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:
““If little planned is little sinned
But little need the grave distress.
What’s dying but a second wind?
How but in zig-zag wantonness
Could trumpeter Michael be so brave?””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
