Now here for the bad news

# It’s going to be 3D.
# It’s going to be animated.
# They’re going to tone down the violence to get a PG-13 rating.

Terminator 3000 runs into Slight Snag, Its Funny


So apparently the new $70million Terminator 3000 movie we told you about yesterday has run into a wee snag and its one that made me shake my head and chuckle. I am not up on the ways that filmmakers go about making movies for big studios but this one takes the cake in my views. Yesterday we told you via ReelComix that Hanover House announced they are working on a $70million Animated Terminator movie with a PG13 rating goal to reach the largest market possible.
Today from Deadline comes word that Hanover House did not exactly have permission to do this. Pacificor the rights holders of the Terminator franchise sent a cease and desist letter to Hanover House. Eric Parkinson then told Deadline the following in response;

“We’ve arranged a meeting, we’ll show them our money and if the rational brain prevails, they’ll take the deal. If not, I can’t do it without them. You’ll have a followup next week that we are either holding hands, or not doing the film.
At least we now have our meeting. I hope they will can think outside the box, because if we can make a movie that delivers a $20 million to $30 million rights payment, that is an income source they didn’t realize was possible. If not, it was a good idea anyway.”

So if I want to make a superman movie and send out a press release stating that I am doing an extremely graphic R rated animated version for $70million is it ok ? For me a PG animated Terminator movie is as wrong as messing with the superman formula

Your not the only one :pac:

I thought the next Terminator movie was going to be a proper film? With real people and such?

Thought Robert Patrick had been signed up since the end of T4?

Wow, Robert Patrick?

RP in T2 was one of the most inspired casting choice of all time. I can't imagine anyone else coming close to his T-1000!

The Terminator franchise has changed since Salvation what with the rights being up for sale. The supposed trilogy with McG at the helm has been thrown out the window.

Anyways, this company is known for making shoddy direct-to-DVD movies so somehow I don't think theyll be allowed a high-end franchiise like this so easily.

As far as I was aware a new trilogy was originally planned with Terminator:Salvation being the first film. Less then expected takings resulted in the sequels being scraped. The rights were then sold.

Personally I think Salvation was a dog of a film, the franchise similar to the Predator franchise was really all about Arnie, without him on board it's a non event.

But you never know, I would give an animated Arnie a chance

Yeah, can't remember where I heard it now or anything to be honest, so it could be lies, but I heard that the T-1000 gimmick returns, and Robert Patrick plays a scientist that discovers his liquid metal or something to that effect.


Mustn't be true, though?

Could've been a plan at one point in the "New" trilogy. But i doubt it'll come good.

On the plus-side McGeebag doesn't appear to be involved.

El Guapo!

Can they not just let a legendary movie franchise die and sit in the hall of fame rather than over-doing it and turning it into a farce.

This is definitely one franchise that has been well and truly flogged like a long deceased horse at this point. Rise of the Machines may have been ho-hum, but at least it was a Terminator film in style and character, just not a very good one. Salvation was a generic sci-fi action movie which just happened to be set in the Terminator universe, and one of those films that illustrates that sometimes mere mediocrity is almost worse that outright badness. It has descended into a realm of dullness, and they should have let it go when Arnie was sworn into office. I think James Cameron had the right idea jumping ship :pac:

And switching to animation is rarely a positive sign for an old franchise.
