Could Vin Diesel Make An Appearance In Terminator 5?
I was lucky enough to attend the Fast Five junket in Rio over the weekend (can I get a hell yeah!?) where I spoke to both cast and crew about the very-fun Oceans Eleven-esque installment of that very, very popular series (the people of Rio went cwazy for Vin, Rock and Paul and fair enough!).
Justin Lin, the films director, was recently reported to be up for directing duties on a new Terminator film for Universal, and almost immediately rumours began to swirl particularly at the junket that Vin Diesel might be in line for a role in the film. Fair assumption, after all, Vin and Justin are not only good friends but theyve now worked together several times (if you include Vins cameo in Tokyo Drift) and are already planning to work together again.
While Lin is open to the idea of his Fast lead taking on Skynet, the only person he has approached so far about Terminator 5 is Arnold Schwarzenegger. Still, its not out of the question.
Vins been a really great partner on this franchise, Lin says of the duos involvement in the Fast series. Weve talked about the mythology [of the Terminator series]
[pause] hes a great guy and a great actor. I really like working with him so anything I do I usually talk to him about. Sometimes we even talk about going back and doing a little indy movie.
So can we expect Vin in T5 or not!?
You never know, says an unrevealing Lin.
