June 26th 2015 is a date that you might want to mark on your calendar (assuming you have a 2015 calendar already). Yes indeed, for Paramount, Annapurna Pictures, and Skydance Productions have announced that this will be the release date for the “rebooted Terminator movie.” According to the press release (which you can read below), the new film will be the first part of a stand-alone trilogy. A stand-alone trilogy and a reboot would suggest that this new film will be recreating the Terminator mythology from scratch. However Arnold Schwarzenegger has stated that he will be playing the cyborg once again, despite that fact that no casting is mentioned in the press release.

2015 already has a bumper crop of movie releases with AVENGERS ASSEMBLE 2, ANT-MAN, THE FANTASTIC FOUR, INDEPENDENCE DAY 2, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 5 (yawn!) Pixar’s FINDING DORY, THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY PART 2, JURASSIC PARK 4, possibly STAR WARS: EPISODE VII and in all probability MAN OF STEEL 2. And with the price of tickets creeping ever upwards, now might be the time to think about selling the family silver!

Press Release:

Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted “TERMINATOR” movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, “TERMINATOR” will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance.
