Terminator 4 coming 2009... as part of a trilogy?
New start for the Terminator but the same old writers.
The Terminator is back. The Halycon Co. have purchased the rights to the franchise and they now intend to make a brand new trilogy, the first of which will be released in the first half of 2009. There will be no James Cameron involved which we all knew anyway, and certainly no Arnold Schwarzenegger. This is a brand new trilogy, that will focus on John Connor in his 30's as part of a very depleted human race who must stand up against the machines. The next installment, Terminator 4 will be based on a script written by John D. Brancato and Michael Ferris who collaborated together on Terminator 3 and also that hideous Catwoman movie. The new deal also includes any t.v. spinoffs, merchandise, profits from the previous movie and all licensing rights including certain rights to The Sarah Connor Chronicles T.V. show which still hasn't had it's pilot picked up by anyone yet. What's your thoughts on this guys? Surely it's a strange move to keep the writers from the weakest film in the franchise when you are going for a completely new cast, tone and direction. Can three more movies work, without Arnie or Cameron's involvement? Who for The Terminator? Who for director? Can't help but feel those will be the make or break decisions in the upcoming months.
