Writers Hired To Pen Script For Next Installment In ‘The Terminator’ Franchise

There has been talks for quite time regarding the next film in the Terminator franchise and when it would see the light of day. Director Justin Lin was originally attached to direct the next installment, but has since dropped out of the project. Arnold has expressed interest in returning to the franchise, but recently expressed his frustration with the lack of progress. Well, maybe that might have been what the people behind the film needed to get the ball rolling. 

Skydance Productions and Annapurna Pictures are finally moving forward with the film and have hired two writers to pen the script. Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Wes Craven’s Dracula, My Bloody Valentine) have been hired to write the script for the next installment in the highly successful sci-fi franchise. This next film is rumored to be one of the two final chapters in the story and hopefully will pick up after the events of Terminator: Salvation.
