According to Variety, Sony is looking to outbid Lionsgate on the rights to the Terminator franchise later today. The rights are a steal at their current starting price of $15 million dollars, and there's a big part of me that wishes James Cameron would just come out of left field with a bag full of Avatar coin and buy back the series that he created. I don't think that's going to happen, but there are certainly worse ways the man could spend $15 mill.
Personally, I'd rather see Terminator at Sony than Lionsgate, strictly because Sony has better experience in franchise-handling. Compare James Bond and Spider-Man to Transporter and The Punisher. No contest, really. If either company get their hands on the rights, you can expect another Terminator movie soon, but where could the series possibly go after Terminator Salvation? They seem to have painted themselves into a creative corner. Are there more Terminator stories left to tell?
What would you do with the series if you won the rights to the Terminator? Check out our poll below ...

I dont think new owners will continue with T-4 story or McG.
I mainly hope this leads to TSCC coming back to tv on a cable channel.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles is the best way to continue the franchise.

this poll is pointless, TSCC is going to win

Bring the show back. The last two movies were garbage.

Bring back TSCC!

Bring us back The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Summer Glau!!
The fans deserves to have answers to the many questions that this intelligent show is asking.

We need Terminator:the Sarah Connor Chronicles back on TV. It was quite simply the biggest reason to turn on the TV. TSCC had a HUGE international following, but that counts for nothing in the US, it's a damn shame, a damn waste.
T3 was a lolfest.
T4 was a cringefest.
T5 should be set before T3 and start a new timeline. A timeline with Cameron in it :)

Bring 'The Sarah Connor Chronicles' back to TV. Definitely.
john henryat 2-15-2010
I want TSCC season 3! And seven more seasons after that. :)
This story is best told in a TV series than several movies.

TSCC is the BEST BET FOR ANYTHING INVOLVING TERMINATOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BRING BACK THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES!!!
Oljaat 2-16-2010
Show=back!:)
Willat 2-16-2010
Bring back tscc, or a feature film with Josh Friedman at the helm, and a TSCC story line.
May19at 2-18-2010
Keep my finger crossed for TSCC season 3, and we need Cameron lead this time. So TCPC is the best solution!!!!!!!

Oh god, what sort of poll is this. Bring back the freaking TV show! Season 2 ended on a major cliffhanger.
