As I suggested a while back, Justin Lin is just going to betoo busy working on Fast & Furious 6 to direct Arnold Schwarzenegger’sreturn to the Terminator series. According to Deadline Lin has now officiallypulled out of the movie, but as they are planning to end the story in 2 filmshe hasn’t ruled himself out of the filming the 2nd film, or even thenext one IF the release date gets pushed back far enough to allow him to finishFast 6. (Lin has directed the last 3 Fast & Furious films to increasing levels of success.)
Deadline also reports that in 2018 the North American rightsto the Terminator will revert back to James Cameron, because their copyrightlaw states that ‘assigned’ rights revert back after 35 years. (It’s hard to believethat the whole thing started so long ago!) There’s no finished script for thisfilm so Justin Lin may yet have tome to finish his latest cars & crime filmbefore pre-production on this film needs to take place. The original hopes tobring the new Terminator film out sometime in 2012 are looking increasingly optimisticand it seems likely to join Star Trek 2.1, The Wolverine and Man of Steel asfilms that will be making their debuts in 2013 and not in 2012 as originallyadvertised.
