From The Arnold Fans:

[quote="Randy Jennings"]
In August of 2010, we shared with you the news that an all-new Terminator animated film called Terminator 3000 was possibly in the works. Sadly, we had not heard many details about this project nor had we heard any new progress reports…until now! TheArnoldFans tracked down Hannover House’s president and T3K developer, Eric Parkinson, to get the answers. If this film gets the green-light we can expect it to have a CG animation style similar to James Cameron’s Avatar!

As many of you know, Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Productions are now the current holders of the Terminator license; however, we fans are pulling our hair out waiting and waiting for them to make an announcement of a new feature film. It’s been nearly a year since they acquired the rights, and we Terminator fans, in dire need of a new, well-made film, are left with the bitter taste of McG’s disaster. Will Annapurna Productions bring new life to the franchise? Before we get into it, check out this nice piece of art we obtained from Hannover House, created to pitch the film. This is not final art but their current title treatment.


Parkinson: “It’s in the time being in the hands of Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Productions, whether or not they want to proceed. We reached out to them, communicated with her council and expressed our outline with the basic story structure with the proposed principal creative team and how it can be financed and how Annapurna Productions can make a lot of money with upfront licensing. But there are issues at play that I am not privy to. I think that most people are aware of how long this ticking bomb that this Terminator licensing exists before it goes back to James Cameron.â€

This franchise and Arnie's career need to just die gracefully.

I wonder how they are gonna explain why the Terminator is fat, can barely move, and is pumped full of botox.

You know what else is obsolete and needs to die gracefully. AICN. Zing!!!!

I can see a T5, and I can see it being a big success, because people WILL want to see Arnie back playing the terminator, I just know they will.

But beyond that, I think The Last Stand proves that Arnie can't just be put in anything.
Though I think the marketing for that film didn't go far enough, and I really think they shoulda played up the "Arnie's first film in 10 years" thing. Failure of marketing there, but also huge collossally stupid move on the parts of both the studio and Arnie. Arnie for signing on to do such an awful film, and the studio for not pushing to get Arnie into a bigger-deal movie as his re-debut.

I think T5 will be a colossal failure as well, but it makes a ton more sense than Twins 2: Triplets.

[MouthForWar]

Regardless, The Last Stand was advertised left and right, so the public knew about it even if they didn't know it was his first film in 10 years.

I honestly think people just don't care about him anymore.

The only thing that will save T5 is the name value of having Arnie and the franchise attached again. But even that is far from a sure bet.
