Writers hired to take on "Terminator 5"

"The Terminator" is one of my Big-4 science fiction movies along with "Alien", "Blade Runner" and "Aliens" so I'm always interested in hearing related news. That news hasn't always been good as after the ponderous "T2" and the abysmal "Rise of the Machines" the franchise seemed to be going nowhere in a hurry. Things took a turn in the right direction with the imperfect but interesting "Salvation" breathing some much needed life into the franchise and setting it up pretty well for the future. That future, however, turned out to be one where the franchise has languished for several years now. Happily that situation may have finally changed with Skydance Productions announcing that Laeta Kalodgris and Patrick Lussier have been brought on to pen a script. Kalogridis' credits include "Shutter Island" and "Avatar" while Lussier's include Wes Craven's "Dracula".

No word on whether or not Ahnuld will be asked to participate in some form but since his most compelling work in the series since the 1984 original was a CG cameo in "Salvation" it hardly seems like a necessary element at this point.

Does CG Ahnuld have a future in the "Terminator" series?
