James Cameron Is “Struggling” To Get A New Terminator Film Going
“I‘ll be back!” – will you, Terminator, will you?
With Avatar: Fire and Ash a few mere months away, James Cameron has begun some early press for it and the controversy surrounding his next film outside of Avatar, namely Ghosts of Hiroshima, the adaptation of the book by writer Charles Pelligrino.
Of course, any interview with Cameron would of course bring up the subject of The Terminator, which has of course come bubbling back to the surface – with word that the filmmaker is working behind the scenes on a new film that would be more in keeping with “modern” technology.
But he said to CNN in an interview that he, so far, is struggling to come up with a new idea due to the world of technology and that writing “science fiction” has become harder since the 1984 and 1991 original films, saying:
“I’m at a point right now where I have a hard time writing science fiction. I’m tasked with writing a new ‘Terminator’ story. I’ve been unable to get started on that very far because I don’t know what to say that won’t be overtaken by real events. We are living in a science fiction age right now.”
Cameron did return to the franchise with 2019’s Terminator: Dark Fate, which, while better than the other sequels since Terminator 2: Judgement Day, was a box-office disappointment and grossed less than 2015’s Terminator Genisys worldwide ($261million vs Genisys’s haul of $440million).
Avatar: Fire & Ash opens in cinemas on December 19th.
