Schwarzenegger is back-Terminator 5!

Feuer Frei! · 04-27-11, 10:14 PM

Early days yet, but a confirmation nonetheless:

The news Tuesday that Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to the "Terminator" franchise provides a colorful coda to several story lines.

The new film, loosely dubbed "Terminator 5," is being shopped to studios. There is no script or screenwriter, but a person close to what Hollywood terms a film package, who asked not to be identified because of the early nature of the negotiations, confirmed that Creative Artists Agency has begun shopping the rights to make the movie, though with no plotline as yet. Schwarzenegger, the person said, would play a starring role as the title character in the science-fiction film, not a supporting role in which he passed the baton to a new hero. The movie would be directed by "Fast Five" director Justin Lin.
Tuesday's news raises nearly as many creative questions as it answers. The offshoot "Terminator Salvation," directed by McG, was roughed up by critics but pocketed $371 million worldwide. It was supposed to be the start of a new trilogy starring Sam Worthington. But the return of Arnold, and the fact that McG will not have a place on this film, means that the new Skynet saga could pick up the narrative trail of the third picture, 2003's "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines," or start in yet another new direction. ("Machines" finished with Nick Stahl's John Connor and Claire Danes' Kate Brewster running from Schwarzenegger's Terminator, with all three still alive at movie's end.)

Talk about lousy journalism. Schwarzenegger played a "friendly" terminator, and I don't know how he could have survived the explosion of the enemy terminator's core at point blank range.

Nice catch!

In any case, it's not like the Terminator movies were at all interested in logically following any linear plot line. When time travel is the key component of a story, keeping the story straight becomes optional.

Interesting that this news breaks just days after the passing of 'Judgment Day.'

Naw, it's the new model, a former bodybuilder designed to fit in on over 50's cruises, swap meets and queues where everything is paid for in pennies.
