A bright future for ”Dark Fates”
The owners of the rights to high-profile Hollywood franchises are so drugged with greed that they are simply unable to analyze the mistakes of their colleagues and predecessors. Today our readers will experience a daunting sense of deja vu: the creators of the next reboot of Terminator have announced plans to create a trilogy.Many moviegoers rightly believe that the franchise should have ended back in 1991, when the movie "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" put a brilliant end to the story of the war of people and machines. Unfortunately for fans of the original dilogy, Terminator creator James Cameron had to sell the rights to the series for a nominal $ 1 to direct the first film. This led to the fact that in 2003 the audience received a completely unnecessary sequel to "Doomsday" - "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines". A full reboot of the franchise followed a few years later. Warner Bros. studio executives and Columbia Pictures hoped that Terminator: May the Savior Come would launch a new trilogy, but the blockbuster earned only 33% of positive reviews and was unable to recoup its $ 200 million budget. Two years later, the rights to the film series passed to Skydance Productions, which staged another reboot. In 2015, the movie Terminator: Genisys was released, which was supposed to start another trilogy. The action movie reached the level of formal self-sufficiency, but failed to impress critics. As a result, the producers had to give up filming the sequel and triquel.  A couple of years ago, it became known that Skydance will continue to squeeze the last juice out of the franchise. The idea for Terminator: Dark Fate looked good. The copyright holders have finally recruited James Cameron to work on the film, albeit as a creative consultant. In the director's chair of the blockbuster is the director of "Deadpool" Tim Miller, who got at the disposal of several old-timers of the film series at once - Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong. The information that the film would be a direct sequel to “Doomsday” was also in a positive mood, but the first official promotional materials of “Dark Fates” tempered the audience's delight. The trailers and stills of the action movie give the impression that instead of the gloomy atmosphere and rather realistic action of Cameron's dilogy, viewers will receive another high-budget, but a soulless mess of special effects.  Now another worrying piece of news has come from Hollywood. James Cameron let slip that Skydance shot the tape with an eye on the trilogy. Apparently, the company's management has no doubts about the success of Dark Fates. "The film's writing team spent several weeks working on the story," Cameron said. -The collected material is enough for three pictures. If Miller's tape earns enough money, we will have somewhere to develop the plot in the next parts of the franchise”. It seems that viewers can part with their dreams that the new "Terminator" will become a worthy successor to "Doomsday" and finally complete the legendary movie saga. As for the Skydance bosses, they didn't seem to be taught anything by the Genesis situation when they started making plans for the future even before the movie was released.  The USA premiere of Terminator: Dark Fate will take place on October 31. Source: Deadline The Topic of Article: A bright future for ”Dark Fates”. |
