It was recently revealed that Terminator 5: Genesis is not a stand alone in the iconic franchise and will be followed by two more instalments which will be tied to the film.

The other two films that will complete the trilogy will be filmed back to back over a span of nine months, according to reports. No other details about how the plot will evolve and if the next two films will also be directed by Alan Taylor, have been given away.

What we do know about Terminator: Genesis is that it will feature time travel scenes to contextualise the film vis-a-vis the other fillms in the franchise. It seems like the franchise is going to Batman route in terms of pumping out modern day sequels and prequels, something Enstars had predicted last year.

"We all love the first two and I actually went back and watched them again and my respect level only went up for those first two," he said of The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The director went on to speak of a similar franchise being an inspiration for the fifth Terminator, suggesting that two films in the Batman franchise were "wonderful."
