Twenty-six years after it blasted onto screens in the summer of 1991, James Cameron’s smash-hit Terminator sequel Terminator 2: Judgment Day has been given an immaculate clean-up and 3D conversion treatment for this missed-it-by-a-year anniversary release. Supervised by Cameron himself, the newly tweaked 3D effects are reason enough to see the film again, but does it still hold up after all this time? The short answer is yes. Yes, it does.
The plot, in case you somehow needed reminding, picks up ten years after the events of 1984′s The Terminator, with Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) locked up in an asylum, muttering about an imminent apocalypse, and future resistance leader John Connor (Edward Furlong) still just a snarky ten...

The new Terminator movie already has Deadpool director Tim Miller attached, with original director James Cameron producing. Now The Wrap reports that Captain Phillips and The Hunger Games screenwriter Billy Ray has been hired to rewrite the script for Paramount's new Terminator movie.
The new Terminator film will disregard all sequels produced after 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The new film will also act as a launching pad for a whole new cast of characters. Cameron previously said:
“This is a continuation of the story from ‘Terminator 1’ and ‘Terminator 2.’ And we’re pretending the other films were a bad dream. Or an alternate timeline, which is permissible in our multi-verse.”
Cameron wrote and directed the first two films in the franchise, he then stepped away before Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. Since then there have been three sequels and a TV show. Cameron goes on to say that...

After Terminator: Genisys stunk to high heaven, it looked like the iconic sci-fi franchise might finally be over. However, we should have remembered the T-800’s immortal words, as Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robot assassin will be back once again in the upcoming Terminator 6. Previously, original director James Cameron made clear that the new film would distance itself from the past three installments in the series by only acting as a sequel to T2: Judgement Day. Linda Hamilton will even reprise her role as Sarah Connor for the first time since the 1991 sequel.
On top of that, Variety is reporting that the project has just hired a new screenwriter in Captain Phillips scribe Billy Ray. Apparently handpicked by Cameron and Tim Miller, who’s set to direct, Ray will base his script off a story treatment by Cameron, Miller and David Ellison, the founder of Skydance Productions (the...

To this day, there are a handful of iconic roles associated with the immortal Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most recognizable (arguably) of those being the T-800. Having successfully catapulted the bodybuilder-turned-actor’s career into the stratosphere with 1984’s The Terminator, director James Cameron came back for another round in 1991 with Terminator 2: Judgement Day, sparking endless debate amongst the geek community in the time since as to which film is superior. Personally, I lean toward the original, but appreciate the merits of both.
As time has gone by, several sequels by way of other directors have debuted in cinemas, none of which garnered the acclaim of the first two installments. In fact, both Salvation and Genesys intended on kickstarting new multi-picture arcs, each of which obviously failed to do so. Furthermore, things didn’t go so well on the small screen, with The Sarah Connor Chronicles being cancelled by Fox after only two seasons.

It’s no secret that Hollywood has developed a peculiar fascination with TV adaptations based on the movies of old.
Quite often, those repackaged products crash and burn (see: Minority Report, Limitless, Crash), but there are exceptions to the rule. From The Exorcist to Fargo, Westworld to The Sarah Connor Chronicles, we’ve seen a whole host of dormant films find new life on the small screen, and if Eduardo Sanchez is to be believed, The Blair Witch Project could be the latest addition to the fold.
While appearing on the newest episode of Diminishing Returns (via Bloody Disgusting), Sanchez outlined his vision for a Blair Witch TV series. As co-director behind the 1999 classic, Eduardo Sanchez knows a thing or two about the goings on in Maryland Forest, and here, the filmmaker touches base on what a TV spinoff would look like:

There are plans for a new Terminator movie that will be released on July 26 of 2019. Unsurprisingly, said movie will be starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in one of his most iconic roles as one of the titular machines called the T-800. However, it is interesting to note that Schwarzenegger has stated that the new Terminator movie will be returning to the basics in a number of other ways, with examples ranging from Linda Thompson reprising her role as Sarah Connor to the new movie being a continuation to Terminator and Terminator 2 but not the three other Terminator movies that

