Personally, I have to say this is good news.
With director Justin Lin jumping ship to focus on the next two Fast and Furious movies, it appears that the fourth sequel to The Terminator is currently on hiatus. And since the studio believes that Mr. Schwarzenegger should return for real (not like the digital format in the last film) audiences could be waiting quite awhile to see Skynet back on the big screen. Currently, Arnie has a ton of projects on the horizon so I seriously doubt there is a fifth Terminator film coming anytime soon.
And seriously why should there be? Terminator Salvation was just abysmal due in large part to a flat script, poor acting, and a PG-13 rating. (Really Hollywood PG-13 for a Terminator movie?) Additionally, with AH-NOLD now in senior citizen status, how in the world are we supposed to believe him as the Terminator again?
James Cameron apparently disagrees with me. According to MTV, Cameron had a conversation about Arnold's possible participation in a fifth Terminator film last fall. Cameron advised Schwarzenegger that "it should be more about him" and "he should not do it unless it's focused on his character." The only way I see that suggestion working is if Arnie joins the resistance as an older man. Any references to the T-800 would need to be digitally done again to make Arnold younger looking. Have we learned nothing from Tron: Legacy? Ugghh.
It's my sincere wish that somebody remove the CPU chip from this franchise and smash it before it's too late.
