Way back in 1999 I with the help of a good friend released my Terminator fan script Terminator 3: Final Retribution (T3:FR)onto the internet. The site went through a number it iterations including hosting through two different services, a liquid metal logo animation, message boards and even a Future War set written Terminator RPG.
We advertised the script as…”The Fan script fit for the big screen!“
You can still find on of the old sites on the internet to this day, it features artwork by another friend, Terminator short fiction and who knows you might even be able to still read the script online! If not you can download it from Terminator Files- They have absurdly detailed files! look under Scripts.
On top of that just like my inspiration in screenwriting Jim Cameron would draw artwork I also did some drawings as as part of the Digital Restoration Project I’m going to upload some artwork that I did around the time of the website release. So prepare to be Terminated by mediocre artwork as we travel back to 1999!
In T3:FR I wrote a direct follow up to Terminator 2: Judgment Day in which General Connor came back through time to protect himself and stop Skynet from two Automated Personell EXterminator Terminator units sent back through time by Skynet to kill off John Connor in the past. Here is a sketch of Apex One based on a certain actor.
After the break meet his female counterpart and find more art from 1999′s Terminator 3: Final Retribution!
Here is my call as Apex 2.
Skynet concept art comes next based on a key moment in the story-
Next we have two parts to one piece a vertical double paged movie poster based on scenes from the script.
In case you were wondering here’s a sketch of a Machine Unit I designed called an Arachnid!
And to combat the Machines the Resistance built the highly impractical
Resistance Attack Vehicle!
And just in case you’d forgotten.
General John Connor wants you to…
That’s it for the Digital Restoration Project for now…thanks for checking it out.
Ross.
