LOS ANGELES— The “Terminator” is coming back.

Paramount announced Thursday that it is rebooting the “Terminator” franchise and planning for a new trilogy of films, but it’s keeping mum on whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would play a role.

Schwarzenegger starred as the title character in the original 1984 movie. It spawned a trilogy that earned more than $1 billion at the box office worldwide.

Paramount says it will release the new “Terminator” in July 2015.
