The holders of the rights to Terminator 4 have sued MGM, claiming the studio is interfering with their right to negotiate for the distribution of the planned fourth installment of the highly successful series, Variety reported.

Halcyon Co. and its principals, Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson, acquired the rights in May, including sequel rights to Terminator 2 and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and a script by T3 writers John Brancato and Michael Ferris, with plans to launch a big-budget sequel.

According to the complaint filed in L.A. Superior Court on July 18, MGM claimed it had acquired an exclusive 30-day negotiation window for T4 in the 1990s Orion Pictures bankruptcy. T Asset, the plaintiff and Halcyon’s subsidiary, did not concede MGM’s rights but began negotiations in May over distribution. T Asset claims MGM’s exclusive window is now over, despite MGM’s claims in the media that it has the right to distribute T4. The suit seeks a declaration and injunctive relief.
