RUMOR: Linda Hamilton And Michael Biehn Also Set To Return For TERMINATOR 5?
While the source itself is questionable, a new report claims that original Terminator stars Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) and Michael Biehn (Kyle Reese) will return alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger for the Alan Taylor helmed Terminator 5. It IS supposed to be a reboot, right?!
The fifth instalment in the Terminator franchise is set to be directed by Thor: The Dark World's Alan Taylor, and it's thought that it will be a reboot of sorts, kicking off a new standalone trilogy of movies. Arnold Schwarzenegger has said numerous times that he's planning on returning, despite the fact that it makes little to no sense how the 66 year old actor could possibly reprise the role of The Terminator (which has also led to reports that the movie will be set in the 1950s, with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson taking on a lead role). Either way, The Mirror now claims that Schwarzenegger will be paid $20 million to return, while Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn will join him. Try getting your head around THAT, continuity buffs! Anyway, while it's best to take this report with a gigantic pinch of salt for the time being, it certainly leads to some interesting possibilities. Their sources apparently tell them that, "Paramount have hired Taylor because of the way he mixes extreme action with dynamic story telling. While these movies are are about action, their success has been down to the exchanges between the robot and men." What do you guys think?
