Recently, billionaire heiress and film maker of Annapurna Films, Megan Ellis, obtained the rights to the Terminator franchise. Ellison will be the person in charge of making a fifth Terminator film and any other potential Terminator films (sequels, etc.) Ellison has the money and the rights, so what is stopping her from making a Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles film or possibly continuing the popular television series? Since the television show was terminated before its time, leaving fans without any closure to the story, fans have desperately been trying to get the show back. http://www.savethescc.com/ is a site where fans from all around the world have come together to fight for the show. Other fan sites have joined the “resistance” as well. There is also a convention for the show where fans can rally and show their love for the show that will take place next year. The convention is called “No Fate Con,” named after Sarah Connor’s famous motto from the show. Visit http://www.nofatecon.com/ for details.To pay respects to the devoted fans and the vitality that they have given the Terminator franchise over the years, it is only right that Ellis ties up loose ends before starting her own chapter in the franchise. A Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles film would be perfect for that. It doesn’t even have to be a huge production. The devoted fans would be pleased with a ‘straight to DVD’ film, if that’s what it takes.
*CORRECTION: Pacificor has the rights to the franchise and would be responsible for a TSCC movie. Ellis has permission to do T5, but I don’t see why permission can’t be granted to do a TSCC movie.
