In a recent interview, Justin Lin - director of the last three
Fast & The Furious films and the upcoming
Terminator 5 - discusses the story plans with Ahnold for
T5, and says that it's shaping to be a
Terminator film he's always wanted. He also debunks the rumor that the whole original cast was returning for the film, and says that within 3-4 weeks he'll announce what his next film will be.
On discussing the storyline with Schwarzenegger:
"I've talked to Arnold and I feel like there's a take that I'm excited about, a
Terminator movie there that I've always wanted to see and I still haven't seen."
On the rumor that the whole original cast will be back
"Everything has just been between me and Arnold, you know? Just us going out and trying to find the right partners. I have certain elements, but it's never been about, 'Hey, let's bring everybody back!' I just don't process that way."
On what interested him in the Terminator franchise:
"I always feel like what's great about the
Terminator franchise is that there's time-travel and there are different timelines to play with. There are also a lot of gaps from what we love about all of the
Terminator movies, so there's a lot of things we can do and play with... [
Terminator] does have that capability, finding fresh ways of going back without destroying other [movies], because you can tell your own stories."
Terminator 5 currently has no release date.
