Apparently Justin Lin is just too hot for one of cinema’s most storied franchises.

After being connecting to the project for some time, Deadline is reporting that Lin has left the upcoming Terminator installment, which is slated to feature the film’s icon, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Just recently it was reported that Justin Lin had signed a two–year deal with Universal Pictures that would see him working on numerous different films, including Fast and the Furious 6, the follow–up to Fast Five, which Lin directed in addition to The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Fast & Furious.

But one of the multiple other projects that Lin is attached to direct is Terminator 5, which is still being developed and does not have a major studio backing it yet. Even so, Lin had a chat with MovieHole recently, and discussed the future of the Terminator franchise, including bringing back Sarah Connor somehow.

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s run as governor of California came to a close, he’s been looking at various options for his official re-entrance into the acting game. Yes, he did make a cameo in The Expendables, but there were many restrictions to what he could do. Now the former biggest action star in the universe is free to jump back in wherever his soon-to-be 64-year-old body will allow him.

Whispers about what his next move would be swirled, with numerous projects as possible choices for Schwarzenegger were mentioned, including one rumor that he may be finally re-teaming with James Cameron and Tom Arnold for True Lies 2. Now it appears he might just be jumping back into his most famous of roles…as a Terminator.

Remember the Little Golden Books, the innocuously illustrated children’s book series of nursery rhymes, fairy tales, and ways to learn one’s ABC’s that’s been around since 1942?

Well, Josh Cooley, story artist at Pixar Animation Studios, has been having fun in his free time over the past few years making what he dubs “Inappropriate Golden Book“-style illustrations based on popular films.

Cooley compiled his fun illustrations, which include scenes from Alien, The Godfather, The Big Lebowski, and many more, into one book titled Movies R Fun, currently available through his online shop for $35.

We all know things haven’t gone so well for The Terminator franchise since James Cameron’s incredible sequel, Terminator 2: Judgment Day hit theaters in 1991.

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines wasn’t unwatchable, but also wasn’t anywhere near what the first two movies were. Then came Terminator: Salvation, the fourth installment directed by McG, which delivered very impressive trailers and a lot of high hopes from fans but ultimately proved unworthy to the tune of millions of furious faithfuls.

Halcyon, the company behind Salvation, went bankrupt not too long after the release of the movie, and the rights to the Terminator franchise were later acquired by another company named Pacificor — though no future projects have been officially announced at the moment.

So what does Gale Anne Hurd — co-writer of the original and producer of the first three titles, as well as current producer on AMC’s The Walking Dead — think of what has become of her shared brainchild? Well, she’s not too excited about it.
