Arnold Schwarzenegger has been doing some interviews in his homeland of Austria, and Terminator 6 info has come forth…
We previously reported that our friends over at Manly Movie had a tip off from a user called ‘The Austrian Oak’ about an interview in which Arnold stated:
This week he gave an exclusive interview in his home country to the newspaper Krone. Lucky for them, but if course if you can’t give an exclusive to your kin at home then I don’t know!
Anyway, Arnold has told the Austrian paper that Terminator 6 is still happening, in fact it’s moving along solidly. Our pal The Austrian Oak tells us that Arnold has revealed that the concept behind the new movie has been forwarded by none other than James Cameron himself.
What’s more, the first draft of the script is due in September, with a view to begin filming in 2018. Arnold has also signed on to star. One thing is for sure, it can’t be worse than the last movie and Cameron’s involvement means that there will be a certain degree of quality assurance.
Here is a more accurate google translation (as accurate as Google translate can be) of that interview:
“First Danny DeVito, Eddie Murphy and I turn the comedy ‘Triplets’. A great hit and unexpected gags, it will be a surprise as the first part of the comedy Twins. Furthermore is planned ‘Conan’, and early 2018 I turn ‘Terminator 6’. James Cameron develops the story, David Ellison produces, and from the end of September, the authors are working on the screenplay. So a really varied time, and I love that.”
So, we can see that the first draft has a deadline to begin in September by Script writers that are yet to be declared, but it looks like more than one writer… it couldn’t be the writers of Terminator Genisys again, could it? Possibly at least one of them… Kalogridis? She is after all working on the Avatar sequels and a dose of Redemption could be exactly what Cameron might have planned…. or not.
Arnold then went on to speak to Kleine Zeitung revealing a deadline for Terminator 6 to start filming…
Im Herbst beginne ich die Dreharbeiten zur Komödie „Triplets“ mit Eddie Murphy und Danny DeVito. Im März nächsten Jahres drehe ich „Terminator 6“, James Cameron und David Ellison sind wieder an Bord und dann kommt noch ein „Conan“. Jeden Tag wird mein Leben neu bereichert, das ist ein unglaublich schönes Gefühl.
Good old Google translates it to…
In the fall I start the shooting on the comedy “Triplets” with Eddie Murphy and Danny DeVito. In March next year, I am shooting “Terminator 6”, James Cameron and David Ellison are back on board and then comes a “Conan”.
At this stage it’s unknown if March 2018 is an official start date, it will depend on if schedules are kept and no delays pop up during the process of script writing, it would also be hoped that time is taken on the script to make sure that it is as absolutely as perfect as it can be, and in that case we wouldn’t mind a delay or two if it’s necessary to the onward success of the sixth Terminator movie which has been cited as a full re-imagining/torch/baton passing trilogy reboot.
