Paramount tried a few approaches in the new Terminator reboot. But if a franchise hits the doldrums, how can a studio resurrect it?
Fingers are being crossed at Skydance and Paramount Pictures that the critical mauling handed out to Terminator: Genisys last week won't be reflected fully in the box office numbers. So far, the plan for a new trilogy of Terminator films is arguably just about alive, courtesy of a total gross for the new film of $131m worldwide. That's below expectations, but if it can eventually crawl its way to $400m, that's probably enough to move ahead with a Genisys sequel (it'd be more than the hugely-acclaimed Mad Max: Fury Road).
But even if a new film gets greenlit, it's clear that things have to change again. As many have pointed out, the consensus is now that there have been more bad-to-middling Terminator films than good ones,...

Anyway, following the reveal of Dori, Nori and Ori yesterday, today we get our first look at Óin and Glóin, played by John Callen and Peter Hambleton, in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit." Like the trio yesterday, these two are part of the group who participate in The Quest of Erebor, an adventure recounted in “Unfinished Tales” that takes place before the events in “The Hobbit,” in which Gandalf organizes the taking of Lonely Mountain whose treasure is guarded by the dragon Smaug. The brothers are…...

Even though the first Hobbit movie doesn’t arrive in theaters for a year and a half, it seems the filmmakers are insistent on making sure fans approve of what they’re doing with the individual characters. Fine by us, since now we can share yet another pic from the upcoming Peter Jackson epic. This time, instead of Martin Freeman or Ian McKellan striking a new pose as Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf, respectively, we get our first look at Nori, Dori and Ori, three brothers played by Jed Brophy, Mark Hadlow and Adam Brown.
