As much as we enjoyed Terminator Salvation, there’s no denying it’s about as far from the original Terminator’s low-budget roots as Twilight is from Van Helsing.

So, for Terminator 5, we’d like the studio to step aside and allow the series to travel back in time to where it first came from – allowing an independent auteur to take charge of the franchise.

Here’s some suggestions for independent filmmakers we think are made for Terminator. They won't cost much.

Gaspar Noé

Why He’s Right For It: For one thing, he wants to do it. Noé  told us in Cannes that he’d love to make Terminator 5 his next movie.

Which is a bit weird, considering the flick he was promoting at the time was Enter The Void, which is essentially a DMT trip in film form and one of the weirdest experiences we’ve ever endured.

Still, Irreversible was a time travel movie in a way, wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? Wasn’t it? Guys?

How His Terminator Film Might Look: John Connor, fed up of fighting cyborgs all day and shouting all night, decides to kick back with the crack pipe his wife gave him for his birthday.

That’s the opening 30 seconds. The rest of the movie is a constant pulsing strobe light, which only very occasionally cuts to images of a T-800 having sex with a T-850 and a giant robot rat that keeps shouting “I’ll be back. I’ll be back. I’ll be back.” over and over again.

How Much He Could Make It For: We’re not sure, how much does a crack pipe, a strobe light, a smoke machine and some tin foil cost these days? Let’s just say £30.

Is He The New James Cameron? Strong, single-minded and the bravest filmmaker in his home country. He’s got potential.
