‘Avatar: the feeling of water‘ swipes the cash register. The numbers seem favorable for the new movie from the director responsible for two of highest grossing movies ever but on the other hand we stop the presses as James Cameron talks about a possible reboot of Terminator with a fundamental change in its approach.
“If I did another Terminator movie and maybe try to relaunch the franchise, which is being talked about, but nothing’s been decided yet, I would focus much more on artificial intelligence than bad robots gone mad“, the filmmaker responded to the podcast SmartLess (through damn disgusting).
The saga that James Cameron started in 1984 with the powerful ‘Terminator’ and supported in 1991 with the unbeatable ‘Terminator 2: The Final Judgment’has already had a good collection of frustrated revivals, with and without Arnold Schwarzenegger. Neither the canonical “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines” (Jonathan Mostow, 2003) nor the prequel “Terminator Salvation” (McG, 2009) served to revive the fever.
He tried again by reframing his own story with “Terminator Genesis” (Alan Taylor, 2015) and, ignoring its existence, with “Terminator: Dark Fate” (Tim Miller, 2019), Linda Hamilton recovering herself, total hero and one of the fundamental actresses who succeeded in action films.
“The truth is that I am quite satisfied with the movie. Tim (Miller) and I had our battles and we both talked about it, but the crazy thing is we’re still friends,” he says of “Terminator: Dark Fate.” it and it had survived with Arnold in it, but if you put Linda and Arnold together… You know, she was 60, he was 70, and suddenly it wasn’t a Terminator movie for grandparents“.
“Linda wasn’t just a girl who made action movies, she raised the bar in action movies with heroines,” said Schwarzenegger in full promotion. “She became an inspiration to other actresses who followed her, but she’s unique. It’s incredible to see her with me now in ‘Dark Fate,’ in her sixties and kicking.”
None of this worked, but of course Terminator is too sweet a name for a Hollywood that needs blockbusters and we’ll be seeing a new title soon. The tricky thing about this whole thing is that Cameron signs on as more than just a producer and unless ‘Avatar 2’ is one of the flops of the yearwill the Canadian be busy in the coming years with the already filmed ‘avatar 3‘ (2024) and the future ‘Avatar 4’ (2026) and ‘Avatar 5’ (2028).
