Schwarzenegger Confirmed As The Terminator In T5 With Filming Beginning In January!

This JUST IN! THIS JUST IN! After rumors of Paramount finalizing everything for a fifth Terminator movie, it has come out today that Ahhhrrnold himself will reprise his role as the cybernetic organism with living tissue over metal endoskeleton AKA The Terminator.

Fresh out of the 21st Century Financial Education Summit, Arnold was quoted as saying

In fact, I’m very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star AS the Terminator, which we start shooting in January and I’m also going to do King Conan – to play that role and also to do another Twins movie. So I feel very proud of that. I feel very happy and I’m looking forward to doing those films.

Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry) are working on the script, while Justin Lin was lined up to direct the film at first, but wandered off and did Fast 6 instead.

It will be interesting to see how they work his age into the film. It made sense in T-3 as he was based off an already living person (Sargent Candy). They could de-age him ALA X-Men, but I think it may get a little too uncanny valley for viewers. Also, how will the events from Salvation play into this film, as that is now technically canon.

Nothing else to report, but  you can expect a boat load come San Diego Comic Con!
