James Cameron says he is working on a new "TERMINATOR" project - "I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with (Netflix's Terminator Zero). It’s totally classified."
James Cameron says he is working on a new "TERMINATOR" project - "I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with (Netflix's Terminator Zero). It’s totally classified."
The Oscar-winning director doesn't hold back in a new interview touching on a host of Cameron-verse subjects, including 'OceanXplorers' and a secret 'Terminator' project.
Knowing Cameron, he's probably working to implement and build real terminators, then plans on releasing them and making the next release more of a "docu-drama".
You know, for realism.
19Still might be better than the recent movies.

Wasn't the last good Terminator product released in '91? I hope this one's good, but it'll have to be really good to entice people put off by all the cash-grabs...
10Hell no. Terminator 3, Salvation, Genisys, Dark Fate, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles all had their moments, and I can’t honestly say I hated a single one.
It’s been 30 years since T2 came out. Either you’re still engaged with the franchise and interested the newer films or you’re not. Comparing everything to T2 forever is pointless, just like it’s pointless to compare every new Alien entry to Aliens or every new Star Wars entry to Empire.
I personally like how every entry in the franchise has tried so hard to retcon itself as a sequel to T2 that it’s turned into a Doctor Who style timey wimey kudzu plot, but maybe that’s just me.
9I'd say that Terminator Dark Fate was pretty good - and that was 2019. If you're a fan of T1 and T2 (like most people), I feel like it's worth calling Dark Fate T3 and ignoring most of the other stuff.
1I really don't mean to offend but that's the problem with shitty franchises: even the vocal supporters say it's "okay" or "pretty good". Is that really the bar!?

I would be interested in seeing a reimagining of the Terminator for modern day. A whole new movie that takes place in a different timeline where the original story never existed.
I have no interest in the where the story of the current franchise has gone.
6can we just let franchise films die before being milked to death?
5I was discussing this recently with someone. I feel that as the franchise continues, their good action films but bad Terminator stories. Genisys was the low point for me so far.
It feels like the Star Wars problem, we've had nine films based around the Skywalker's and look how that ended up. I feel that Terminator needs to drop the John Connor anchor and approach from a different angle
I know John Connor is the centre of the franchise lore but I feel we've exhausted that avenue of story telling. Although I just remembered they killed him off in the beginning of Dark Fate but that film still had issues.
4I’d wonder what’s prompted this. Is it the recent AI tech hype? If so, revisiting some AI apocalypse material might not be the worst idea right now however tired the franchise might be.
2Interesting
