The Halcyon Company is a privately financed, media development company headed by Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek respectively. They are perhaps known for recently acquiring the development rights to the Terminator franchise.
[edit] History
The company was co-founded by Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek. In May 2007, Halcyon acquired all of the rights in relationship to the Terminator franchise[1] [2]. These rights include the right to produce any future Terminator films, as well as all future merchandising and licensing rights, certain future revenues derived from Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, as well as certain rights in the television project Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and the sole right to produce all future Terminator projects in any new or existing media. [3] Warner Bros. acquired the North American distribution rights, allowing them to distribute the upcoming Terminator film, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. The film begins production early 2008.[4] In November 2007, the company reported that it was creating its own video games subsidiary, Halcyon Games and will be making a video game adaptation of the upcoming film.[5] [6]
