For anyone who doesn’t want their memories of James Cameron’s much-loved violent and edgy 1984 sci-fi classic sullied forever, please don’t read on.
Comingsoon are reporting that a US production company are seeking the rights to allow them to develop a CG 3D animated movie, featuring Sarah Connor, Kyle Reese and the Arnie Terminator.
To make matter worse, the report claims the companies have sent out a press release which states they’re aiming for a PG-13 rating, and violence will be kept down to a minimal. Oh dear!
I know McG’s take on the Terminator mythology didn’t do the franchise any favours, but this sounds like a truly horrendous idea and one which is sure to turn fans away as opposed to winning them back!
It’s not the first time a promising first feature (and sequel in this case) has given way to a case of diminishing returns and kid-friendly content (hello Robocop!) but you would have thought the lessons had been learned from examples like this.
Sadly it seems nothing is sacred as long as Hollywood can keep pulling at the teats of these popular cash cows.
