'Terminator' Producers Accuse Hedge Fund Of Extortion, Bribery, Fraud In Lawsuit
So in other words, they’ll be back?
And to complete the circle of life, what does this mean for MGM, who (I believe) still has a first-refusal clause on any further TERMINATOR properties?
Isn’t this the second company that owned terminator to go bankrupt? Carolco was first, no? Is there anymore?
What did I say?
Reboot of a franchise reboot incoming.
Mark my words.
TOTALLY HILARIOUS!
Not only did these jagoffs ruin the Terminator, they stiffed the Terminator.
Among the people they did not pay (listed as creditors in an article in today’s LA Times) are Christian Bale, McG and you guessed it, Arnold himself.
And here’s the kicker they also owe money to MGM, and even the lawyers who are suing Pacificor for them.
What are the odds that MGM is going to let deadbeats move past that first look thing where they can take the franchise back? When they are suing their investors and not paying their bills, even to MGM?
They’ll be back…not!
