Is Terminator Ever Coming Back?

The Terminator franchise has not really stood up with a film decent enough to proudly stand alongside the first two films The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The sequels that followed have either been mediocre or boring.

"Terminator: Genisys" Reboots Terminator, Set for July 2015

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions’ fifth installment in the rebooted Terminator franchise is going to bear the title Terminator: Genisys, and it's set to be released July 1, 2015. It's going to grace the return of Arnold Schwarzenegger to his iconic role. This new terminator movie is said to be a reboot and will be expecting two more sequels which will bear the title Terminator 2 and 3, and set for May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018.

The plan is for the two sequels to film back to back, a plan which will likely hold true as long as the first film in the rebooted trilogy is a successful endeavor.  Alan Taylor directs Arnold Schwarzenegger in his return to the title role, along with Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, Matt Smith, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Byung Hun Lee.

The "Khaleesi" Emilia Clarke Set to play Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot

It looks like Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) has won out for the role of Sarah Connor in Skydance/Annapurna Pictures/Paramount’s Terminator reboot.  The decision was down to Clarke and Brie Larson (Short Term 12) as to who would play the character made famous by Linda Hamilton’s badass performance in the original films.  Clarke would play the mother to John Connor, a hero of the human revolution against the machines; Jason Clarke is currently in talks for the role. (Hey, at least they already have a last name in common.)  Due to the near-twenty-year age difference between the two Clarkes, there’s likely a time-travel element to the reboot, which is set for release July 1, 2015.
