Already missing your favourite Cyborg after watching the last of movie, Terminator Gensys in which the original Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger made another appearance? It looks like your wish will be fulfilled if James Cameron, one of the creators of this hit move franchise, decides to push ahead with his plans.

What he is mulling is to reinvent the movie franchise with another trilogy in a report at News.com.au. Whilst the last two films, Gensys and Salvation were supposed to jump off points to a new series, they were disappointing enough that the plans were stillborn. James Cameron realizes that and if he gets his way, he would rather “reinvent” the series by launching a new trilogy.

In his opinion, the world is already turning into reality what were supposed to be science fiction when The Terminator was first launched: big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and robots in the form of unmanned drones (plus emerging self driving cars) leading him to question if the Terminator is still relevant these days.

With rights in the U.S. market for the Terminator going to revert back to Cameron in a year and half, he is in discussion with David Ellison, who has the global rights to the franchise on what they can do. He says that they are both leaning toward another trilogy and reinventing the franchise.

But with the start of filming for Avatar 2, which will be the first of four sequels of the blockbuster film, will he ever find time to go back to the drawing board for a reboot of the Terminator franchise? And if he does, will he further go back into past, showing the origins of the Terminator and create questions on AI, which is right now subject to a big debate (Terminator has an influence in the AI debate) or will the new trilogy push further into the future, beyond the story of the Connors (Sarah and John)?

With the track record of James Cameron as a director, being one of the highest grossing directors with US$6.139 billion worldwide box office receipts under his belt, his going back to the helm of his creation is something that makes me excited in looking forward to the new Terminator series.
