The Terminator: Sarah Conner Chronicles Review

Despite the critical pounding that "Terminator Salvation" took, and less than spectacular box office, it's possible that The Halycon Company is invested enough in the movie franchise that they'll make a sequel anyway, although to be honest that will probably depend on DVD sales for the film. Overall, "Terminator Salvation" has not been a runaway hit, and once you factor in production and advertising cost, it's a minor success at best, but it's hard to justify another major movie sequel (with the mega budget of one) from that. Lanie Grace apparently has information to the contrary, and whose to say she's wrong.

She also mentions that besides the direct-to-DVD continuation of TSCC, the show's producer and showrunner Josh Friedman will not have anything to do with the movie. I find that a bit perplexing, and would the castmembers really return without Friedman?

Grace claims the cast are obligated to return "due to contract clauses". Um, no, not really. You can't make an actor drop everything and come back to shoot a movie if he or she doesn't want to, especially after the show has been canceled. I doubt there is a clause that says, "Even if we cancel your show, you are still obligated to be at our beck and call forever!" That sounds more like slavery than a work contract.

But hey, I don't have any inside information to contradict what she says, so she could be 100% correct for all we know. And truth be told, I'm hoping she's right, because let's face it, the show's fate left a lot of bad tastes in people's mouths, and a direct-to-DVD continuation of Season 2 would be pretty damn cool.

I'm just not holding my breath, that's all.
