New Terminator Movie Set for 2015

It looks like the producers have given up on Terminator 5 and will instead reboot the franchise with "a stand-alone trilogy", the first of which is set for release on June 26, 2015, according to a joint press release by Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures.

While Arnold Schwarzenegger is not mentioned in the release, he is expected to return to play the T-800 and has confirmed as much in an interview. Joining Schwarzenegger may be Dwayne Johnson, who is rumored to be playing the big, bad robot in the movie.

A director has not been announced, but filming is said to begin sometime in January 2014, according to Schwarzenegger. Now that Justin Lin is off Fast & Furious 7, perhaps he's coming back to direct the new Terminator movie.
