NO BULLIT-TIME ACTION FOR THE TERMINATOR! Mostow prefers "the old fashion way"! Reported By: René de Jong Tuesday, August 27, 2002 In last month's Cinescape Sequel Mania SE Magazine, Mostow discusses the heavy task to give the audience what they're expecting, the admiration he has for James Cameron and some special effects he WON'T be using. Cinescape: Though all involved are very tightlipped about the nature of the plot, it's revealed that advances in technology have made it easier for creature builder Stan Winston to actually use modern technology to create the kinds of mobile robots only fantasized about when he did the effects on the original Terminator in 1984. Coupled with the advances computer technology has made over the years (starting with the state-of-art morphing effects made famous by T2) - the sky is the limit for what a Terminator film can be, but Mostow is quick to point out you won't be seeing any "bullit-time" Matrix-esque fighting in the film from Arnold. His character remains true to his straight-forward action assault approach. "T2 was the beginning of digital special effects and whenever there was a big effect, the movie literally stopped so the audience could go 'oooh' and 'Ahhh' as the effect happened," concludes Mostow. "Nowadays that stuff is a dime a dozen. I think audiences frankly are burnt out on people running up on a ceiling and doing triple somersaults. We've seen all that stuff and I'm making the bet that people hopefully just want to go see a story." In addition, T2 ranked VERY HIGH in Cinescape's "25 GREATEST SEQUEELS OF ALL TIME" crushing movies such as "Batman Returns" and "SW: Episode 2". T2 took their 9th spot in the list. ---------- |
