The hedge fund company Pacificor acquired the rights to the Terminator series last year and it was made clear that they were under no obligation to continue on with the trilogy that Terminator Salvation was intended to start. At this point, it’s still unclear which direction future installments might take or how they’re going to navigate through the increasingly convoluted continuity.

Schwarzenegger was immediately inundated with offers after leaving office and Terminator 5 was one of the first projects he was rumored to be eyeing. Evidently, his desire to step back in front of the camera convinced Universal that this was the right time to relaunch the iconic franchise. They quickly tossed Fast Five director Justin Lin into the mix – and Lin later confirmed that he spoke with Schwarzenegger about appearing in the film.

Pacificor is now looking to finalize a deal for the financing and distribution of Terminator 5 and they’ve been shopping the project around to several studios. Lin is still attached to direct, but according to Deadline the real selling point is that Schwarzenegger is now officially on board as well.





I wonder what his role is going to be?????? An android again????

It'd be pretty nuts for him to play a terminator again; he's 63. In very good shape, but still he's not Mr Universe any more.

He could be the human the Arnie T-800s were based on. They could  CGI  his (young) face onto a body double for actual T-800s as they did in T4 (below).



Wouldn't be for many scenes; they ALWAYS have to have him taking a lot of damage to expose his robotic parts, so then on it's all CGI.

And I don't know anything about "Fast Five director Justin Lin", but the Fast 5 movies are just dumb action  pieces, so it's not looking good for a thoughtful extension of the saga. Just lots of shit blowing up. In 3D no doubt.

I really dont understand actors!
Why doesnt he just retire and live the good life!?!?!
He doesnt need to work hes got plenty of money, He's 63 has put his heart through decades of steroid abuse how long has he really got left!
All hes doing is risking the reputation of his 3 Terminator films going into this one! Salvation was not that good an coz he only had a camio role in it his reputation is still intact.
