In an interview a few weeks back, “Terminator Salvation” director McG told us that he was hoping to bring back “Terminator 2” favorite Robert Patrick for a fifth film. When we caught up with the filmmaker recently, he elaborated on his sequel plans – including the wide-open ending of the new flick.

The ending to McG's newly rebooted Terminator franchise was leaked online late last year, apparently much to the chagrin of the studio and filmmakers.

Now that "Terminator Salvation" is just weeks away from theaters, McG can start thinking about the next sequel in the series -- and where Robert Patrick might fit in.

Even going back to Comic-Con in San Diego last year, director McG has not been committing to what his upcoming franchise relaunch Terminator Salvation would be rated, saying that Warner Bros' President of Production Jeff Robinov didn't care and just wanted McG to make the best movie he could. Ever since then, McG had cited The Dark Knight (PG-13), The Matrix (R) as two of the movies made under Robinov's regime that proved that that ratings don't really matter either way.

McG told SCI FI Wire at WonderCon in San Francisco on Saturday that he's still talking with Linda Hamilton about reprising the role of Sarah Connor in his upcoming Terminator Salvation and that he is also meeting with California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger next week about some possible involvement.
