We’ll file this one under “Well, that would be nice” for now. Deadline is reporting that James Cameron, who regains certain rights to his prized creation The Terminator in 2019, is godfathering a new iteration of the film that might finally get it right in drawing a close in the battle between humans and Skynet.

Sources said that Cameron, whose copyright reversion happens 35 years after the release of the 1984 classic, is in early talks with Deadpool director and VFX wiz Tim Miller to direct a reboot and conclusion of one of cinema’s great science-fiction tales.

David Ellison, whose Skydance co-financed Terminator Genisys, is bankrolling an exploratory effort that includes engaging some top-flight science-fiction authors to find the movie creatively. Ellison still holds many Terminator rights, after his 2013 acquisition from sister and Annapurna principal Megan Ellison. She bought them in 2011 at Cannes for $20 million.

In reality anything could happen between now and 2019. I mean, within that time a machine could conceivably be sent back from the future to trigger the apoca… oh, wait.

Hint though… WE WANT THIS GUY!

NOT THIS GUY! Put that CG to work, guys! We know you can do it!
