'Terminator' to be revived with Schwarzenegger?

Universal is reportedly hoping to revive the Terminator series with Fast & Furious director Justin Lin at the helm.

According to Deadline, the studio is looking to team up with hedge fund Pacificor, who acquired the Terminator rights last year in bankruptcy court, and mount another big screen instalment in the sci-fi franchise.

Lin would likely team up with his Fast Five screenwriter Chris Morgan to develop the fifth Terminator.

Interest in the property was allegedly reignited after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed that he intends to take up acting again following the end of his tenure as Governor of California.

The last movie in the series, 2009's Terminator Salvation, was directed by McG and starred Christian Bale as resistance leader John Connor. Schwarzenegger's T-800 made an appearance in a computer-generated cameo.
