Termination
Anime News Network reveals here that, in a chat about "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles," producer James Middleton let slip some details about "Termination," an animated extension the Terminator franchise scheduled for release in 2009. The show will be like "The Animatrix," using different animated short films that are set in the Terminator universe, although Middleton says the contributors will come from Japan and Europe and the shorts " will have a much more international flair."
Justice League of America
IESB is saying here that Warner Brothers.' "Justice League of America" project, despite all the pre-production work that is already done at Fox Studios in Australia preparing for filming to start early this year, may all come crashing down. Their source said: "Justice League is indeed in danger of not starting production on time, and maybe even getting scrapped altogether. The concerns are that the script is not ready to go in front of cameras, and also that the budget is getting a bit out of control." Add to that the Writers Guild of America strike has made no writers are available to solve any script problems. Add to that (part 2) studio executives do not seem happy with the actors assigned the leading roles. Memos describe that as "mediocre" at best. IESB's sources are telling them production for the "Justice League" has been pushed back to at least April. Keep watching, we'll keep listening and passing it along.
