James Cameron working on a new Terminator movie

[neatoman]

Looking on Wikipedia, the only piece of Terminator media planned for the future is an animated series for Netflix. For now, there are seemingly no plans for any theatrical or live-action releases, the franchise is pretty much dead when it comes to it's typical form. There are obviously going to be comics, but what franchise isn't capable of getting comics printed.

That said, I don't believe Dark Fate will actually be the last Terminator movie. Terminator 7 will probably pretend Dark Fate didn't happen along with all the other sequels after 2, the same way every other sequel after 2 pretended there weren't any other sequels after 2. It probably won't be until 2025-2026 or later but someone will be foolish enough to make another one.

Spoiler:

Of course, Arnold will be about 80 when another one comes out, meaning we'll probably just see digital recreations like in Salvation eventually.

There is also a new Terminator game in the works.

Yeah but that kind of falls into the same category as the comics. Video games aren't exactly as cheap to make as comics but they can still be a hell of a lot cheaper than movies, depending on what kind of game it is of course.

Now it's James Cameron's turn. He now assumes all blame for the movie failing himself because he insisted that Arnold be in it. Or rather, because Arnold AND Linda were in it, that it was because it was too overall geriatric as a result. Not because the movie was bad:

Wrong James.. it was a bad movie because bad ideas made it into the script, therefore it became a bad movie. I think that Tim Miller came forward and admitted that he messed up.

Some time back, I read an article that Cameron wasn't present with Miller during the production of Dark Fate. The credibility of the article remains uncertain.

Plenty of articles and interviews downplaying James' involvement. And no, he wasn't on set. Basically he was paid juuuust enough money so they could put his name on it, give him veto power on every aspect of the script (which he didn't really utilize), and give Tim notes on various things (mostly just pacing). Mostly he insisted Arnold be in it, gave Tim notes to speed things up, and then he just stood back and let him do whatever.
