December 2015 - Work on the deleted scenes of Terminator Genisys has been finished. Like said before, I have not discovered whole new scenes. Only quick shots and parts of existing scenes. Some longer speeches and a few alternate takes. One of the problems I had with the marketing of Terminator Genisys, aside of revealing way too much and almost spoiling the entire movie upfront, is that it feels like they have been cheating. They have taken a lot of dialogue and placed it in other scenes where the character is talking. Also, they have used words from different lines of dialogues ansd pasted them together to create complete new lines. Not really fair, even misleading, and this also makes the search for deleted parts more intensive and time consuming. Terminator Genisys deleted scenes.

I also have added a picture of a rare alternate scene of The Terminator. It's the tv cut in which the shooting of the gun store clerk is not shown. Instead the door of the store flies open because of the gunshot blast. Check it out: The Terminator alternate scene Gunstore.

November 2015 - Work on the deleted scenes of Terminator Genisys has started. I have not discovered whole new scenes. Only quick shots and parts of existing scenes. Some longer speeches and a few alternate takes.

Also, they have used words from different lines of dialogues ansd pasted them together to create complete new lines. Not really fair, even misleading, and this also makes the search for deleted parts more intensive and time consuming.

I also have more deleted and alternate scenes of Terminator 2 3D and The Terminator. Will update them some time after work on the deleted scenes of Terminator Genisys has been finished.

Behind the scenes I'm still working on some Terminator Salvation deleted scenes. I also plan to make a start on the deleted scenes of the Sarah Connor Chronicles. I have also create a "fix list" of the all the little things and bugs on this site that I still have to fix. But progress is slow... as usual. So nothing new from me. Private life is still catching up on me.

I'm also working on the Terminator Salvation deleted scenes section, but personal life is slowing down my progress. I cannot give a deadline.

I recently filmed a christmas video in Terminator style together with Vic from Terminator Files. We had a good laugh and the video will most likely be posted online on youtube during the end of November.

I'm also busy with a page for the deleted scenes and alternate scenes of Terminator Salvation. I have gathered a lot of scenes and am excited to work them out. However, I don't want to create a complete new section before the DVD (with hopefully the promised 30-40 minutes of deleted scenes) has been released. So I will wait for the DVD release before putting up a complete new site section. For the moment, you can see most of the Terminator Salvation deleted scenes at this forum page.

So what did I think about Terminator Salvation? To be completely honest, I thought it sucked. Terminator 3 was even better. I have posted my review over at the Terminator Files forum. Will post it on this site soon.

In my last update, I gave you the download link to the file of the end of the Terminator Salvation novelization. Turns out the pdf itself was password protected. So here's the password: ts2000

May 2009 - First of all, sorry for the lack of updates last months. Youtube was kind enough to delete my complete account with 110+ videos, so I have been busy to re-upload a lot of these videos with a new account: http://www.youtube.com/hopeofthefuture2029

Writing now, it's the day after Terminator Salvation has been released in theatres. I'm hearing mixed reviews from the fans. Some loved it, some dispised it. I myself still have to see it, as the Dutch theatrical release takes place on June 3rd and I haven't been invited to any advanced screenings. :-(

However, I have some other news for you. I hate to tell it, but it's not positive. First of all, the PC versions of the game Terminator Salvation have had some problems. Turns out there's some kind of bug in the game which prevents the user from installing the game. Read more about it here:
Unfortunately a defect occurred during replication of the PC version of Terminator Salvation, which does not allow end users to install the game. The downloadable online PC versions, Xbox 360, PS3, are not affected and function properly. We have recalled all PC copies of Terminator Salvation from retail in North America and are currently in the process of replicating new copies. The new copies will be on store shelves in a few days. A replacement plan for all end users that purchased the defective units is currently being set up. Details to get a replacement copy will be announced shortly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused the end users that purchased the defective copy.

Second bad news is that the official movie novelization by Titanbooks does not contain the ending as it is shown in theatres. Instead of printing the right ending in the book, they have chosen to put it online in downloadable PDF file. I guess they didn't want to give away the ending before the movie would hit theatres, but then again, why wouldn't they wait with releasing the novel after the movie ht theatres? After all, it's like the title says: OFFICIAL MOVIE novelization. I would expect that the novel would have the OFFICIAL MOVIE ending and not some alternate ending. So now I end up with an official movie novelization that doesn't feature the official movie ending, and a separate digital download file which contains the real ending. I was certainly not please with this action.
For the ones who want the ending, here's the download link.

I also like to point to a Terminator site that has been started by Vic van der Put (staffmaster of TerminatorFiles): TerminatorsFans. This is fansite which collects the best Terminator fansites on the internet (even this site is linked over there, which is a great honor). A portal in which fans can view the best of the best in a blink of the eye! I hope you have a great time over there, and a lot of praise for Vic van der Put for creating this awesome initiative!! Terminator Fans - United for a better future!

The goal of this little fan site Hope Of The Future is to become one of the best Terminator fansites on the web. The objective is to present more exclusive material and info that other sites don't have, and trying to become the best Terminator fan site on that part.

April 2009 - A new month, with more cool Terminator stuff!!! Terminator Salvation is coming close and all the promotions are starting. First of all, 4 Terminator Salvation tv spots have released, and ofcourse I have gathered them for you on my youtube profile:
- Terminator Salvation TV commercial 1
- Terminator Salvation TV commercial 2
- Terminator Salvation TV commercial 3
- Terminator Salvation TV commercial 4

The Terminator Game site is up. Check it out for some cool character information and some wallpapers. But wait, there's more!! Pay attention and listen to the background music of that site. It's the Terminator theme! Will this be the new Terminator theme for Terminator Salvation? Anyway, I saved the files along with some background sound effects and uploaded them at this rapidshare link. I hope you will like it!

Topps is coming with a cool set of collectable Terminator Salvation trading cards. Check out what they've got to tell and take a first look at the cards! Looks awesome, so be sure to collect the full set and have yourself a great addition to your Terminator collection. Read more!

Pizza Hut is coming with a great gesture towards the Terminator fans! First of all, Pizza Hut is showing its support of the human resistance by giving anyone named Sarah or John Connor a free pizza on May 21. But that's not all! They also launch a contest in which you could win fabulous prizes including a lifesize 1:1 T-600 replica! That bad ass machine will definitely make an impression when it stands in next to your TV in your living room. So be sure not to miss it!

February 2009 - What an unpleasant way to start the year 2009. It turns out that in the month January, my site has been hacked. All html pages in this site linked to some external sites that tried to download shit. Sorry for that, I tried to fix the hacked site by removing every single file and uploading a backup. So I hope it is fixed now. However, if you stumble into something you don't trust on this site (e.g. something that suddenly tries to downloads files from external sites), please contact me and I will take a lookat it asap!!!!
