Is "Terminator 5" in Our Future?

Dreams of another Terminator film seem long and effortless. Since Halcyon Company declared bankruptcy in 2009 the rights of the Terminator franchise has been a struggle for the company. The film has been sold now to producer Megan Ellison and Annapuma Films. The next installment, however, is not to be expected to be released soon in theaters. Since Ellison has picked up the film she has hired her brother David Ellison and Jack Reacher to produce the film. This has picked up some momentum for the next installment of the franchise. For fans this is exciting but we have to remember the reality of the film. Since the purchase of the right to the franchise the film has not attained a director who is committing to the film. Director Justin Lin was asked to direct the newest installment of the franchise. This gave the fans excitement and hopes to see what will be the next chapter in the fight between humanity and Skynet. Sadly, Lin officially left the project to film with another franchise. Losing the director is another set back for the franchise and the hope of the next installment.  

            The franchise is not doomed. It has a team of three producers and the return of the original star Arnold Schwarzenegger. In an interview Arnold was slightly explaining some details of the film. Not much was revealed but there was talk of training for the role.  Having Arnold star in the new film might bring some luck to the franchise. This might help Annapuma Films acquire a director. This brings some positivity to the situation. Will there finally be an ending after all these years? Can the Terminator franchise be brought back to life with the return of Arnold and new faces? For the fans out there this is all we can hope for, until then it’s the waiting game.
