Terminator 5 With Schwarzenegger’s Back to Acting
After Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted exciting news on 11.Feb. (that he gave green light to CAA friends), the Universal studio is looking to get Justin Lin to direct and Chris Morgan to write the script for the new untitled Terminator sequel.
Creative Artists Agency (CAA) is a leading Hollywood talent agency and Schwarzenegger's personal adviser, Daniel Ketchell, confirmed the tweet Friday morning. Before governing the state of California from 2003 to 2010, the ex-body builder was the star of such blockbusters as the “Terminator” franchise and True Lies and comedies like Kindergarten Cop and Twins.
Justin Lin has lately been responsible the Fast and Furious sequels including that upcoming fun film Fast Five which Universal releases April 29. The plan would be to probably join him with Chris Morgan, who aside from Fast Five has tributes on big scale Universal films that include the new Keanu Reeves action movie 47 Ronin and Bekmambetov‘s Wanted (2008).
The latest ‘master-plan' for a new sequel was back in August when animated company Hannover House surprised everybody by announcing their plans for a PG-13, $70 million, 3D animated film titled Terminator 3000 that would probably hijack Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton to recapture their look from the 80′s & Cameron's well-defined look for the universe.
On the other hand, James Cameron has less interest in the Terminator series than at any point in his life right now, focusing instead on the Avatar world.
Deadline reported that William Wisher–James Cameron's collaborator on “Terminator 2” and co-writer on the original scribed a 24-page treatment for the next film and a four-page concept outline for a sixth Terminator project. His version continued the post-apocalyptic battlefield scenario from Terminator Salvation, but added in the mode of time travel.
I think you'll agree that it will be most interesting to see what shape this franchise takes. Should Arnold just voice his cyborg assassin programmed to kill Sarah Connor?

Would be great if Arnold played some kind of human resistance lider. When he was young, he became prototype model for t800, but escaped or smtnhg, now he got older and joined resistance (or is leading it). Old man against his metal selves.
