Justin Lin Wants To Bring Back Sarah Connor For ‘Terminator 5’. Hell Yeah.

I’m going to continue to throw my chips in with Justin Lin’s potential Terminator 5. At the very least I’m expecting a movie with some terrific action, and at best it could be a legitimately dope installment in the series. Lin continues to talk shop regarding the project, and he’s expressed interest in bringing back Sarah Connor. Whoop whoop!

Slashfilm:

The interview in question was conducted by  Moviehole. It’s a good read, especially since Lin talks about the fact that The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift  is basically the final film in the series. But I digress. Here’s the Sarah Connor Stuff:

MovieHole: In some respect it was like, just seeing Arnold at the end of the last one, the last 5 seconds, even though he was a computer generated version of, people were excited the same way they saw Vin at the end of Tokyo Drift. It kind of reminded, you know, reminded everyone this is the guy, this is the franchise king.

Lin: Yeah, exactly. And I think that you know if the right version, if you go back to the thematic drives of the first one especially, I think that’s a way to be able to reengage with that franchise.

MH: And there’s going to be a way to resurrect Sarah Connor. I’m missing Sarah Connor.

L: I mean, Sarah Connor is such a big part of the franchise, you know. Yeah, I mean I’ve always been surprised how in part 3 she was just like… It was like one line and she was gone.

MH: She was dead, yeah, yeah. It was insulting, yeah.

L: Yeah, like leukemia and… But I think the great thing about this franchise is you have… You can actually have different canons because you have the element of timetravel. So, there’s a way of kind of respecting all the works but also able to create a new time line.

Amen, brah! I’d really like to see Lin’s take on Terminator. He’s so stoked about it, I’m curious to at least see what it looks like in motion.
