Toy Fair ’10: NECA’s Astounding New ‘Terminator’ Figures
What I would have done for these when I was a youngin’. NECA revealed even more badass Terminator figures at this weekend’s Toy Fair in New York. It looks like a mix of figures from both Terminator 2: Judgement Day and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines with the standout figure being that of Robert Patrick as the T-1000 in mid-shape-shift (love that shiny “mimetic poly-alloy”). What I would do for a 16″ version of that toy.
“Two additional new Terminator 2 ‘Judgement Day’ T-800 figures with different deco, weapons and hands and the three versions of the T-1000 were on display at the NECA booth.
* T-800 (Battle Across Time) Figure will feature different hands and a phase plasma rifle.
* T-800 (Steel Mill) Figure will feature new deco and battle damage.
* T-1000 (Liquid Metal) This may possibly be an exclusive later in the year.
* T-1000 (Police Officer) This figure is based on the 1st police officer form the T-1000 takes and will include a pistol and additional hand with pointed metal finger.
* T-1000 (Motorcycle Officer) This figure will feature interchangeable mettalic hook hands and a split in half in addition to another head which was not shown.”

’28 Years Later’ – Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson Join Long Awaited Sequel
Danny Boyle and Alex Garland (Annihilation, Men), the director and writer behind 2002’s hit horror film 28 Days Later, are reteaming for the long-awaited sequel, 28 Years Later. THR reports that the sequel has cast Jodie Comer (Alone in the Dark, “Killing Eve”), Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kraven the Hunter), and Ralph Fiennes (The Menu).
The plan is for Garland to write 28 Years Later and Boyle to direct, with Garland also planning on writing at least one more sequel to the franchise – director Nia DaCosta is currently in talks to helm the second installment.
No word on plot details as of this time, or who Comer, Taylor-Johnson, and Fiennes may play.
28 Days Later received a follow up in 2007 with 28 Weeks Later, which was executive produced by Boyle and Garland but directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Now, the pair hope to launch a new trilogy with 28 Years Later. The plan is for Garland to write all three entries, with Boyle helming the first installment.
Boyle and Garland will also produce alongside original producer Andrew Macdonald and Peter Rice, the former head of Fox Searchlight Pictures, the division of one-time studio Twentieth Century Fox that originally backed the British-made movie and its sequel.
The original film starred Cillian Murphy “as a man who wakes up from a coma after a bicycle accident to find England now a desolate, post-apocalyptic collapse, thanks to a virus that turned its victims into raging killers. The man then navigates the landscape, meeting a survivor played by Naomie Harris and a maniacal army major, played by Christopher Eccleston.”
Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) is on board as executive producer, though the actor isn’t set to appear in the film…yet.
Talks of a third installment in the franchise have been coming and going for the last several years now – at one point, it was going to be titled 28 Months Later – but it looks like this one is finally getting off the ground here in 2024 thanks to this casting news. Stay tuned for more updates soon!
