Animated Terminator project coming in 2009

Quote:

In a chat about the upcoming TV show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, producer James Middleton revealed some details about Termination, an animated project based on the Terminator franchise of movies which is scheduled for release in 2009. The project will be similar to The Animatrix, combining several animated short films set in the Terminator universe, although Middleton states that contributors will come from Japan and Europe and the shorts themselves "will have a much more international flair."

Interresting. This project, the new Fox TV show, and apparently rumors of a new trilogy means there is some weird new interrest in revisiting the property.

I like the idea of a series of "Animatrix" style segments and shorts. Much better than making a placid, goofy kiddy movie cartoon. Of course, that would have been cool too... but this seems much more interresting.

I was sorta done with Terminator after how awful 3 was I think I'd like to keep it that way.

I saw the preair of the Sarah Conner Chronicles, and if that's any indication of the direction the Terminator series is going, I'm pretty excited for this.

Terminator 3 wasn't too good for me either, but I still think there is some potential in these franchises. I'm pretty sure there are still people out there who can handle the property. Something like this sounds cool to me. It has me excited, that this sounds so similar to the Batman Anime shorts that are coming out before The Dark Knight. I'd love for this to be a new trend among properties. Like Drtooth said, it's much better then a bunch of kiddie dvd's.
