‘Terminator’ Sequels to be Released in 2017, 2018

Reef Entertainment secures rights to make
Paramount Pictures is amping up its rebooted “Terminator” franchise, dating two sequels to “Terminator: Genisys,” which opens July 1.

The studio has dated “Terminator 2? for May 19, 2017, and “Terminator 3? on June 29, 2018.

“Terminator 2? is the first film to land on that date. “Terminator 3? will open against an untitled Fox/DreamWorks Animation/Blue Sky film.

Paramount is partnered with David Ellison’s Skydance on the rebooted franchise, which launched in 1984 with James Cameron directing Arnold Schwarzenegger as the iconic cyborg.

“Terminator: Genisys,” the fifth installment in the franchise, is directed by  Alan Taylor from a script by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier.  Schwarzenegger will reprise his role along with Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Dayo Okeniyi, Matt Smith, Byung-hun Lee and J. K. Simmons.

In 2012, David Ellison agreed to partner with sibling Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures following their joint acquistion of rights from Pacificor, which, acquired the rights in a bankruptcy court auction in early 2010 over objections from Sony and Lionsgate. In early 2014, Megan Ellison decided to pull out of the reboot project.

“Terminator Salvation,” the fourth film in the franchise, was produced by Halcyon toppers Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson with Warner Bros. handling domestic distribution and Sony taking international. It carried a production pricetag of about $200 million and took in $371 million worldwide in 2009.

A spokeswoman for Annapurna said in 2012 that under new copyright rules, North American rights to The Terminator franchise could revert back to creator James Cameron in 2019 — 35 years after the original “Terminator” was released.

Netflix is going to stream Gotham tv series!

You know who thinks Gotham looks good? Netflix. They’ve purchased the streaming rights for reportedly up to $1.75 million per episode, well before the show’s premiere on September 22nd. So either they’ve seen the first few episodes and liked what they saw or they’re taking a big, big chance. Let’s hope it’s the former.

Syfy Turning Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End Into A Miniseries

Syfy Turning Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End Into A Miniseries

After weeks of speculating, it’s official: Syfy will turn Arthur C. Clarke’s Childhood’s End into a six-hour miniseries. And it’s going to premiere next year. But don’t fret, the folks attached to it give us a lot of hope for this project.

Syfy has officially announced via press release that Akiva Goldsman (Lone Survivor, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Legend) and Mike De Luca (Captain Philips, Moneyball, The Social Network) are on as executive producers. The book itself will be adapted by Matthew Graham (creator of BBC’s Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes). And the pilot already has a director, Nick Hurran from Sherlock: His Last Vow and Doctor Who. And to that we say, “Hell yes.” We like all those people involved in the positions they have been assigned to.

OH YEAH. If you haven’t read the novel, you should. It’s a scifi gamechanger and just the absolute best. The story is about benevolent aliens who try to help the human race. It’s basically a peaceful alien invasion of Earth by those we dub “Overlords.” Their arrival marks the beginning of peace for humanity… but at what cost? Can’t wait!

Joan Rivers dies at age 81

Joan Rivers: In her own wordsComedian Joan Rivers died in a New York hospital Thursday afternoon, a week after suffering cardiac arrest during a medical procedure, her daughter said.

“She passed peacefully at 1:17 p.m. surrounded by family and close friends,” Melissa Rivers said in a written statement.

The funeral for Rivers will be at Temple Emanu-El in Manhattan on Sunday, according to temple spokeswoman Elizabeth Fezrine. Details, including the time and if the public will be allowed to attend, are not yet known, she said.

 Joan Rivers: In her own words

Rivers, 81, had been on life support at Manhattan’s Mount Sinai hospital, where she was taken after she stopped breathing at the Yorkville Endoscopy clinic last Thursday.

Rivers was undergoing an apparently minor elective procedure at the clinic when she suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest, according to the New York Fire Department.

Paramedics took her by ambulance to Mount Sinai Hospital, about a mile from the clinic, where she was initially listed in critical condition.

The outpatient clinic is now being investigated by the New York State Department of Health, spokesman James O’Hara said.

Her death also has triggered an investigation by the New York medical examiner’s office, its spokeswoman, Julie Bolcer, told CNN. “The cause and manner of death will be announced at some point,” she said.

The Rivers family made very little information about her medical condition public, finally confirming Tuesday that she was on life support.

“My son and I would like to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff of Mount Sinai Hospital for the amazing care they provided for my mother,” her daughter said. “Cooper and I have found ourselves humbled by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers we have received from around the world. They have been heard and appreciated.’

Melissa Rivers and her son Cooper have spent the past week by Rivers’ hospital bedside, rushing there last Thursday when they learned of her illness.

‘My mother’s greatest joy in life was to make people laugh,” Melissa Rivers said. “Although that is difficult to do right now, I know her final wish would be that we return to laughing soon.”

Yorkville Endoscopy’s website says it is an “ambulatory surgical center” that has been “approved by the Department of Health.” The description of its accreditations is blank.

