Man! Reported By: SciFi.com Monday, August 12, 2002 Stan Winston the visual-effects guru who is creating cyborgs for the upcoming sequel film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines told SCI FI Wire that he's designing a precursor robot and an advanced one. Terminator 3, we're shooting, Winston said in an interview last week at Comic-Con International in San Diego. I just got off the set at midnight last night. [We were] shooting a scene with the T1's, which are robots that are precursors to the Arnold [Schwarzenegger T-800] robot. We've also created a female called the TX, the Terminatrix, who is about as bad as you can get. You don't want to come up against her. Winston declined to detail the abilities of the newest terminator, except to say I can tell you that you just don't want to come up against her. She will kick your butt. And we had a great time designing her and creating her. And the fact of the matter is there is nothing like the wrath of a female, even if it's a robot. So this is the one. She is bad. She is real bad. As for technology, Winston said there¹s a vast difference between
the upcoming sequel and the previous two Terminator films. Terminator
1, with the use of puppetry and stop-motion animation, we pretended
that we had created a robot, Winston said. Over the years we have been
advancing our robotic and animatronic technology. [In] Jurassic Park
we were creating robotic dinosaurs. So our robotic technology and engineering
at Stan Winston Studio is beyond any robotic technology literally in
the world. We have advanced beyond aerospace. I have guys that come
from aerospace, working for me. Absolutely. We have more points of articulation
than any existing robots in our robots. And we have a robot that is
a precursor to Arnold, which is called the T1, which is the real deal.
We pretended we built robots in the first Terminator. [In] Terminator
3, we built robots. T3 is slated for release in 2003.
