Deadline<\/em> have revealed that Terminator 5<\/em><\/a> is finally moving ahead, with Avatar<\/em> screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis and Drive Angry<\/em>‘s Patrick Lussier name as the duo responsible for bringing the script together.<\/p>\n

Annapurna Pictures producer Megan Ellison beat Lionsgate to the Terminator 5<\/em> rights in a bidding war in 2011. Although a newcomer to Hollywood, Ellison’s name is on the likes of Zero Dark Thirty<\/em>, The Master<\/em> and Lawless<\/em>, and she has teamed up with her brother David Ellison’s Skydance Productions to help bring the film to life.<\/p>\n

Skydance, although a similarly fresh operation, co-finances and co-produces films for Paramount, and so is involved in the likes of World War Z<\/em>, Star Trek Into <\/em>Darkness<\/em> and Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol<\/em>, the seed of a storyline for Terminator 5<\/em> is believed to have come from Skydance.<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenneger<\/a> was previously pencilled in to reprise the role, and hopefully that still holds true.<\/p>\n

Pick up the original Terminator on Blu-ray for £15.99<\/a> from Amazon<\/a>.co.uk.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
