Mario Kassar and Andrew Vajna owned the rights to the Terminator series, and create the turd, uh, third film in the series. But, they have sold the rights to the highly recognized franchise to Halcyon. Along with the rights, the deal included the screenplay for the Terminator 4, and Halcyon plans on producing the 4th movie soon. Rumors are that the plans are for at least 3 more films, that’s called ROI, or “return on investment”. Pay big bucks for a franchise, better milk it for all it’s worth.
That may be difficult without James Cameron behind the camera, or Arnold Schwarzenegger in front of it, but surely new life can be blown into this thing.
The film version of Angels & Demons, the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, is closer to reality. Tom Hanks is almost signed to star.
I’m one of the folks who didn’t hate the movie version of the best-selling book The Da Vinci Code, so I wouldn’t mind seeing Angels & Demons come to the big screen. The Da Vinci Code was directed by Ron Howard, and according to the listing at IMDB, he’ll be directing the sequel as well.
