not bad lopli but it's unlikely... the live-action franchise does seem dead and this animated movie might just be a spin-off

Maybe the news about the $70 million computer-animated film was premature because now Deadline is reporting that Pacificor, the company that owns the rights to the Terminator franchise have sent a cease and desist letter to Hannover House following the announcement earlier today. Hannover House CEO Eric Parkinson, former head of the Home Video division of Hemdale, who made the original Terminator, claims that he owns the animation rights to the property which weren't included in the sale to Carolco. www.deadline.com/2010/08/terminator-rights-holder-sends-cease-and-desist-letter-to-kill-proposed-3d-animated-feature/

You know what's funny is that if the machines didn't send a Terminator back in time to begin with, John Connor never would have been born at all.

I made a post about that if you care to read oh and another thing... the series could have never ended in 2 if judgement day never happened then there would have been no kyle reese to go back in time to fuck sarah connor, thus john connor would have never existed and would give no reason for skynet to travel back in time to kill him. and if judgment day were stopped then there would also be no terminator in the first place to go back in time to kill sarah connor and if there is no terminator then the humans would have never found the tecnology to create skynet in the first place thus giving sarah connor back her crappy life so if john connor still existed after "stopping" judgement day... then judgment day was in fact inevetable ______ And this is why time travel is a bitch and too confusing to add in movies of other stories, 'cause it's just too hard to think through and so impossible to EVER exist

A Pacificor spokesman has shared the cease and desist letter with Deadline: HILL & TRAGER, LLP Attorneys At Law
August 13, 2010
Fred Shefte, President Eric Parkinson, CEO Target Development Group, Inc. Susannah Patton, Director 1428 Chester Street Hanover House Springdale, AR 72764 1428 Chester Street Springdale, AR 72764
Eric Parkinson, President and CEO Truman Press, Inc. 1722 North College Street Suite C-303 Fayetteville, AR 72703
Re: Pacificor, LLC (“Pacificor”)
Dear Messrs. Parkinson and Shefte and Ms. Patton:
We are counsel for Pacificor, LLC (“Pacificor”). We believe you are aware that pursuant to an order entered on March 3, 2010 in In re: T Asset Acquistion Company, LLC, et. al, United States Bankruptcy Court, Central District of California, Los Angeles Division, Case No. 2009-31853-ER, Pacificor acquired assets relating to the Terminator Motion Picture Franchise, including, but not limited to, rights to sequels, remakes, all mechanizing and other derivative rights related to sequels and remakes, and other assets, collectively defined as the “Granted Terminator Assets” in said order.
We recently became aware through various online media reports that Hannover House, purportedly a division of Target Development Group, Inc. (“TDGI”), entered into a purported feature film development venture with a Vancouver based entity, Red Bear Entertainment, for “Teminator 3000” an animated feature film based upon the characters introduced in the original Terminator movie.
This knowledge came as a surprise to Pacificor. It did not license or authorize any such development or film. Indeed, it has not been contacted by Hannover House, TDGI, Red Bear Entertainment or anyone else seeking such a license or approval.
While some of the reports we have seen mention that Pacificor “retains approval and licencing authority...” over the proposed project, a reasonable inference drawn from the reports is that such approval has been obtained. Otherwise, why would the “development deal” have been entered into in the first place and why would the reports mention a proposed January 2011 start date for production?
Please be advised that the suggestion that Hannover House, TDGI, Red Bear Entertainment or any other entity is, has, or will be developing, producing, marketing or in any other way utilizing characters and situations which are part of the Terminator Franchise infringes upon and interferes with Pacificor’s ownership rights. To illustrate, the suggestion that Hannover House, TDGI and/or Red Bear Entertainment will be developing a feature film, animated or not, directly interferes with Pacificor’s right to capitalize on its assets in the manner it deems in its best interests. This public pronouncement could impact Pacificor’s ability to attract and negotiate with development partners of its own choosing.
The purported development deal, among other things, violates the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101, et. seq., constitutes trademark interference and can result in civil penalties. Accordingly, we demand that Hannover House, TDGI and/or Red Bear Entertainment: (1) immediately issue a retraction clearly indicating that Pacificor had no knowledge of the development venture and that its approval has not been sought nor obtained; (2) stop issuing press releases mentioning the purported development venture and the Terminator Franchise unless and until approval for such a venture is obtained from Pacificor; (3) notify this office in writing not later than five days after your receipt of this letter of your compliance with these demands.
This letter does not purport to be a complete statement of the facts of the law and is without prejudice to any of Pacificor’s legal and equitable rights.
Very truly yours,
HILL & TRAGER, LLP
Timothy J. Trager
