Ladies and Gentleman. He's back! Again! After announcing his return to acting back in early February. "The Governator" Arnold Schwarzenegger was instantly attached to many roles. There was Kim Ji-Woon's The Last Stand and With Eagles As Wings. Both very interesting projects for the action star. But it seems like he is returning to his roots once.
Deadline reports that Schwarzenegger is set to return to The Terminator franchise with Fast Five director Justin Lin at the helm. They also report that Lin and Schwarzenegger are shopping a rights package around to all the studios.
As a huge fan of the first two Terminator films. I am optimistic of this new film in the franchise. McG's Salvation wasn't good by any stretch, but it was better than T3. I would like to see what Lin can do, it's going to be hard for him to make a worse film than the last two films in this declining franchise. Lin is very talented at one thing. Awesome action set pieces! Fast Five was full of them. So if he can bring the action and also get a story worth seeing (which apparently he has). Then, why not. Let's see what he can do.
There were rumours that Vin Diesel would be in a Lin directed Terminator film. As long as Vin can play it cool and a badass instead of cheesy and bad. Let him have a try. The one thing that worries me is the Terminator name in general. Sure the first was a sleeper hit and the second was huge at the box office. The third did good but Salvation suffered. Is the general audience bored of The Terminator franchise? Or were they just missing Arnold? As always, let us know what you think. Leave your comments below.
Thanks.
Chris.
