So you may have already heard that Halcyon, the driving force behind this year’s Terminator: Salvation had filed for Chapter 11 protection last month due to its ongoing dispute with Pacificor, the Santa Barbara-based hedge fund that financed its purchase of the movie franchise and FTI Capital Advisors have been hired to “evaluate strategic alternatives” to bankruptcy. Part of which includes a view to auctioning off the Terminator franchise rights in order to save the ailing company. Could this be the lid closing on any future Terminator films helmed by McG?
We should be so fucking fortunate!
In a statement released by Kevin W. Shultz, Senior Managing Director of FTI Capital Advisors, he explains,
“Based on our extensive due diligence, we believe the value of the Terminator franchise alone is substantially greater than the $30 million Halcyon paid for it in 2007. In our view, Halcyon enjoys a wide variety of strategic options and we intend to explore them all.”
Amongst that wide variety is the right of refusal for any movie based on Philip K. Dick’s novels. And according to Halcyon, the next Terminator movie is already in development, unaffected by the company’s financial situation.
Awwww shit, McG made a big fuckin’ bonfire with the last one, now he’s coming back to piss on it. Mc”fuckin”G.
