Arnold Schwarzenegger will be returning to the franchise, presumably as one of the titular robots. Speaking at a fan even at the Arnold Sports Festival​ in Columbus (via The Arnold Fans), Schwarzenegger was very optimistic about the shoot and gave some new details about locations and his thoughts on the script.

"We start filming in the middle or in the end of April and it will be a four or four-and-a-half month long shoot. We will be filming it in New Orleans with some of it in San Francisco and maybe a little of it in LA but most of it will be done in New Orleans. I'm really looking forward to that because as you know, the last time when they did the Terminator, it was when I was Governor and so I couldn't be in that movie but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film... The script is fantastic so I'm really looking forward to this film."

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, the new Terminator will also star Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, and Jai Courtney. David Ellison will produce with Laeta Kalorgridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry) attached to write the screenplay.​

Set to be directed by Thor: The Dark World's Alan Taylor, the film will open in theaters on July 1, 2015.

Terminator Reboot fresh off the...net news

I has been reporting by Production Weekly, that the upcoming Terminator film may have its title. The site reports that "Terminator: Genesis" is the current name for the project, however, the site notes that a pre-production title is only that- pre production, and may therefore undergo a change.

 Casting is still coming together for the film which is said to also be looking for a new John Connor and Kyle Reese. It's reported that the production is concentrating on casting Sarah before any of the other roles with Brie Larson and Emilia Clarke said to be the frontrunners.

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, Terminator will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalorgridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry) are attached to write the screenplay.

The Alan Taylor-directed film is slated to hit theaters July 2, 2015

"In exciting news for fans of the Terminator films series, it looks like the rebooted movies aren't the only projects in the works.
The sci-fi franchise looks set to make its return to the small screen with plans for a series to run alongside the new Arnold Schwarzenegger-led film reboot.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the producers behind the upcoming fifth movie in the series want Thor and X-Men: First Class writers Zack Stentz and Ashley Miller to write and executive produce the series.
The two projects would run alongside each other, with their respective narratives reportedly breaking off after a critical moment form the original Terminator movie.
From there, the stories would intertwine as they both progress, giving fans a unique way of enjoying the reboot."
