Good for him.
Matt'll be the "quirky but loveable British genius scientist, half brother to our lead character, John Connor, who invents the time travel device and accidentally lets Skynet have it too".
Fingers crossed it will be better than that.
Terminators are cool
Tesalectas are cooler - http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120319043206/tardis/images/5/52/Teselecta_transforms.jpg
Nobody in Hollywoodland has any idea how to continue a movie series after James Cameron's done with it! It's not just Terminator, even Ridley Scott didn't know how to do an Alien (sort of) prequel.
I just think there's not an awful lot left you can do with the Terminator franchise, at least not if they're shoving Arnie back in. It could be interesting if he played a human role which the Terminator was based on or something similar, but by the sounds of it they're trying to rely on the nostalgia and success of the first two films by sending him back to the same time. I'd rather they just continued on from Salvation (which admittedly wasn't great, but better than the third), and gave audiences the future war we see in T2 instead of travelling back in time again.
I suppose we'll see, hopefully I'll be proven wrong and it'll be great!
(Also, Prometheus... Oh God...)
As the rights revert back to Cameron in 2019 if they are going to churn out a trilogy they need to do it quickly
