Planned Projects
On April 27 of 2011, he was announced as the director for the next installment of the Terminator series, with the CAA as being the new distributors and potentially Arnold Schwarzenegger back in the role as The Terminator. Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures won the rights to this Terminator film and the next installment as well. On September 2011 Lin exited the project because production for the film has been moved up to late 2012 and Lin was already scheduled to be at work on Fast and Furious 6 since the film is set to be released on May 24, 2013. Lin said that he is willing to return to direct Terminator 5 if producer Megan Ellison waits to start production after he is finished with Fast and Furious 6.
Lin was also in talks to direct a reboot of the 1986 film Highlander, but exited the project due to scheduling conflicts with Fast and Furious 6 aka Fast Six. However, Lin will remain as an Executive Producer on the film.
He has also been in talks to direct the feature film adaptation of David Henry Hwang's play, Chinglish.
In November 2012, it was announced that Lin planned to direct a sci-fi film entitled "Hibernation".

Famous quotes containing the words planned and/or projects:
“Once I planned to write a book of poems entirely about the things in my pocket. But I found it would be too long; and the age of the great epics is past.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“One of the things that is most striking about the young generation is that they never talk about their own futures, there are no futures for this generation, not any of them and so naturally they never think of them. It is very striking, they do not live in the present they just live, as well as they can, and they do not plan. It is extraordinary that whole populations have no projects for a future, none at all.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
