Action-Adventure Terminator: Dark Fate

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Yeah not seeing the comparison between the recent Ghostbusters movies and Terminator ones myself. The latter movies were much more expensive and probably had bigger marketing budgets also so they struggled much more to turn a profit and quite clearly didn't with Dark Fate.

If Cameron was to actually DIRECT a new Terminator movie though, all bets would be off as you just don't bet against the guy.

But he isn't going to. He's not leaving Pandora

For me the biggest offender is Genisys. That one had a somewhat entertaining first act but it fell apart so badly afterwards.
The franchise works best when it leans into the horror more than the action.

I know it's unlikely but you never know. He might hand directing duties over to a new director for further Avatar movies after 3/4.

This doesn't have to do with Terminator specifically but your golden god hates you, nerds.

Even if Cameron directed another Terminator film I would be very sceptical. And I liked both Avatar films but they're just different beasts. What made T1 and T2 so special is not something I've seen from his movies in a long time. Some of those action set pieces in T2 still hold up so well today because they were shot in real locations with real stuntmen and it's different going back to doing that when you've been filming mostly with green screens in your slippers and the comfort of a studio for a few decades. I would never bet against Cameron in a financial sense and I'm sure a Terminator movie directed by him would make money, but does he have it in him still? The Avatar movies are their own separate thing and he does that thing very well.

If he had said anything else, it wouldn't be on brand.

It's like he's trying to single-handedly end the whole "Canadians are so nice" stereotype.

Love him or hate him, it's an absolute dick move to go out of your way to **** on your fans who are still buying your movies on physical media.

 

[DyeLorean]

Does Cameron know how to shoot live action at this point? If he does a Terminator movie is gonna look like Alita: Battle Angel.

I've said this before but make it low budget, make it horror. Give it to A24 or Neon. Go back to the first movie, make it a straight-out horror movie and release it in October. That endoskeleton is still scary as sh**. Just stop trying to make it into another big budget stravaganza.

I think after a decade or so on Pandora he might want to get back into the live action game and get outside. So he might be reinvigorated at that point.

The guy ain't getting any younger though.

I feel like it's going to be a reboot/remake new ideas all together that might not even be called terminator but in J.Cs mind it will be a "Terminator" story, terminator now just meaning a.i being dicks.

[TheVileOne]

You already killed John Connor!

 

[AndrewGilkison]

They've rebooted and butchered the Conners and the Arnold Terminator so many times at this point that they might as well start fresh with new characters.

I like what Cameron is talking about in regards to dealing with A.I., but lets get back to the anti-war aspect of this franchise and have something to say about it.

 

[Alien Anal]

It will probably be a better version of The Creator
