'Terminator' back for a new trilogy

[min0 lee]

Cool.....but no Arnorld in it.

LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The Terminator is coming back.

A nascent film company has acquired the franchise rights to the popular movie series from producers Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna, intending to make a new trilogy. The deal is said to be in the tens of millions of dollars.
The Halcyon Co. -- a privately financed firm -- plans to begin immediate preproduction on "Terminator 4," with hopes that it will be ready for release in the first half of 2009.

The script, by John Brancato and Michael Ferris, was part of the transaction. No distributor is on board, or any talent.

Halcyon -- headed by advertising veteran Derek Anderson and "Cook-Off!" producer Victor Kubicek -- pursued the "Terminator" rights aggressively for several months, knowing that the series is one of the few recognizable properties out there not in the hands of a major studio. Halcyon also is concentrating on a merchandising and licensing push for the property.
The rights to "Terminator" have changed hands several times.

Kassar acted as an executive producer for 1991's "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," and he and Vajna acquired interests from Gale Anne Hurd -- who produced the first one in 1984 and executive produced the second -- when the duo made 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines."

Randal Graves: All right, look, there's only one "Return," okay, and it ain't "of the King," it's "of the Jedi."
Hobbit Lover: Oh, Star Wars geek.
Randal Graves: Oh, I'm the geek? Look at you two whipping out your preciouses.
Elias: You'll have to excuse him, he's not "down" with the trilogy.
Randal Graves: Oh, what the fuck happened to this world? There's only one trilogy, you fucking morons.
Hobbit Lover: You know what, maybe we should start calling your friend Padme, 'cause he loves Manakin Skywalker so much, right?
Hobbit Lover: [in robot voice]Danger danger, my name is Anakin. My shitty acting is ruining saga.
Elias: [chucking] Yeah, you're crazy Jar-Jar.
Randal Graves: Oh, I'm crazy? Those fuckin' hobbit movies were boring as hell. All it was, was a bunch of people walking, three movies of people walking to a fucking volcano.
Randal Graves: [describing the Lord of the Rings Trilogy] Here's the first movie.
[walks a few steps, staring blankly]
Randal Graves: And here's the second movie.
[walks a few steps again, pretends to trip]
Hobbit Lover: He is way off, loser.
Randal Graves: You ready for the third movie?
[walks yet again, stops, pretends to throw the ring into the volcano. Shrugs his shoulders and turns around] Even the fucking trees walked in that movie.
Randal Graves: [Randal making fun of Lord of the Rings] The movie should have ended on the logical closure point, not the 25 endings that followed. And what's with that gay fucking look, I thought Sam was going to saunter over Frodo and suck his fucking cock. Now that would have been an Academy Award worthy ending.
Hobbit Lover: Hey faggot, Sam and Frodo aren't gay! Their hobbits!
Randal Graves: And then after the Frodo and Sam suckfest, just before the credits roll, Sam straight up fucking bricks in Frodo's mouth.

I laughed so much when i saw that i cried.

He is so fucking right, LOTR sucks.

I really hope they don't mess T4 up. I always wondered how T3 would have been had it been directed by James Cameron and if they got the original John Connor.

 

[KelJu]

That is what I was thinking. Only a young fit Arnold should be playing the terminator. If there is no young Arnold around, don't make the movie.

 

[ponyboy]

At the end of T3 they opened it up for T4 definitely. I always assumed they would be making another. If they do it right then it could be good.

 

[maniclion]

I bet it's just gonna be Matrix 4, with Humans hiding and fighting robotic enemies....

 

[goob]

I'm more interested in seeing The Hobbit (2008)

Yeah. Actually more than most movies. If done well, it will be spectacular.

 

[Souped_up]

Terminator 3 was a dissapointment. Cheesy compared to the first 2. Without arnold it definitely would suck.

 

[AKIRA]

Eh. I dont think it would suck cuz Arnold isnt in it. People came to watch a fit guy who didnt die in the first one. Anyone big can play a robot. Hell, thats what bad acting is...robotic.

 

[fufu]

Let's hope they don't try to get an Arnold look alike. I doubt they would, but if they did they would really ruin it.

I hadn't even thought of that.
