Terminator 4 may hit 2009 release, will face heavy competition if true.

Terminator!

As some of you may know, The Halcyon Company bought the rights to the Terminator franchise last year, making them lord of machines and eventually, a Terminator 4 was announced. What’s more, 4 will be part of an entirely new trilogy of Terminator movies, sans Arnold. 🙁

We’ve got some fresh news that the movie will be geared for a 2009 release. While it’s good to know that the movie is still serious, what is really making me jump is that 2009 will end up being one hell of a year. As we brought you news, Transformers 2 is coming out then, as is the film adaptation of Watchmen (which is being made by the 300 crew)! And there have to be even more awesome movies coming out then that I do not know or remember right now!

No title has been supplied yet, though it has been confirmed that it won’t be called “Terminator 4”. There will be subtitle after the Terminator label. Now, you just needed to know that, didn’t you? We’ll see how the movie shapes out to be, though I sense a dark, dark future without the awesomeness of Ahnold.

We’re editing the new podcast of the Halo 3 launch at Universal Citywalk. Stay tuned for further updates later today. I hope that it can be released sometime in the late afternoon period, but I’m tired so I might take a nap instead.

This episode actually features something brand-new to the podcast. I won’t say what it is, but if you’ve seen any of our previous podcasts you’ll definitely notice the difference.

Also I’d like to take this time to thank everyone that submitted photos and videos to the Halo 3 Coverage show!

After being kicked out of the my college’s library during a fire drill, I’m back! As I was saying – if you have pictures or videos of your Halo 3 launch experience send them over to Halo@splashcast.net

Transformers 2 coming in Summer 2009, Michael Bay confused

[UPDATE: Click here for the The Super Bowl Transformers 2 Trailer]

Transformers!

First off, it’s now official that Transformers 2 is hitting cinemas on June 29th 2009. That’s right, no Optimus Prime for you next year. The actual deal came early on with Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay, who decided on a sequel to this year’s hit Transformers. However, (fortunately or not) Bay appears to be preoccupied and may direct the film adaptation of 2012: The War for the Souls, and maybe the Prince of Persia movie. Wait, whah? Let’s clarify.

See, Michael Bay first confirms that he’s making a sequel for Transformers. Then news breaks out that he’ll also be handling Disney’s Prince of Persia, the movie. However, things are starting to look rather confusing now.

Bay now says that he may go for a pre-strike film. This unlucky movie can only turn out to be:

  • the film adaptation of Whitley Streiber’s 2012: The War for the Souls
  • the Prince of Persia movie (which is listed as a pre-strike movie, but now looks more like it’s geared for Summer 2009).
  • a home video. (Can’t trust a director who blogs. On the Internet.)

What choice will Bay choose? Why does it matter to us? How cheesy will the second Transformers be? Is this movie actually going to make some logical sense? Should Uwe Boll direct Prince of Persia? It appears that we must leave it to time to answer the questions now.

Latest ad from Halo 3’s “Believe” campaign

Add The Pipeline: Entertainment Within a Box to your page

Halo 3’s release date is teetering closer and closer! There is no doubt that September 25th will be a day to be remembered for us gamers!

Continuing in the line of extravagant advertisements for Halo 3, we have the latest (and perhaps the last?) ad from the “Believe” campaign of ads. This one also takes place in the weird humanity museum and we see two war veterans talk about the weapons they used. Both seem eccentrically uneasy, though. One of them almost has a tear in his eye as he mentions (the sacrifice of?) ‘Chief.

Stay tuned, Xbox 360 owners! It’s just the day after tomorrow now!
