T4 through T6 rather fact then fiction

With news sites and rumours being flung upon the web, inconcistancies are prone to happen. A new company is formed and
a Terminator 4 movie is slated to be produced. Sites and newspapers around the globe informed about a new trilogy, yet
others informed this all to be bogus. Fans around the globe have had their own idea about the continuation of the saga
and direct to sources online that say Terminator 4 is the only movie to progress the franchise.
Even TerminatorFiles, though detailed as it may be, has been under the impression that lots of news sources contradicted
eachother when releasing news on T4 and/or T4 being part of an all new trilogy. To once and for all get rid of any
miss-conceptions, here's an official company press release that has just launched on The Halcyon Company website,
highlighting some of the trilogy facts, rather then the (till now) over-exposed fiction.
The Halcyon Company Acquires Terminator Franchise
Film company plans immediate pre-production for Terminator 4 as first film in a new Terminator Trilogy.
Los Angeles - May 9, 2007 - The Halcyon Company announced today the acquisition of all the Terminator franchise rights.
These rights include the right to produce any future Terminator films, as well as all future merchandising and
licensing rights, certain future revenues derived from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, as well as certain rights
in the television project The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the sole right to produce all future Terminator projects in
any new or existing media.
The Halcyon Company is a recently formed, privately financed, film development, production and financing company, headed
by co-CEOs Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek. "The Terminator franchise represents by far the most popular and successful
franchise not owned by a major studio" stated Mr. Kubicek and Mr. Anderson. "While we have several other projects in the
works, we see this global franchise as a cornerstone of Halcyon's future business plans."
Terminator 4 will be based on a script by John Brancato and Michael Ferris and is envisioned to be the first film in
a new Terminator trilogy. Halcyon plans to immediately begin pre-production on the new film. While as yet no
distribution agreement has been set, Halcyon anticipates that T4 will be ready for release in the first half of 2009, if
not earlier.
Moritz Borman, the Executive Producer of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines as well as the then-CEO of Intermedia Films
(the co-production financial partner for T3), is slated to produce the new Terminator 4 film as well as being an integral
member of the branding and licensing team. Kubicek and Anderson will co-produce.
Mortiz Borman stated, "With T3, we included many incidental details and plot points that, along with the main narrative,
set the stage for an entirely new set of inter-related stories covering the future adventures of John Conner and
the Terminators. This new Terminator trilogy will build upon the already huge worldwide Terminator fan base, which
was both revitalized and expanded with the global success of T3."

Kubicek and Anderson stated, "We also plan to maximize the potential of the Terminator franchise by entering into strategic
relationships with world class merchandising and licensing partners. By quickly pursuing and finalizing these new
opportunities, we are confident that all of these ventures can be completed in time to fully maximize their value by
coinciding with the first of the new Terminator's release."
Anderson and Kubicek continued, "In addition to Moritz Borman, Peter D. Graves, who will be an Executive Producer on the
film, was an integral part of the acquisition team. He will also continue to provide executive consulting services to The
Halcyon Company as well as spearhead all aspects of the Terminator marketing program. Alan Schwartz, Randy Paul and Vincent
Chieffo of Greenberg Traurig represented Halcyon in the transaction and were critical to its successful completion. Alan
Schwartz and the Greenberg Traurig firm will continue to provide ongoing legal counsel to The Halcyon Company."
The most recent film of the multi-billion dollar Terminator franchise, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, was released
domestically by Warner Bros. Pictures and internationally (excluding Japan and Korea) by Sony Pictures. This film generated
over $430 million in worldwide box office, breaking numerous box office records around the world and making it one of the
industry's all-time top grossing films. The film has gone on to even greater success in its ancillary markets worldwide.
The Halcyon Company is a recently established, privately funded, independent film development, production and financing
company founded by Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. Anderson and Kubicek plan to produce a portion of Halcyon's future
output with the balance of the company's pipeline expected to be produced in conjunction with other established producers
and production entities in the industry.
Kubicek and Anderson both come from financial and creative backgrounds. Prior to co-founding Halcyon, Anderson was the founder
and creative director of In the Mix, a boutique marketing and advertising agency. Kubicek began his career in finance as a
member of The American Stock Exchange and produced The Halcyon Company's first feature film Cook-Off!, which recently won an
HBO Aspen Comedy Festival award.
Moritz Borman has produced over twenty films, most recently including Oliver Stone's World Trade Center and Alexander. Until
2005 he was Chairman and CEO of Intermedia Films, which he took public in 2000.
Peter D. Graves is one of the top industry marketing consultants. Formerly President of Marketing for PolyGram Films, Graves
has been directly responsible for or consulted on the marketing and release of over 200 titles including Terminator 3; The
Perfect Storm; Braveheart; Fargo; The Score; Elizabeth; The Game; Dead Man Walking; The Usual Suspects; and Four Weddings
and a Funeral.
