Hanover house have today made a press release stating they will develop Terminator 3000, a $70 million, 3D animated feature "based on the characters & situations introduced in the original Terminator feature film". They have also stated that "Story details for Terminator 3000 are being kept under close wraps, but the writers & production team have a stated goal of minimizing violence in order to obtain a PG-13 level of material." Great, your core subject is a cold, capable & lethal killing machine and your aiming for a PG-13 ..as bizarre as this sounds Terminator Salvation also had a PG-13 rating. Production apparently will begin in January 2011.
Hemdale produced and distributed director James Cameron's original Terminator feature, but released the sequel rights in 1990 to Carolco, which later transferred the rights to ultimately end up under the control of Halcyon Media. Santa Barbara based Pacificor, LLC prevailed in the most recent auction and transfer of rights to the franchise in January, and retains approval and licensing authority over the proposed Terminator 3000 project.
