The new Terminator movie hits a snag, as proposed director Justin Lin chooses to press ahead with Fast & Furious 6 instead.
Justin Lin is an in-demand director. The massive success of the last two movies in the Fast & Furious franchise have seen the helmer signing up for duties on a Highlander reboot, and the next Terminator movie. But, it seems, his schedule can’t keep up.
Lin is committed to making Fast & Furious 6 next, which is set to appear in cinemas in the summer of 2013. The first consequence of that was that he had to drop out of the planned Highlander reboot, which is now looking for a new director.
But, it seems that the same fate might have befallen his desire to make the new Terminator movie, too.
In spite of the fact that Lin has held meetings with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and been working on new ideas for the Terminator movies, the fact that he’s going to spend next year on Fast Six might just have kyboshed his chance of making Terminator 5.
According to Deadline, Lin is being forced to drop out of the next Terminator film, due to the fact that it was being lined up to be shot towards the end of 2012, which clashes with the Fast Six schedule. The director is reportedly still keen to make the two films, and has held the proverbial door open to a return, should the next Terminator project be delayed slightly to free up his availability.
Given that there’s no script in place, as of yet, there’s certainly no guarantee that Terminator 5 will be ready to go in a year’s time, so there may yet be a chance for Lin to direct the movie.
Interestingly, Deadline also reports that James Cameron has had one or two conversations about the new movie, and that the North American rights to the franchise will revert back to him in 2018.Source URL: http://wallpaperhelenmiren.blogspot.com/2011/10/justin-lin-dropping-out-of-terminator-5.html
