04:00 - Terminator Series: Still happening
Thanks to Mac for the heads up.
You also mentioned a TV show, and that’s something that we’ve been very curious about. What is the status of a Terminator TV show, and what do you envision in terms of the story it might tell?
DAVID ELLISON: It’s something that we’re developing as we speak. To speak kind of larger to that, one of the things we would love to do at Skydance—it’s a very lofty goal—is to build worlds across multiple mediums. And to me, I think everyone talks in Hollywood about franchises, ‘it’s a franchise business, it’s a franchise business’. I think that’s a slightly old-fashioned word, and I think it’s a world creation business. The dream for us would be to be able to obviously make films, television shows, we have a video game with Glu, comic books, and they all should be standalone experiences. If you just watch the movies or if you just watch a television show, it’s a complete experience. But if you are the kind of fans that we are over this material, and you watch all of it collectively, it all interweaves to feel like a larger universe that you can experience if you’re a huge fan of Terminator or any of the other franchises that we’re fortunate to work on, that’s really when you talk about the future of Skydance, one of the things that we really want to be a part of building.
When this was first reported, the Terminator thing, it was said that it was going to somehow directly tie into this movie in some way.
ELLISON: A little premature to be able to say, but I will say anything we do along those lines, it will absolutely have connective tissue. It would be a mistake and a little old-fashioned to have a television show and a movie, both based on something that actually don’t cross over in any way, shape, or form.
DANA GOLDBERG: So we’re working on it, to answer your question

03:45 - Three Days of the Condor - Revival planned
Thanks to Mac for the heads up.
When you were talking about TV, I was really interested in Three Days of the Condor, being a 70s film fanatic. Was it the story which attracted you to that to make that into a series?
DANA GOLDBERG: Yeah, I mean we started talking about the idea of Condor in general, and for all of the CIA thriller type movies that have been made, that just that word, you say Condor, and everybody immediately knows what you’re talking about. You don’t even have to say Three Days of. When you say Condor people go ‘oh, that was great’. And we just thought it’s a great title and the inherent setup of that movie would be so great for a television show in this day and age, when between technology and the lack of privacy and the international landscape of what goes on, how rich is that gonna be? We hired Jason Smilovic, who is an incredible writer, and he’s worked hand in hand with Marcy Ross, who runs our television division, and has created a script and bible that we think is just incredible.
DAVID ELLISON: Just to add to that, one of the things that I love and Jason talks about it a lot, is the original Condor very much predicted what happened…the original movie ends with the prediction of the war in the Middle East over oil, and there are writers like Tom Clancy who when you read his books you always felt like you were getting a peek behind the curtain as to what was going to happen next. That doesn’t really exist today, so one of the things we very much hope that Condor is able to do is very much be the Condor for this generation and very much be predictive in regards to what’s going to be happening with future events.

Significant Mother-I'm so watching this :)
ReplyDeleteThe Dark Matter summaries sound great. I thought there could be someone alive behind that door. Can't wait to see the eps.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like my new guilty pleasure! :)
ReplyDeleteDark Matter sounds great. Especially episodes 6 and 7.
ReplyDeleteDark Matter episode synopses sound great. And I am really looking froward to seeing what a "sunny" android is.
ReplyDeleteThe poster convinced me. I just hope the best friend/mom's bf (I always forget his name) is that naked all the time.
ReplyDeleteNews of a Terminator series just makes me miss TSCC. I'm not even that fond of the franchise or story, it's all kinda meh but I *loved* TSCC.
ReplyDeleteHaven't watched beyond the pilot of Dark Matter yet, sounds like the show will get even more interesting, gotta move that show up on my to-do list.
Nathaniel Buzolic.Apparently the show creator has said he is shirtless almost of the time for 9 episodes.LOL!
ReplyDeleteFinally some actual answers in Dark Matter.
ReplyDeleteI'm starting to think Significant Mother might be a better than it looks... maaaaaaybe... or at last have some genuine funny potential...
Re Terminator series: I dunno what the plan is there and I don't really care, because I'm still mourning T:TSCC...
Quite looking forward to The Brink. It's not the type of comedy I was expecting, but I have been enjoying it so far...
