Terminator: Dark Fate (Tim Miller, November 1, 2019) Movie • Page 8

Who is a terminator animated series for?

 

Kids who saw the Terminator skins on Fortnite.

 

There just isn't much to build on. The first was great and the second inverted expectations, but the sequels have mostly just been 2 again.

Another upcoming project that expands on work you’ve previously done is Netflix’s Terminator Zero animated series. I’m curious if you have seen that one by chance


"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."

What’s your own Terminator stuff that you’re working on? I wasn’t aware of that.

"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."

 

Let it die man

 

Just reboot the original and make it a horror sci fi movie, stop repeating the same plot of T2 over and over again.

 

Yes. No reboots. Release a special edition blu-ray if you want but stop revisiting this property. It's already been massacred.

 

Just reboot it with new people and start over at this point.

 

I want another Terminator movie in the vein of Salvation that takes place fully in the future timeline.

 

I'd rather just have it end. There's nothing interesting about the robot future. It was always the story of Arnold and Sarah Connor that made it interesting.

 

I found the story/setting of Salvation very interesting; how the initial wave of SkyNet forced humanity into different clusters throughout the US/world, and how it forced humanity to use its ingenuity to come up with ways to fight back. I want to explore more of that world.

 

Terminator Zero, the new anime series on Netflix, explored how going back in time affected the timelines people were in. That the timeline you get sent to (going back in time), will remain separate from the one you came from, so if you manage to prevent Judgement Day, it will only affect the new timeline you're in, not the one you come from.

 

I think a lot of people miss this when it comes to high-concept stories. The human story is what matters.

 

I wish they’d make another horror movie like the original was.
