    What Will New 'Terminator' Film Be Called?

    If you didn't catch the story yesterday, Fast Five director Justin Lin gave an interview with The Playlist regarding upcoming projects of his, including Fast Six and, of course, the new Terminator film he is working on with Arnold Schwarzenegger attached to star.

    Lin reveals in the interview that he recently sat down to have a meeting with both Schwarzenegger and James Cameron, together!  Here's what he had to say:

    ‘Terminator’ is something I’ve been having a lot of fun with,” Lin told us in an interview to support forthcoming video release of “Fast Five.” “Just even this week, I had a great meeting with Arnold and James Cameron, just sitting down unofficially. And James is so gracious because he’s not part of the project, he’s not going to be producing, but it was great of him just as a filmmaker to take time out to just talk.”

    While we have no idea what to expect from Lin regarding the next Terminator film, if you read the interview in full, the guy seems to have his head in the right place, unlike certain other filmmakers *cough* McG *cough*.  Not to mention, the franchise rights are now owned by Megan Ellison's Annapurna Films, an independent film company who are most certainly going to give Lin all the creative control he wants on the project, unlike the past two installments which were studio controlled.

    But with this all said, it's probably intriguing to wonder what this new Terminator film wil be called.  At this point, we know Lin wants to bring the story and tone back to the first two films (R-rated please), and completely disregard the 3rd and 4th entries.  Along with this, give the franchise a new life in terms of longevity (a la the Fast & Furious franchise).

    So what will the next film be called?  Mind you this is pure speculation and is not a definite the film will be called this when it's released in 2015 at the earliest (Lin's doing Fast Six first for a 2013 release).  Ready though?  Here it is:

    Terminator 

    No The.  Short, sweet, and to the point.
