Got a Few Million Bucks? Buy the Terminator Rights!
/Film —
... Nikki Finke reports that every big Hollywood studio is interested in the purchase, as are Summit and Media Rights Capital. Sony has the greatest interest, she says, as the auction is prepped for later this month. The package to be sold is fairly complete, as it includes the rights to “new Terminator films, TV program and other spin-offs.” (Video games? One would assume so, and perhaps this sale will lead to the eventual release of a decent licensed Terminator game.) ...
Terminator Franchise Up at Auction This Month
The Terminator / Sarah Connor Chronicles TV Series News, Reviews, Episode Guide and Forum —
... readers asking why I don’t post as much anymore. The answer is pretty simple: there isn’t a whole lot to post about. There haven’t been any news about The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or any movement on another sequel to the “Terminator” franchise, and what news there is are of the dull, industry bullshit variety, which is, well, dull and bullshit-y. But here’s something that will impact the franchise mightily: rights to the franchise are going up for auction later this month. This from DeadlineHollywoodDaily : All the big studios, with Sony leading the way, as well as Summit ...

http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/rights-to-terminator-franchise-for-sale/ From a Very Important Hollywood Mogul Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,
I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized 'cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I ...
The Terminator Is Up For Auction
UGO.com - Movies Feed —
[image] According to Nikki Finke the rights to the Terminator franchise will be up for auction next month. Even though Terminator Salvation left a lackluster taste in many movie lovers' mouths this summer ( not me ), it did make $380 million worldwide. According to the report, all of the big studios are licking their chops. The intillectual property certainly has loads of potential - especially since there's never been a decent game for the 360 or PS3. While we could get into a load of hypotheticals as to who should get the rights (get it ...
Film: Newswire:Joss Whedon in negotiations to take over the Terminator franchise. Sort of.
A.V. Club —
News broke today that the rights to the Terminator franchise are now up for sale. And it looks like there's now a frontrunner in the ensuing bidding war: None other than Joss Whedon who, in an open letter, has put up an offer of $10,000 ("That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one") to take control of the series. He even has plans already. To wit:
Terminator... of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far... back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh ... ...

That's right-- for just a cool few million, you can make all the "Come with me if you want to live" jokes you want, put them on YouTube, and no one will sue you . Or, you know, you could hire a real director to make another Terminator movie, bring back Sam Worthington and Anton Yelchin and ditch the rest of the Terminator: Salvation cast, and find another $400 million worldwide. The choice is yours! Nikki Finke reported the news that the rights are for sale, and also printed a hilarious ...
“Terminator” Franchise Rights To Be Auctioned–And Joss Whedon Is In!
At The Movies - Film News and Reviews —
... “Terminator Salvation” sure felt like a failure here, a movie hated by critics and fans which faded into the dust as “Star Trek,” the “Transformers” sequel, the “Harry Potter” installment, and even “The Hangover” dominated the summer box office. But Nikki Finke, in Deadline Hollywood Daily notes that the film ended up making $380 million worldwide, so there’s still some value left in the “Terminator” name. ...
JOSS WHEDON OFFERS TO BUY TERMINATOR
FilmDrunk: Movie news you can make fun of —
As happens surprisingly often, Joss Whedon did something today, and the internet sh-t its collective pants. As I first reported last month, Halcyon is auctioning off the rights to the Terminator franchise later this month. On his blog, Joss Whedon, the man behind Dollhouse and Serenity and Buffy and Firefly, made an allegedly comedic pitch for it. Here’s the letter, since everyone seems to care. Go ahead and add this to the growing list of things Joss Whedon did that I ...

Just another sane day/weekend in movieland…
* Halcyon the somewhat odd firm with an all but empty website has officially put its one and only asset and reason for being, the rights to “The Terminator” franchise, on the auction block. So reports Variety and Nikki Finke. Suddenly, over at Whedonesque — yes, the Joss Whedon fansite where the beloved cult TV and occasional film creator occasionally posts — Whedon links to it and posts a very serious offer. So serious, in fact, that Finke ...
For Sale: The “Terminator” Rights
The Movie Banter —
... Nikkie Finke says that every major Hollywood movie studio is interested, including Summit and Media Rights Capital. Either would both probably be good homes for the franchise since both are relatively new production companies. However she says that Sony (who quite frankly hasn’t had a decent hit since Paul Blart: Mall Cop, since Michael Jackson’s This Is It did poorly this weekend domestically) will probably be the highest bidder when the auction opens later this month. ...

Oh No They Didn't! —
... like to shepherd it through the next phase. The money is there, but more importantly, the heart is there. But more importantly, money. Think about it. End this bloody bidding war before it begins, and put the Terminator in the hands of someone who watched the first one more than any other movie in college, including "Song of Norway" (no current franchise offer). Sincerely, Joss Whedon. LOL, i wish this would happen... SOURCE: A B C

The company that currently holds the rights to all future Terminator projects - including movies, TV and games - has to sell them because they’re so in debt.

Joss Whedon Writes A Mean Open Letter
Crabbie's Hollywood —
The owners of the rights to The Terminator have expressed their desire to sell that particular franchise (it was probably worth more before Terminator: Salvation came along). And lo and behold, they already have one prospective bidder: geek-auteur Joss Whedon, who expressed his interest in purchasing the moribund film property via an amusing open letter which I will now reprint: An Open Letter to the Terminator Owners. From a Very Important Hollywood Mogul ...
