Terminator 2 Turns 25, But Our Celebration May Be Terminated!

On July 3rd, 1991, Terminator 2 was released and met with critic and fan praise

alike. While Schwarzenegger was already a big star with Conan, Predator, Twins

and Total Recall, many believe it was the role in Terminator 2 that propelled Arnold

from a well-known entertainer to a top international A-lister.

25 years later, Terminator 2: Judgment Day remains, for many, Schwarzenegger’s

best film. It broke R-rated box office records and was the highest grossing film of

the year. To this day, we’re blown-away by the talent from the cast and crew. Their

contributions set the highest bar in special effects, make-up, actor performances,

writing, sound, musical score and brilliant artistic direction by James Cameron.

Considering the film’s big scale, how many awards it earned, how the industry was

forever changed by the groundbreaking visual effects and worldwide social impact,

it SICKENS ME to think that there is no word from studios announcing any sort of

25th anniversary fan celebration for this cinematic pop culture A-lister!

There SHOULD BE a major fan meet-up at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, complete

with a booth, a cast and crew panel, cosplay gatherings and 25th anniversary

merchandise. Yet there have been no announcements from StudioCanal. There

SHOULD BE a major world-wide re-released of T2 in theaters but from what we’re

hearing now, ONLY China may be getting the 3D release in October. There SHOULD

BE a Terminator-themed Convention. There SHOULD BE a major online social media

party on July 3rd. Yet no official press releases have gone out. Twitter SHOULD have

an endoskeleton emoji for when anyone uses the hashtag #Terminator2 on that day.

We are just days and hours away from the official 25-year anniversary. This is not

just any anniversary; this is Terminator Fucking Two!

Let’s see the fans rise up! Apparently it’s up to TheArnoldFans to get an online party

going. We shall be partying hard online on July 3rd and we hope anyone with taste

in great cinema shows support. Come of fans, since the studio who owns the rights

to T2 is completely ignoring this film, it’s up to US ALL to share some online love.

Share stories on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and more. Let’s hear your stories of

when and where you were when you saw T2 and who you saw it with. Share

pictures of your memories, your cosplay, collections, artwork, anything and

everything! Tag Arnold in your posts and tell the world that July 3rd, the 25th

anniversary of Terminator 2, is a day for worldwide fan celebration! Rise up,

Arnold’s Army!
