Mono-monikered fratboy director McG has already talked about the possibility of a “Terminator 5” with “T2” super villain Robert Patrick (dunno about you, but he just seems creepy) in tow. And Patrick confirms they’ve been discussing the idea. “Yeah, he talked to me about it, I’m interested,” he said, but vaguely cautioned that he’s not cashing checks or going out to buy a new house in advance. “We’ll see what happens. The sci-fi genre, and specifically that character, is something I’m very proud of. It’s what broke me out big to the world. And it’s a character that I’ve lived with ever since, and I kind of carry it with me everywhere I go, for good or bad. So it’s obviously something that’s very dear to me and real special to me. That was a real special time. That franchise means a lot to me.” [Fearnet]
