By Filmmaker James Cameron has revealed he’s working on a new “Terminator” project.
Cameron famously directed the first two films in the sci-fi action franchise but since then has mostly been hands-off until 2019’s “Terminator: Dark Fate” where he did return as a producer.
Cameron is currently out with media promoting his new NatGeo documentary “OceanXplorers” when THR asked him about the “Terminator” franchise – more specifically the upcoming “Terminator Zero” anime series launching later this month on Netflix.
He says he’s not involved in it but does find it interesting and during his answer came the bombshell:
“It looks interesting. My relationship to that is very much like ‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles’ – other people spinning stories in a world I set in motion is interesting to me. What’s their takeaway? What intrigued them about it? Where are they going with it? It looks like they’re going back to the root cause of Judgment Day – the nuclear war – and whether that’s an ultimate timeline.
I’d be curious to see what they’ve come up with. I’m working on my own ‘Terminator’ stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with that. Like with ‘The Sarah Connor Chronicles,’ they occasionally touched on things I had been playing with completely independently. So there’s some curiosity there. It’s not a burning curiosity, but, obviously, it’d be nice to see it succeed.”
After dropping that quote, the trade had to understandably ask him what he could say about what that ‘own Terminator stuff’ he’s working on right now is. He says:
“It’s totally classified. I don’t want to have to send out a potentially dangerous robotic agent if you were to talk about it, even retroactively.”
Whatever it is, Cameron isn’t going to direct as he’s committed to helming three more “Avatar” movies and reiterating in the new interview he’s still committed to directing the fourth and fifth films himself.
