Terminator Reboot Set For 2015

Paramount Sets ‘Terminator’ Relaunch For June 26, 2015

Paramount has confirmed the long in the works deal to cofinance and distribute the reboot of James Cameron’s Terminator franchise creation. Highbrow picture maker Megan Ellison spent over $20 million for the rights in 2011, and the project didn’t go very far. Things finally started percolating when Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures joined forces with brother David Ellison, whose Skydance Productions has a deal with Paramount and makes popcorn movies. Avatar’s Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier have been working on the script for months. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the title character and the hope is to get at least two movies done before North American copyright reverts back to Cameron, who might want a fortune or might want to retire the franchise. Here’s the announcement:

Quote:

Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted “TERMINATOR” movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, “TERMINATOR” will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalorgridis (“Avatar,” “Shutter Island”) and Patrick Lussier (“Drive Angry”) are attached to write the screenplay.

Launched in 1984 with star Arnold Schwarzenegger as the title character, “TERMINATOR” spanned 3 subsequent films, which have earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

David Ellison most recently executive produced, along with his partners at Paramount, “World War Z,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol”. A 5th installment of in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise is in active development, along with a 3rd film in the “G.I. Joe” franchise, among other films.

Megan Ellison most recently produced the Academy Award®-nominated “Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Master” and executive produced “Spring Breakers” via her Annapurna Pictures banner and has David O. Russell’s “American Hustle,” Spike Jonze’s “Her,” and Bennett Miller’s “Foxcatcher” set for release later this year

a girl is in charge of terminator

just great

Great the Terminator Alzheimers....I'll be back.....I think....

Why?

Why the hell does terminator need a reboot?

There was nothing wrong with the original

I don't want to see flabby Arnold make any more Terminator movies. It be like watching Holyfield fight again.

I've got lots of nostalgia from the originals. Hopefully this doesn't shit all over that.

it seems like all they do anymore is remake movies

how many different spider mans can there be?

expanding or continuing the story is one thing, but i really hate when they go back and make up a new story

1. It didn't need a reboot
2. If you do a reboot anyway, why the **** would you keep Arnold? He can't exactly pull off badass robot these days.

:doh!:

lazy,greedy bastiges

You're missing the most important part of this press release: Skydance Productions.

World War Z, Ghost Protocol, True Grit, etc.

It was a brilliant move on her part to purchase the rights for such a small sum because she'll undoubtedly make a decent ROI.

Arnold isn't flabby. I saw him at the Palm recently and he looked great.

Not defending, just explaining.

Yeah, rebooting doesn't make much sense. It seems to me that a better idea would be to set it up with another timeline, another terminator, etc.

Something along the lines of Skynet somehow figuring out that their attempts to kill John Connor didn't work, so they need to take a different tactic in order to defeat the humans.
