James
Cameron went out of his way to publicly to promote 2015’s Terminator Genisys but
the film did so poorly it almost killed the franchise. He had nothing to do with
the making of the film but pushed it anyway. But Cameron is producing the
upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate, which will ignore the films that followed
Judgment Day. In an interview with Flicks and the City (via CinemaBlend),
Cameron made it clear this is the closest thing we’ve gotten to the first two
films: “I think the best way to think about ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ is to think
about it as a direct sequel to Terminator 2, the third film in a series, if you
will. We’ll be continuing with Sarah’s story, John’s story, and the T-800
returns — a different T-800 with a very different role to play than what we’ve
seen before. I think, tonally, what makes this a direct sequel to T1 and T2 is
as much about the tone as it is about the narrative: its R rated, it’s grim,
it’s gritty, it’s fast, it’s intense, and it’s linear. The whole story takes
place in 36 hours. It’s not this kind of grandiose, complex story. It’s just
very focused on the characters, it’s very now, it’s very present and it’s just a
fast white-knuckle ride.” Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton return for
the new film with Sarah Connor in her new role as a Terminator hunter.
