Paramount has just announced that the next instalment of the Terminator franchise has been given the green light and is set for release in 2015.

Terminator: Genesis (LOLZ) will be directed by Alan Taylor, the guy that brought us Thor: The Dark World and Game of Thrones (kinda cool), written by Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar and Shutter Island) and produced by the guys that did World War Z and the latest Star Trek. In other words, people that know how to make epic, fuck-off movies that make squillions.

It seems Sam Worthington’s invite back to robot land was misplaced however… we suspect somewhere between academic seminars with partner and international intellect, Lara Bingle.

But rest assured, the position is in capable hands. Thirty years after the first film was released, the original terminator has returned and he’s Joined by Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, Public Enemies) and Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones).

Whether you can quote every Arnie line with your eyes closed or the thought of a Terminator pentalogy makes you want to put your head in a blender, the success of the franchise is undeniable.
