Terminator 5 Takes Another Step Towards becoming a Reality

Schwarzanegger's return as the Terminator has taken a step closer to becoming a reality. Producer Megan Ellison has won rights to the franchise. Lionsgate seemed close to agreeing a deal before Ellison’s Annapurna Films had their late bid accepted.

Ellison was an executive producer on the Coen brothers’ True Grit remake and is producer or executive producer on a number of soon to be released films, including The Wettest County In The World.

The deal is believed to be for at least two more Terminator films, with Fast Five director Justin Lin attached. It has been suggested that Terminator 5 may even start shooting before the end of the year. Schwarzenegger is expected to appear in some capacity, though it’s unclear whether or not he will be the main star.
