Terminator 5 Details


"Terminator Salvation" hits theaters May 21, but McG is already working on plans for the next installment in the franchise.

In an interview from Film Journal, McG spoke about how "Salvation" came about, what made him interested in the film and other behind-the-scenes goodies about the anticipated movie. (Read full article here).

Near the end of the interview though, McG begins to talk about his ideas for the next "Terminator" film.

"I strongly suspect the next movie is going to take place in a [pre-Judgment Day] 2011," McG reveals. "John Connor is going to travel back in time and he's going to have to galvanize the militaries of the world for an impending SkyNet invasion.

"They've figured out time travel to the degree where they can send more than one naked entity. So you're going to have hunter killers and transports and harvesters and everything arriving in our time and Connor fighting back with conventional military warfare, which I think is going to be f***ing awesome. I also think he's going to meet a scientist that's going to look a lot like present-day Robert Patrick [who famously played the T-1000 in Terminator 2], talking about stem-cell research and how we can all live as idealized, younger versions of ourselves."

This brings up the idea of bringing back Patrick to fill a role. Going back in time again sounds kind of confusing (time travel can always be confusing), but no one has even seen "Salvation" yet.

We can all decide what ideas for the next film can work after seeing how "Salvation" ends later this month.

More news to come! Catch ya' later!
