Megan Ellison acquired the series rights in June 2011 after a very much aggressive bidding contest put up by the creditor Pacificor LLC for the price of $20 million, fending off the closest bidder, Lionsgate Studios, who offered $15 million. In order to concentrate on producing art-house based films on her Annapurna label, the rights were then transferred in early 2014 to her brother David Ellison. Previous rights holders Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson were forced to relinquish the rights due to Halycon's debt issues, which was a result of an investigation by the FBI of their company over an alleged hedge fund fraud discovered during financing of Terminator Salvation (2009). Harlan Ellison sued James Cameron for the rights to Terminator (1984). See trivia for for The Terminator.
