ARNOLD’S TERMINATOR FRANCHISE CANCELLED?

We might not see Arnold Schwarzenegger say “I’ll be back” again. Paramount Pictures, which holds the rights to the franchise, has reportedly cancelled the long-running science fiction Terminator franchise. Reports cited sources as saying, “It is over for The Terminator. The studio has taken the sequel off the production slate completely, meaning there is no preproduction or any plans for another sequel. The talent had been offered longterm deals, but this is not happening,”

The most recent film in the series, Terminator: Genisys (2015), was released in 2015 and fared well internationally. But it seems that the movie’s international success may not have been enough to save the franchise. A sequel to the film was removed from Paramount’s 2017 release schedule last year, and now looks to have been shelved.

“The Genisys movie was seen as a way of reviving [the franchise], but the critics were not happy, and somehow the studio bosses fell out of love with making more, even though they made huge profits,” the source said.

However, there were reports that James Cameron is preparing a reboot of the films when he regains partial rights to the franchise in 2019.

Schwarzenegger first played the Terminator in the 1984 film of the same name. He portrayed a cyborg sent back in time to kill a woman who was pregnant with the leader of a future resistance resistant movement. He went on to star in two sequels Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2001).

Hair transplant is becoming increasingly popular as a permanent and effective cure for baldness. If performed at a reputed centre, transplanted hair not only looks natural, it can greatly improve a person’s looks, according to experts at Dr A’s Clinic, Delhi.

Experts say that Food and Drug Administration approved medications may not always treat baldness. However, celebrities around the world vouch for the dramatic results of hair transplants. According to Dr A’s Clinic, modern hair transplant technologies can be divided into two broad categories — the stitchless Follicular Unit Separation Extraction (FUSE) method, and, the strip Follicular Unit Hair Transplant (FUHT) method. FUHT involves taking a hair-bearing strip of scalp from the sides or back of the head and transplanting hair follicles in the bald or balding areas. However, for patients who do not want suture marks on the scalp, the stitchless version of hair transplants the FUSE method could be a viable alternative.

The FUSE method is more laborious than FUHT and may need procedures conducted over three to four consecutive days to transplant the same number of hair grafts that can be transplanted by FUHT in one day.

Experts at the clinic say that after all the hair roots have been transplanted, the area is bandaged and the patient can go back home. The transplanted hairs do not require any special aftercare, except for the first seven days. These hairs grow normally, and can be cut, coloured and treated just like natural hair.

Dr A’s Clinic suggests one should not rush into getting hair transplants and should instead do their research and meet people who have already undergone the procedure. The clinic says users can get free consultation online by installing its Besthair app on their Android smartphones from the Google Play Store. Patients can also get a consultation for free by sending pictures and following the procedure outlined at www.fusehair. com/new-patient-guide/freeonline-consultation.
