James Cameron möchte eine
neue Terminator Trilogie schaffen!
:thumb::love:
In einem aktuellen Interview mit "News Corp Australia Network"
äußerte sich James Cameron
zu seinem Wunsch bzgl. einer neuen Terminator Trilogie und
bestätigte hierzu Gespräche mit
dem derzeitigem Rechteinhaber David Ellison. Sollten diese mit
einem positiven Ergebnis enden,
steht einer Trilogie nichts im Wege! :love:
HIer der Originalartikel:
HE said he’d be back and he meant it — director James Cameron wants
to make another three Terminator movies.
The master director, behind the two highest grossing movies of all
time in Avatar and Titanic, says he is looking to “reinvent” the
big-budget sci-fi franchise that put him on the map in 1984. His
original Terminator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a murderous
cyborg sent from the future was made for a modest US$6million and
went on to make US$78 million and became a cult classic.
Its 1991 sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, was at the time the
most expensive film ever made, with a budget of US$100 million, and
was a critical and box office hit, raking in US$520 million thanks
to its explosive mix of memorable characters, old-school action and
cutting-edge technology.
Cameron opted out of directing the third film, Rise Of the
Machines, and the franchise has been in decline ever since. 2015’s
critically derided reboot Terminator: Genisys, with Game Of
Thrones’ Emelia Clarke and Aussies Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney
joining Schwarzenegger in the cast was to be the first in a new
series, but underperformed at the box office, making sequels
unlikely.
But now, ahead of 3D theatre re-release of T2 next month, Cameron
says he is in negotiations to oversee a new “three-film arc” if the
ongoing issues with the rights to the franchise can be resolved.
The rights to make the films have changed several times since the
release of the first film, but under US copyright law some rights
will revert to Cameron in 2019. Schwarzenegger would be involved
“to some extent” in the proposed trilogy but the plan would be to
introduce new characters to “pass the baton”.
“The question is — has the franchise run its course or can it be
freshened up?,” says Cameron. “Can it still have relevance now
where so much of our world is catching up to what was science
fiction in the first two films. We live in a world of predator
drones and surveillance and big data and emergent AI (artificial
intelligence).
“So I am in discussions with David Ellison, who is the current
rights holder globally for the Terminator franchise and the rights
in the US market revert to me under US copyright law in a year and
a half so he and I are talking about what we can do. Right now we
are leaning toward doing a three-film arc and reinventing
it.”
“We’ll put more meat on the bones if we get past the next couple of
hurdles as and when we announce that.”
