Pictures has acquired North American distribution rights to “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins,” putting the project on the fast track to begin production in early 2008 reports Variety.Halcyon is producing ‘Salvation’ which plans to reinvent James Cameron’s cyborg saga with a storyline to be told over the course of a trilogy set in the future. The producers said that the new film will carry the size and scale of “Terminator 3,” and will have an event-sized budget.
“T3” scribes John Brancato and Michael Ferris penned the screenplay, whilst a director is being finalised (McG is the odds-on favorite). The producers said it wasn’t yet clear whether Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back for his fourth appearance in the franchise, but they’ve left it open for him to do a cameo.
