Yes! I've been looking for a new Volvo SUV.
We have a great family car/Suv for sale! It is a 2006 XC90 black interior and exterior.
The car will need a new title and registration. No accidents or salvage title. Looking for $4-$4,500 OBO.

Reboot and conclusion? Fucking hype. Not sure about tim miller but if Cameron heavily supervises this movie it could be great

Sounds like Cameron was waiting all these years to get the rights back and just end it well once and for all

EXCLUSIVE: He'll be back! James Cameron, who regains certain rights to his prized creation The Terminator in 2019, is godfathering a new iteration of the film that might finally get it right in drawing a close in the battle between humans and Skynet. Sources said that Cameron, whose copyright reversion happens 35 years after the release of the 1984 classic, is in early talks with Deadpool director and VFX wiz Tim Miller to direct a reboot and conclusion of one of cinema's great science fiction tales. David Ellison, whose Skydance co-financed Terminator Genisys, is bankrolling an exploratory effort that includes engaging some top-flight science fiction authors to find the movie creatively. Ellison still holds many Terminator rights, after his 2013 acquisition from sister and Annapurna principal Megan Ellison. She bought them in 2011 at Cannes for $20 million.

This is the latest development in an ongoing saga. Indeed, The Terminator might have endured the craziest road of any billion dollar movie franchise, going back to when Cameron — who only had Piranha 2 under his belt as director — sold the rights to his scripted project for $1 to producer Gale Ann Hurd, with the stipulation he could not be fired as director. The result was a 1984 sci-fi classic, that launched his star and that of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Cameron came back and topped himself to write and direct he blockbuster Terminator 2: Judgment Day, but he washed his hands of the property after that. He mentioned to producers Mario Kassar and Andy Vajna his plans to buy the rights back from Carolco bankruptcy. They beat him to the punch, figuring he would still participate, but Cameron responded by walking away. He didn't participate in the three films that followed, or the TV show The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The rights ended up with Pacificor, which paid $29.5 million, and Megan Ellison bought them after that company floundered. Cameron has had zero involvement since then, and has largely been silent. The exception was on the last picture, Terminator Genisys. Perhaps because his old buddy and True Lies star Schwarzenegger had returned as the title character, Cameron was generous in his assessment, reportedly saying that the Alan Taylor-directed film had reinvigorated and created a renaissance for the franchise.

That's actually insane though if it works out

Please no Arnold though. I hate this shit where the people making these movies seem to think the important parts to include are "come with me if you want to live" and "I'll be back"

Would love to see a movie get back to Terminator 1 style. Stripped down, raw cyberpunk shit

I actually really enjoyed Genisys and didn't hate 3 and Salvation. I do think that they should ditch Arnold for good though it's time to end that.

Just let it go.

did you mean "terminal ants"


OH MY GOD
* drop of water *
THESE ANTS
* dramatic slow-mo ant *
THEY BE DYING!
*leaf flipping over*

in like, six weeks, because they're ants. They don't live long.


Also, 'yay?'. I really don't think I want another Terminator at this point, but I guess at least Cameron would try to update his own franchise, or just end it.
