Paramount has confirmed the long in the works deal to co finance and distribute the reboot of James Cameron’s Terminator franchise creation. Highbrow picture maker Megan Ellison spent over $20 million for the rights in 2011, and the project didn't go very far. Things finally started percolating when Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures joined forces with brother David Ellison, whose Skydance Productions has a deal with Paramount and makes popcorn movies. Avatar’s Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier have been working on the script for months. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the title character and the hope is to get at least two movies done before North American copyright reverts back to Cameron, who might want a fortune or might want to retire the franchise. Here’s the announcement: Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted “ TERMINATOR ” movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26

Sarah Green and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones are producing with Nichols, who’s also writing the project. WB had previously acquired the script before setting Nichols to direct. Exact plot details are being kept under wraps but sources have described it as a present-day sci-fi chase film. Glen Basner and Christos V. Konstantakopoulos will exec produce. The news made headlines last month when the studio picked up the project, given that it was the first major studio movie for Nichols after the success of indies “Take Shelter” and “Mud.” Edgerton’s commitment gives the project even more heft, and it looks on track to start production early next year. Edgerton is currently shooting “Jane Got a Gun” and is also attached to the Whitey Bul

White House Down Review By: MattInRC Does the second White House invasion flick this year demonstrate its necessity, or should Hollywood stop sleeping with itself? Read more to find out. Hollywood is in the business of making entertainment that sometimes finds itself in bed with mirror images of itself. Think Tombstone and Wyatt Earp , both featuring the famous Texas lawman and released in 1993, or 1998's Deep Impact and Armaggedon , neither of which was worth the time. Apparently, Hollywood didn't think we had experienced enough White House invasion films in 2013 with Olympus Has Fallen , as another one in White House Down is about to be released. Unfortunately, one was definitely enough. Low-man on the Capitol Police totem pole John Cale ( Channing Tatum , GI Joe: Rise of Cobra) visits the White House to interview for a job as a Secret Service agent, only to be rebuffed by Agent Finnerty ( Maggie Gyllenhaal , The Dark Knight) for being too working class.
