That's right - you haven't even seen the FOURTH Terminator movie yet...and there's already a fifth, and most likely a sixth movie planned? Seems like the whole Terminator franchise is getting brought back to life, according to the announcement below. I'm just curious how all this ties into the TV show, which we really enjoy. I was recently telling Brett I've been wondering if the TV show is planned JUST to lead into the movie? Granted, I can't imagine them running the show with a planned limited run - to have it go right up til the beginning of the new movie and stop there. Guess we'll have to wait and see!
According to Variety, next year’s Terminator: Salvation won’t be the final outing for the killer robots from the future. Latest trailer here.
Announced at the Dubai International Film Festival over the weekend, Halcyon Co.’s Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek along with Salvation director McG are developing a fifth film to follow Salvation. Anderson and Kubicek are eyeing the rebooted franchise as a trilogy, and Christian Bale has signed to play John Connor in all three films. The fifth, yet untitled Terminator movie is tentatively scheduled for a 2011 release.
Salvation is set in 2018, with Connor leading the human resistance against the Skynet robots in the Judgement Day War that was predicted in the original 1984 film.
As Variety reports, the decision to move ahead with a fifth film in the franchise was made earlier than planned due to the positive response from the studio (Warner Bros.), media and fans to footage from the film.
Terminator: Salvation is due in theaters May 22nd, 2009.
