The Terminator is back. 

The Sci-fi Action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger that launched in 1984 with The Terminator and launched a global phenomenon is getting new life from Paramount Pictures. 

The time hopping, cyborg assassin spawned two sequels in 1991's Terminator 2: Judgement Day and 2003's Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines featuring Schwarzenegger as the 'Terminator'. 

A prequel movie was made in 2009 called Terminator: Salvation that starred Christian Bale (Batman) as humanity's savior John Connor. 

The 'Terminator' films have earned over $1 billion since the original release.

In the statement made by Paramount Pictures, this new trilogy will be a stand alone, so it doesn't have to tie in to the original movies.

Here's the official press release from Paramount Pictures:

"Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted "TERMINATOR" movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.

The first in a stand-alone trilogy, "TERMINATOR" will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalorgridis ("Avatar," "Shutter Island") and Patrick Lussier ("Drive Angry") are attached to write the screenplay.

Launched in 1984 with star Arnold Schwarzenegger as the title character, "TERMINATOR" spanned 3 subsequent films, which have earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.

David Ellison most recently executive produced, along with his partners at Paramount, "World War Z," "Star Trek Into Darkness," "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol". A 5th installment of in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise is in active development, along with a 3rd film in the "G.I. Joe" franchise, among other films.

Megan Ellison most recently produced the Academy Award®-nominated "Zero Dark Thirty," "The Master" and executive produced "Spring Breakers" via her Annapurna Pictures banner and has David O. Russell's "American Hustle," Spike Jonze's "Her," and Bennett Miller's "Foxcatcher" set for release later this year."

The big question, of course, is will Schwarzenegger make an appearance in the new films? No word on that yet. 

This is just the beginning. With two years before the release, there is plenty of time for more details to come out. Sci-Fi fans can just be excited about the new movies and hope that they are done well.