“Yorkville Endoscopy is a state of the art facility, staffed by highly experienced endoscopists whose mission is to provide safe and compassionate care to patients and their families,” the website says.

The Tick Is Being Revived, With Patrick Warburton To Star

The Tick Is Being Revived, With Patrick Warburton To Star

The much-loved TV version of The Tick was axed by Fox in its first season, after just nine episodes. Now, it looks like the Big Blue Bug of Justice is back! According to People, the show is being revived by Amazon – and Patrick Warburton will star! And original creator Ben Edlund will write and produce! SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!

Via The Wrap, who received confirmation on the Amazon pilot from an individual with knowledge of the deal:

Warburton worked out a deal with Sony Television, who have held the rights since the show’s 2001 cancellation, to bring back the beloved character as an Amazon pilot. Amazon’s latest batch of pilots are currently available for free viewing on the streaming network. The company has established a tradition of producing its pilots and then offering them for free so viewers can watch and vote on them. Based in part on this feedback, the company then decides which shows to move forward with.

I am  not  crazy about the  live action show.  I liked the cartoon,  i  might  watch the  reboot to see where it  goes!  maybe i will like it better!  what are your thoughts on this  show?

The LEGO Movie Directors Are Rebooting The Greatest American Hero

The LEGO Movie Directors Are Rebooting The Greatest American Hero

Believe it or not, the classic superhero dramedy The Greatest American Hero may be coming back to television, and we’re thrilled to see who is on board. The Lego Movie directors and Clone High creators Phil Lord and Chris Miller are shepherding the reboot.

Deadline is reporting that Lord and Miller will be guiding and executive producing a new Greatest American Hero series for Fox. Here’s how Deadline describes this incarnation, which at this point sounds similar to the original:

Written/exec produced by Rodney Rothman and produced by 20th TV, the new Greatest American Hero will chronicle inner-city teacher Isaac’s adventures after his discovery of a superhero suit which gives him superhuman abilities. Unfortunately for Isaac, he hates wearing the suit, and has to learn how to use its powers by trial and error because he quickly misplaces the suit’s instructions. He also has to deal with a government handler who has very different objectives than him and struggles as to whether he should use his newfound gifts to help others or just himself.

would really love to see this  show remade.  i loved the show growing  and i know it would be  great with the way shows are made today!  what are your thoughts?

DONALD GLOVER Is Spider-Man/Miles Morales in Animated ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN

https://i2.wp.com/static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/53fec624e4b0675e1770e68f/1409205796327/maxresdefault.jpg?resize=415%2C235

Donald Glover was a controversial fanboy pick to play Spider-Man, with the role ultimately going to Andrew Garfield. One day we’ll get a Miles Morales centered Spider-Man movie. I’m guessing it’s after Sony realizes people don’t want yet another Spider-Man origin story with Peter Parker. Glover finally gets his chance at being Spider-Man in the animated Ultimate Spider-Man.

The cartoon Miles is very close to the comic-book version: The 13-year-old is still getting used to being a superhero when he meets the dimension-hopping Peter (Drake Bell), who’s trying to stop his old nemesis the Green Goblin from collecting the DNA of various Spider-Men — from Spider-Man Noir to the porcine hero Spider-Ham— for nefarious reasons.

It’s an emotional moment for Miles, though, because in his world, Peter is dead.

Underworld rebooted!

BUnderworld.jpgefore the Twilight franchise swept the box office, the Underworld series had a monopoly on the cinematic war between vampires and werewolves. Led by Kate Beckinsale, the original 2003 film spawned three sequels—and now it appears the series is getting rebooted.

As The Hollywood Reporter originally reported, the studio behind Underworld, Lakeshore Entertainment, has hired Cory Goodman to pen the reboot’s script. Goodman’s previous work includes the vampire-human war depicted in Priest, as well as the upcoming Vin Diesel film The Last Witch Hunter.

The last film in the series, Underworld: Awakening, debuted in 2012 and went on to become the franchise’s highest earner at the worldwide box office by a wide margin. But despite that recent success, Lakeshore should be sure to choose the reboot’s star wisely: The only Underworld film not to feature Beckinsale, 2009’s Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, finished its run as the worst-performing entry in the franchise.

Wow i cant beleive they want to reboot this  film so soon!  i am  shocked  but lets see where the  new series takes us!

Episode VII’ Resumes Production After Harrison Ford Injury

J.J. Abrams shows off X-Wing fighterAfter taking a hiatus for several weeks from filming, J.J. Abrams has resumed production on “Star Wars: Episode VII” in the U.K.

The break was taken for holiday in August when many Europeans take time off, and also allowed for Harrison Ford to recover from the broken leg he suffered while filming in May. In July, Disney released a statement saying that production would pause “while adjustments to the current production schedule are made.”

Ford was recently seen at the “The Expendables 3? premiere walking without any help and looked in good shape to get back to filming. He also did his own ALS ice bucket challenge, standing on his own in shorts without a cast or crutch.
