Terminator Rights Be Damned! McG Promises Salvation Sequels

Sometimes I feel bad for all the shit McG gets from everyone...and then he opens his mouth.

The director recently participated in a live commentary/chat session for Terminator: Salvation. If you had a BD-Live capable Blu-Ray player and nothing to do Saturday night, you too could throw retarded questions like insulting his Charlie's Angels movies. Some losers actually did that.

Gizmodo transcribed the event and, low and behold, McG confessed that he was going to direct a sequel to Salvation. And then another installment after that! Remember, this was meant to be the start of a new Terminator trilogy and he'd already inked a new deal to return late last year. Problem is there are currently no plans for any more films as the franchise rights are up in the air. Halcyon (the company who produced the last one) have been in the financial shitter after Salvation under-performed leaving them in debt. Who ends up controlling the future of John Connor remains to be seen.

So what the fuck McG is talking about is beyond anyone's guess. What makes this development all the more interesting is a tid-bit from our pal Clint Morris of Movie Hole a few days prior to this "revelation." According to his sources, the next Terminator movie (whenever it ends up getting made) will not be a continuation of Salvation and there by not feature Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin or Bryce Dallas Howard.

Now who should we believe here? The director whose had a reputation for flat-out making shit up to look cool or a movie-news webmaster who doesn't? Thought so. This also confirms what I told you folks would happen right after Salvation fizzled last May in my What Now for the Terminator Franchise article.

McG must have not received the memo. What's next? Bryan Singer is directing a Superman Sequel?
