Annapurna Pictures and Skydance have now publicly announced that the next Terminator movie (T5) will be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.
This will also be a complete new trilogy. Arnold Schwarzenegger will star in Terminator 5! It us unknown at this point if he is attached to star in 6 and 7 too. The press release described it as “the first in a stand-alone trilogy”. Our reboot fears could be reborn. It depends if this is a continuation or a TOTAL REBOOT!
Terminator 5 will be produced by Megan Ellison and David Ellison. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier are finalizing their script.
In roughly 5 years the series will revert back to James Cameron as previously discussed on this website. So before 2018 hits they have to release 3 Terminator movies. Let’s hope they are not rush jobs but they use the time equally and well to make each of the 3 new Terminator movies the best that they can be!
Now we just need Brad Fiedel back for the music and some of the old cast and crew to make this a true new Terminator trilogy!
