“It is back. It is moving forward,” Schwarzenegger told the site, adding that Cameron, who would produce the film, “has some good ideas of how to continue with the franchise. I will be in the movie.” This will mark Cameron’s return to the franchise he created back in 1984. The filmmaker also penned and directed the 1991 sequel “Terminator 2: Judgment Day.” It is still unknown whether Cameron will reboot the whole franchise or pick up where he left off. David Ellison, whose company co-financed the 2015 sequel “Terminator Genisys” and holds the rights to the franchise until 2019, will also be involved in financing the effort.
