The new Terminator film has taken another step forward closer to production. Last month we learned that Megan Ellison’s brother, David Ellison, had come aboard the project to co-produce the next installment of the franchise through his Skydance Pictures banner alongside Megan’s Annapurna Pictures, and now the producers have tapped a couple of writers to start work on the script. Deadline reports that Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier will write the script for the new Terminator film, though further details are understandably being kept under wraps.
Kalogridis previously penned the scripts for Shutter Island and Alexander, as well as the pilot for the TV series Bionic Woman. Lussier, meanwhile, was responsible for writing 2011’s Drive Angry and received a “story by” credit on Dracula 2000, which he also directed. As I mentioned, we know next to nothing about where this new Terminator stands in relation to the previous films, but Megan Ellison has confirmed that it will indeed be rated R. With screenwriters now firmly onboard, expect to hear more news regarding the next Terminator sooner rather than later.

Patrick Lussier WAT?
Alexander ? muhahaha! What a piece of …
sorry Oliver, but you failed hard.
Alexander, Bionic Woman, Drive Angry, and Dracula 2000. Wow, this movie is starting out on the right foot. If you thought Salvation was bad wait until this turd drops.
I personally enjoyed Drive Angry, I wish I could say that about the rest though…
Wtf is this. Was it a buy one get one free deal. There are some pretty abysmal movies between those 2. This is going to be bad.
I CAN’T STAND My Bloody Valentine 3D or Drive Angry! They’re abysmal! This is not good news, but at least Todd Farmer isn’t attached. Don’t. Like. Him. At. All.
This just screams quality.
They should just pretend terminator 3 and 4 did not happen if they want this to continue and not suck.
