Dec 16 2008Terminator to 'Be Back' in Theaters
Following largely positive reactions towards what's been released from the upcoming Terminator Salvation, Halcyon Co. heads Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek have decided to move forward with next sequel in the series. From the Variety:
The Terminator will be back.Halcyon Co. toppers Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek are developing a fifth instalment of the man-vs.-machine franchise.
Helmer McG, who directed the upcoming fourth pic, "Terminator Salvation," is working with the Halcyon duo on the latest project.
The duo had originally planned to wait until the release of "Terminator Salvation" next summer before deciding on whether to proceed with the next chapter, but the positive studio, fan and media reaction to footage from the current pic has encouraged them to move forward ahead of schedule.
Man, they beat me to saying "Terminator will be back." I was totally going to use that as a cute callback to when Terminator said how he'd be back. I'll have to go with: Looks like Terminator won't be saying "hasta la vista" to any "babies" negligently left in theaters--a sequel is already being planned! That works.

They should make a terminator VS Batman VS Iron Man VS Your Mom VS the Transformers (All of them) Vs Superman VS William Shatner Movie.
That would sell. (You know it has been discussed. Just probably not in that order.)

after the bouts of sequel-itis and acute remake-itis i've seen in hollywood i've come to the conclusion that what the writers are lacking the most is the ability to create new characters. here's why: the sequels and remakes all have different plots from the original, but what stays the same is usually the title and the character names. if they could just come up with a new title/character, at least they would make crappy movies without disrespecting good, old movies.
