James Cameron working on a new Terminator movie. He revealed it during Dell Tech Worldwide Conference, where he assured that the exponential growth of artificial intelligence such as ChatGPT inspired him to write a new script. The only “but” is that it takes some time to figure out where all the innovation we are currently experiencing is heading.
This isn’t the first time James Cameron has announced that he’s working on a new Terminator-related project. After the premiere Avatar: Water Sensethe director explained that he was actively negotiating – he did not specify with whom – to return to the franchise, with an artificial intelligence hook.
“If I had to make another Terminator movie and try to restart the franchise, which is actually being discussed, I would be more into artificial intelligence and not so much robots going crazy,” he said.
Terminator, one of the most successful action and science fiction film franchises.
James Cameron created the franchise when, with Gale Ann Hurd and Harlan Ellison, he wrote the screenplay for the 1984 film The Terminator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800, Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor and Michael Biehn as Kyle Reese. Then, in 1991, he released the second part, Terminator 2: Judgment Daywhich for many is much better than the first part.
Subsequent films, although Arnold Schwarzenegger was always involved, were not directed and written by James Cameron, and unfortunately the quality suffered significantly.
Last, Terminator 6: Dark Fatesaw the return of Linda Hamilton to the franchise with Tim Miller (dead Pool, Scott Pilgrim vs the World) as director and James Cameron as executive producer. But she did not have the desired success. In fact, there was tension between the director and Cameron due to last-minute changes to the script.
Finally, Miller, in an interview after the film’s premiere and commercial success, said, “I don’t want to be in a situation where I don’t have control again,” referring to Cameron’s intervention in the editing process in the set room. , montage after shooting.
For his part, James Cameron also had a lot to say about Tim Miller and the product he made. “I would say there were a lot of disagreements. And the blood from those creative battles is still on the walls. This is a film that was forged in fire. So yeah, but it’s a creative process, right?”
Terminator 6: Dark Fate’s terrible performance at the box office was the final reason for the decision to close the franchise for good, or later do reload full. Maybe that’s what Cameron is talking about, but this time he’s focused entirely on artificial intelligence.
