Universes are all the rage in Hollywood, which is why it should come as no surprise that there are now plans to expand the one surrounding The Terminator.

The James Cameron-created franchise has spawned several sequels and a television series, but fanfare appears to be diminishing (proof is in the disappointing U.S. box office of only $90 million).

While initially described as “on hold,” the Terminator is once again rising from the grave to spout it’s famous line, “I’ll be back.”

TheWrap recently held a conference in which Skydance Media Chief Creative Officer Dana Goldberg responded to reports that the Terminator franchise was “on hold.”

“I wouldn’t say on hold, so much as re-adjusting,” she explained in regards to the company’s plans to pursue a big-screen trilogy as well as a new TV series announced in late 2013.

“At Skydance, when we talk movies, we talk universes, even more than franchises,” Goldberg said about continuing the sci-fi saga across platforms. “So the idea of a ‘Terminator’ TV show fits into that universe. All the steps have to be taken in unison.”

Genysis only made $90 million here in the States, but pulled in an impressive $350 million overseas. Goldberg explains how international numbers are more important these days (take a look at the James Bond films for a perfect example).

“Happily, we live in the world where the domestic number had a level of importance 10 or 15 years ago — I’m not saying it’s not important, it is — but we have to play to a worldwide market,” she stated. “In terms of Terminator, the worldwide market paid attention, but we’re not taking the domestic number lightly.”

The company plans to use “data and research to do a worldwide study and really talk to audiences about what they loved, and what maybe didn’t work for them, so that the next we take with the franchise is the right one.”

Cameron’s The Terminator was forward thinking and revolutionary, while the idea behind Genysis was so generic that it revolved around a “cloud” that had to wait for its activation time and date. If they want to know what we love, it’s unique, new ideas with refreshing filmmakers who take chances.

Shit, I would love to find out that Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy were assassinated by Terminators. That’s already more interesting than the previous two films…
