The project was previously known as Terminator 5 to fans when they thought they would be getting the future war continuation they always wanted. After Annapurna revealed that the movie would be a reboot the title became known as Terminator (2015).
Now this tweet throws it all up in the air calling the movie Terminator: Genesis.
The name suggests the origin story… but sorry wasn’t The Terminator (1984) a perfect origin story? Personally as much as this movie makes our skin crawl calling the movie ‘Terminator’ seemed a pretty sane choice and if the Genesis title is true it can only be to avoid confusion with the first movie… you know that first real and only Terminator genesis story that James Cameron showed us back in 1984.
This movie does not excite TheTerminatorFans.com staff but we are trying to keep an open mind.
The title could be a working title. The film was supposed to start filming in January and they can’t even confirm a title or include Arnold Schwarzenegger’s name in an official press release when he is supposedly playing the title character? The news is not being presented clearly and the rumors are just plain annoying but maybe that is the aim.
This title has not been confirmed yet but you can mark our words that the press will be asking Alan Taylor or anyone attached to the project as soon as they can.
So what would you like the next Terminator movie to be called… simply TERMINATOR or Terminator: Genesis or you would rather have just had Terminator 5, the continuation of the franchise we originally fell in love with in 1984 and 1991? Tell us in the comments below.
