Although Justin Lin is committed to a sequel to FAST FIVE (which already has a release date of May 24, 2013), his name has been tossed about concerning another TERMINATOR flick, and the director recently met with James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger to speak about the project.

The Playlist spoke with Lin, who is simply speculating about a possible TERMINATOR at this point. “TERMINATOR is something I’ve been having a lot of fun with,” Lin says. “Just even this week, I had a great meeting with Arnold and James, 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 as a filmmaker to take time out to talk.

“I don’t know where it’s going to lead, but I never thought at this level I’d be able to meet filmmakers and be in situations where they’re that gracious and insightful and so inclusive. And that’s a franchise that I’m working on right now, but again, if I’m going to be kind of the gatekeeper to it, I want to make sure that I can hopefully build it up the right way—and so far that’s been the most fun. Just to be able to take James Cameron’s brain and for him to be so open even though he has no stakes in it, just as a human being, that’s something that I will always remember as a part of my journey as a filmmaker.”
