James Cameron has revealed the current dark title forTerminator 6. The director is out doing press forAlita: Battle Angel, which he co-wrote and executive produced. Cameron has been pretty chatty over the last week, giving information about his upcomingAvatarsequels, Alita and now the long awaited return to theTerminatorfranchise, which Cameron started back in 1984. In addition to the title news, Cameron gave some new information about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800 and how the times have changed Linda Hamilton’s Sarah Connor.
According toJames Cameron, theTerminator 6title isTerminator: Dark Fate. “That’s our working title right now,” says the director. As many would expect, the title is pretty bleak for the latest movie in the franchise, which will completely ignore the events of the last three installments and be a direct sequel toTerminator 2: Judgement Day. Tim Miller is on board to direct and Cameron is happy to let someone else do the heavy lifting for the project. The director says, “Tim’s a very willful and opinionated director, and he’s got his own ideas for the film.”
As forArnold Schwarzenegger’s T-800, he will be a lot different from the versions of the character that we have seen in the past. When the idea forTerminator 6was first being thrown around, Cameron remembers saying that he “can’t be involved in this film at all if Arnold (Schwarzenegger) is not in it.” The director was also the one responsible for bringing back Linda Hamilton. Cameron had this to say when talking about the new T-800.
“Arnold’s back and he’s bad… he’s a different Terminator than you’ve ever seen before, I mean literally he’s a different chassis number but he’s also a very different guy than you’ve seen before.”
Linda Hamilton is playing a different version of Sarah ConnorinTerminator 6. It appears the years afterTerminator 2: Judgement Dayhave not been too kind on the warrior. We’ve seen images of Hamilton from the set, fully armed, with co-stars Natalia Reyes and Mackenzie Davis, and she looks pretty angry. You can read what James Cameron had to say about Sarah Connor below.
“It’s hardened her, but in a way that made her much stronger.Maybe less likable, but stronger. And ultimately, she becomes a really important character in passing the baton to the new characters that come in. It’s a very female-centric film, which I’m glad Tim (Miller) embraced those themes.”
Terminator 6sounds pretty bleak with theTerminator: Dark Fatetitle. Though that title can change at any time between now and the release date, it seems fitting when looking back atJames Cameron’s work on the franchise. The movie hits theaters on November 1st, so there is a lot of time to go back and tweak things, including the title. you may head over toYahooto read the full interview with James Cameron.
