No es blog para viejos

No, no es una broma, los derechos de la franquicia de Terminator estan en venta. El grupo Halcyon, actual propietario, esta en quiebra y ofrece a los posibles compradores la posibilidad de dar nuevos impulsos a la franquicia en forma de futuras peliculas, series, spin-offs, etc.

Aprovechando tan magnifica oportunidad, el mismisimo Joss Whedon, creador del "Buffy-verso", ha publicado una carta abierta donde se ofrece a adquirir los derechos de una de las mas famosas franquicias cinematograficas...por el modico precio de 10.000 dolares. Aqui va un fragmento de dicha carta (podeis leerla al completo aqui):

"Dear Sirs/Ma'ams,

I am Joss Whedon, the mastermind behind Titan A.E., Parenthood (not the movie) (or the new series) (or the one where 'hood' was capitalized ’cause it was a pun), and myriad other legendary tales. I have heard through the 'grapevine' that the Terminator franchise is for sale, and I am prepared to make a pre-emptive bid RIGHT NOW to wrap this dealio up. This is not a joke, this is not a scam, this is not available on TV. I will write a check TODAY for $10,000, and viola! Terminator off your hands."

Joss, ademas, ofrece una serie de ideas de cara a la continuidad de la franquicia. Algunas no tienen desperdicio:

"1) Terminator… of the Rings! Yeah, what if he time-travelled TOO far… back to when there was dragons and wizards? (I think it was the Dark Ages.) Hasta La Vista, Boramir! Cool, huh? "Now you gonna be Gandalf the Red!" RRRRIP! But then he totally helps, because he's a cyborg and he doesn't give a s#&% about the ring — it has no power over him! And he can carry it AND Frodo AND Sam AND f@%& up some orcs while he's doing it. This stuff just comes to me. I mean it. (I will also offer $10,000 for the Lord of the Rings franchise).

2) More Glau. Hey. There's a reason they're called "Summer" movies.

3) Can you say… musical? Well don't. Even I know that's an awful idea.

4) Christian Bale's John Connor will get a throat lozenge. This will also help his Batwork (ten grand for that franchise too, btw.)"

Que os parece?? Llevar a Governator y a John Connor a la Tierra Media? Traer de vuelta a Summer Glau? Terminator, the musical?? Al menos Whedon se preocupa por su actor principal y le ofrece a Christian Bale pastillas para la garganta, que no le vendrian nada mal para suavizar esa voz de ultratumba tan caracteristica suya.

Bromas del Sr Whedon aparte, veremos quien se hace con los derechos de Terminator y como reconducen la franquicia despues de las malas criticas que ha cosechado "Terminator Salvation".
