| quote: | 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." |

I'm too excited about Live Free or Die Hard (aka Die Hard 4!!!) coming out this summer to have an opinion about this new (4th as well) Termiator film!
THE 4TH DIE HARD FILM WILL WILLIS OWN! WHOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!
(edit: the ONLY thing that might kill my die hard buzz and let me start to think about these new terminator future movies is if they make die hard 4 a PG-13 film, instead of the R RATED film is HAS to be. u cant tame down McClane w/ pg-13 dialogue. that'll be LAME AS HELL)

the guy McClane (Willis) is with goes: "You took him out w/ a ing plane!!"
McClane goes "It was either that or bullets."
OMG! ING YESS!!! John McClane is BACK in action and kicking just as much ass as ever!!!

love the die hard series... the first one is a regular christmas movie we weatch yearly. ;)
In my opinion, Terminator isn't the same without James Cameron at the helm, let alone arnold. Gale Anne Hurd should have kept the rights, with James writing/directing. Awesome duo. |
