Why has she been doing only direct to video movies post-Terminator 3?

Is she doing these movies because they’re an easy paycheck, or if she kind of just got stuck doing these movies and she couldn't get out of them? Why hasn't Kristanna Loken gotten a bigger film since T3?

She was rejected for many projects for being too tall according to herself! Or she did shaky readings.

That must have been her excuse or the excuse of others since there are other actresses that are just as tall or taller than her.

Didn't like her in T3 and don't know anyone that did. The villains of the first two movies are much more formidable.

Chyna, Famke Janssen and Lucy Lawless were supposedly in the running for the T-X. All were superior choices to what we got.

Chyna would have been awful. Famke Janssen was all shot out at that point. Lucy Lawless, maybe.

I'm reminded of Blackie Lawless being considered for the role of T-1000.

Famke still looked way hot in 02/03, but she was probably contracted to do X2 instead around same time

"Didn't like her in T3 and don't know anyone that did."

Must be something wrong with you and your circle of friends... then again, I also liked the humour in the strip tease bar scene, I know that dead serious terminator fans hated that. The humour in T3 was much better than in T2.

You like Marvel stuff?

[–] pjl69 (2647) a year ago

No, of course not. I haven't really bothered with comic book movies besides Joker and The Batman in recent years.

I thought she was great in T3. I also think that film is much better than the very overrated T2.

Chyna would have been horrible. May as well cast a guy.
