Vajna helped his longtime partner form Carolco Pictures in 1976 and was
notably associated with the 'Terminator' franchise in the 1980s. In
1989, Vajna resigned from his position at Carolco to start his own
production company, Cinergi Pictures, but that company eventually
failed in the late 1990s. Vajna eventually re teamed with Kassar in
2003 to form C-2 Pictures, solely to bring back the 'Terminator'
franchise once again.
