Kyle Reese, The T-800, Sarah and John Connor. It looks like global recession may succeed where they all failed and knock out Skynet for good –if a buyer for the Terminator rights can’t be found soon.
“Terminator Salvation: It’s alright I Suppose” Didn’t exactly fire up the box office the way struggling License owners Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek hoped, and now bankruptcy is a-knocking they’re attempting to flog off the dying horse, despite the franchise seemingly carrying a curse; bankrupting every studio that touches it.
It’s probable whoever picks up the rights will squeeze out another McG/Christian Bale shoutathon, although the future of Warner’s Sarah Connor Chronicles and related spin-offs has been cast into serious shadow.
We here at STS were disappointed in the post-T2 drop-off in killer robot quality, and we’d happily organise a whip round to raise the estimated $60Million value, but unfortunately we’re currently $59,999,997.50 short. Dig deep readers-the future is in your hands.
Unhappy with the direction Terminator has taken? Assuming it’s under new management which direction would you like to see the franchise take?

I’d like to see a movie set after the war, when humans have defeated the machines and made them subservient. Humans accordingly are fat and arrogant, and live a futuristic and hedonistic lifestyle. Connor is an old man whose politics seem outdated and whom nobody listens to anymore. This movie charts the second machine uprising. I kinda liked that half-terminator guy from T4 (the movie not the show) maybe his brain state-chip could be dug up in a robot mine and put into a drone robot. Then of course he leads a machine rebellion. Final battle features old-man Connor in a massive bio-mech suit fighting with new-uprisey terminator in the charred remains of the human city. Connor is forced to ask himself which side he wants to fight for. Which side is ultimately…

human.
p.s. Sarah Connor comes back in hologram form.
Brilliant! Call Ridley Scott immediately! Actually, if the rights go to the correct people, maybe we can get a future Earth Alien invasion, with humanity forced to resurrect SkyNet to defend the planet?
RoboCop / Terminator crossover.
Animated.

How come Skynet’s still going in these films?
Based on any computer ive ever had, its got about 3 years tops before it becomes terminally knackered and all the terminators have to stand round for AGES every time it has to make a decision.
Given the smooth design, I reckon Skynet’s a mac, even though you’d think Bill Gates would own the military in the future. Welcome aboard Ex!
