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.

I just got Mission Impossible 3 in the mail today from my favorite movie-by-mail rental program, and the only reason why I want to watch it is to form an opinion on JJ Abrams as a director. Why? Well, because I’m a fan of Star Trek and would like to see more Trek films in the future. If JJ messes the next Star Trek up, it may be a while before we get another.
Anyway, JJ Abrams did announce that James T. Kirk will be appearing in his Star Trek film. Of course that doesn’t mean a lot because we don’t really know what it means. Is this a young Kirk? Is this the return of Shatner somehow? Is it a secondary role?
I don’t know about that, only that he better not mess it up.

CanMag has a picture of Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers movie. I’m not sure I like the look of the Transformers, but I’ll give the film a chance. This may be either Michael Bay’s return to glory (if he was ever glorious) or his final hurray. There’s a major audience imbedded within this potential franchise, if he messes it up don’t expect tons of cash being thrown his way for future films. But, let’s face it, Transformers is going to bring in the summer bucks.
