Halcyon, a privately funded company, has bought the rights to the Terminator franchise from Andy Vajna and Mario Kassar, with plans to produce a fourth film, Variety reported. The first three Terminator films all featured Arnold Schwarzenegger; it's unlikely the current governor of California would be involved in the fourth film.

Terminator 4 would be based on a script by writers John Brancato and Michael Ferris, who penned Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The script, which has been kept under tight wraps, picks up with John Connor in his 30s, leading what's left of the human race against the machines. It is being seen as the start of a new trilogy and an attempt to reinvent the franchise with new cast and plotlines, a la Batman Begins and Casino Royale.

Moritz Borman, the former CEO of Intermedia Films and executive producer of T3, will produce. Kubicek and Anderson will co-produce, and former PolyGram Films marketing president Peter D. Graves will be executive producer and oversee marketing of the picture.

Halcyon was created by entrepreneurs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. It acquired the right to produce Terminator films, future merchandising and licensing ventures.

No director or cast has yet been secured for Terminator 4, which is being earmarked for a summer 2009 release.

Meanwhile, the trade paper reported that the Fox broadcast network is said to be impressed with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, a Warner Brothers TV-produced hourlong drama pilot based on the Terminator characters and mythology. It could be ordered to series as early as this week.

Raph's Girl note: Weee!!....:sleep:

Hmm. Good news or bad news?

...I'm at a loss for words.

Definately good news....sux that Arnold won't be in it but hopefully they can cast it right...though it will be really, really hard to see a T film with no Arnold in it....

vin diesel!! He should be the terminator.

I think the next 3 should be about the war then at the last movie do the one where they send a terminator back in time and do the circle once again.

that would be an endless cycle.

Vin's a good lookin' dude but I'm not so sure as to his acting skills I'm also not sure how I feel about these movies being made it'd be nice if some one came up with some thing new for once.:ohwell:

Vin Diesel would be great as a Terminator, if only for the fact that he always reminded me of a robot. :D

First I hear that they're making Terminator 4 with the Rock as the Terminator, then I hear that Arnold will in fact be playing the Terminator again and now this... Rumors are really starting to get annoying.

I never heard anything about Arnold being in T4. Where'd that come from?

If John Cena could learn to act, I think he'd be great in that role. He already kind of looks like the terminator.

ahah I'm so gonna get flamed for this but I really liked John Cena in his movie cause I rented it and was like wow he's not half bad! Cause when you see wrestlers in movies I expect it to be utter crap like most of those 90's movies with wcw wrestlers. But I quite enjoy Cena's movie I was going to say I'd like to see him play the Terminator but I didn't because I know most people here hate him.

I don't hate Cena actually. I've been a fan of his since he was called Prototype, he trained around this area and did a lot of indie shows locally. I haven't seen his movie yet, but I heard he wasn't that good... If he's better than Ive been told then I am all for it.

Yeah I was told it sucks I rented it and enjoyed it allot but I do have odd tastes I never listen to other peoples opinions and see things anyways because people told me the last x-men movie sucked and I really enjoyed it as much as the others it was just so jam packed with action and emotion.

Rumor has been circulating for a couple years that Arnold would be in T4.

ATM it looks like he won't be in T4 - T6, nor will he be in the tv series.

T 3 was a bad remake of T 2. T 2 is one of the greatest action movies ever made and honestly I don't see anything toping it anytime soon with the rate things are going.

Do you really want to see a big CGI Terminator fest? I sure don't. They used CGI sparingly in T 2 and it was amazing. It's still some of the best CGI to date because it's mixed with real life.

New movies CGI everything. The person, the place, and the thing their holding. Movies are soulless now. We live in a time where a live action movie is nothing more then a fancy cartoon and all the actors are just voice actors.

Maybe all this has something to do with insurance. If they use harmless computers to initiate actions scenes, well, nothing for the insurance guy to be sweating about. But when you have stunt doubles and popular actors involved in a compex action sequences, I'm pretty sure the insurance rates go through the roof, as well as the threat of a massive law suit if something terrible goes wrong (like what happened with Brandon Lee in the Crow)

But T3, completely sh!t on everything good about T2. To have Sarah Connor die of Cancer, and at such a young age? BS! It would have been better if at the end, when the machines finally rise, she sacrificed herself for her son to protect him.

But then again, Linda Hamilton probably had no interest in T3, and I really say I dont blame her.

it says she was born in 1965 and died in 1997 but she was supposed to be a legend among members of the resistance how to fight and survive in the war in the future.. If you remembe the alternate ending of T2, Sarah Connor was a grandmother in the future but they removed it instead.

Wait, why are you guys saying the new Terminator should be able to act? I love Arnie but let's not pretend he's a good actor.

Personally I think this is one of the few roles the Rock would be good for.

the rock is ok but I don't think he's suitable for this kind of role. the terminator needs someone that fits the role.

Problem with movies and show slike this is replacing a famous person from a movie/show can cause consequences on the show leads to cancel or the movie to fail in the sequal.

Why do we need anymore of these, anyway?? They didn't need to make Terminator 3. 2 was a gleaming treasure chest of awesome but now the series sux IMO.

I really don't understand why some people think T3 was that horrible. As far as I can tell, the only thing they negated was the 'Future Coda' ending that was never officially tacked on to the second movie. Of course, I may never understand. I was never a fan of The Terminator mythos. I actually just saw them for the first time within the past year. :sweatdro: I know that if I had seen them in my childhood, back when I had significantly less tolerance for anything that didn't impress the living daylights out of me, I would have called it sensationalistic garbage wrapped in an uninspired story. What an extremist I was, huh? :embarass: But, IMHO, the worst Terminator EVER was and, god-willing, will ever be was "THE TURTLE TERMINATOR". Uninspired parodies are the worst...