With James Cameron involved with the next installment of Terminator films, fans seem excited about what is coming. It's an excitement we haven't felt in a long time because Cameron hasn't been involved with the creation of the previous movies. Now that the man who created the Terminator is back in the saddle fans are expecting great things.
James Cameron is developing the film alongside Deadpool director Tim Miller and they are developing a plan to continue the story that ended with Terminator 2. According to Arnold Schwarzenegger, they are taking steps to fix the broken franchise, and one of the things they are looking at doing is keeping things simple.
During a recent interview, Schwarzenegger talked about the next Terminator film with Business Insider, saying:
"I think [James] Cameron and Tim [Miller] came up with a concept where they can continue on with the T-800 but make a whole new movie.

James Cameron is one of the most acclaimed directors in the modern movie industry but this does not mean he does not face criticism. This is certainly the case for the comments he recently made about ‘Wonder Woman’. However, he has faced up to his critics and told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview that although he has caused controversy, he doesn’t regret it. He referred to the superhero as an ‘objectified icon’ and also commented that his heroines, Ellen Ripley and Sarah Connor, had set feminist principles that Wonder Woman does not adhere to in any way.

Now that James Cameron will be working with Deadpool's Tim Miller to get the Terminator franchise back on its feet with a new movie. Terminator fans are starting to hope for a good follow-up to Terminator 2: Judgement Day especially now that Arnold Schwarzenegger is coming back for this new Terminator entry along with Linda Hamilton reprising her role as Sarah Connor. Cameron says he lured Hamilton back into this science fiction world by saying that the new movie will remind the public what a badass action heroine Sarah is. Cameron recalled:
"Linda and I have a great relationship. We've stayed friends through the thick and thin of it all. And she is the mother of my eldest daughter. [They were married from 1997 to 1999.] So I called her up, and I said: 'Look, we could rest on our laurels. It's ours to lose, in a sense. We created this thing several decades ago. But,...

There are a lot of opinions worth doubling down on, but James Cameron picked the wrong fight when it comes to “Wonder Woman.”
Last month, the director of five “Avatar” movies dismissed the DC hit, declaring the superheroine “an objectified icon,” calling the picture “a step backwards,” and then trumpeting his own Sarah Connor from “The Terminator” movies as the ideal female heroes should strive for.

The Terminator director James Cameron causes a stir when he made comments, not once, but twice, claiming that his Sarah Connor was a better feminist role model than the Patty Jenkins/Gal Gadot Wonder Woman. Not only did Cameron anger plenty of fans, along with Jenkins herself, he also drew the ire of TV's Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter. Carter took to social media this week to warn Cameron to back off.

Wonder Woman herself isn't happy with comments James Cameron has made about the hit movie about the DC superhero.
Lynda Carter, who played the character in the 1970s TV show, shared a post on Facebook Thursday after a The Hollywood Reporter cover story featured Cameron doubling down on a previous critique he made of this summer's Wonder Woman.

It’s the Hollywood feud that no one saw coming. In late August, filmmaker James Cameron — who, of course, is known for his work with genuinely strong, unique female characters — came out against Patty Jenkins’ blockbuster “Wonder Woman” in a strange interview with The Guardian, in which he bemoaned “all of the self-congratulatory back-patting Hollywood” did over the film, deeming the praise “so misguided.” By his estimation, “She’s an objectified icon, and it’s just male Hollywood doing the same old thing” and a “step backwards.”
Now television’s original Lynda Carter has come out against Cameron, who recently double-downed on his thoughts in yet another new interview. She’s not happy, and we can’t blame her.

Paramount Pictures has announced that producer James Cameron and director Tim Miller's new Terminator film will be released on July 26th, 2019!
I know the last three Terminator films haven't turned out to be as good as fans hoped, but this next one actually has a good shot of being the Terminator sequel fans have been waiting for. That's mostly because of the involvement of Cameron, who seems to be working with a great team of talent.
On top of bringing the director of Deadpool on board, he's also brought in David Goyer (Batman Begins), Charles Eglee (Dark Angel) and Josh Friedman (Avatar sequels, The Sarah Connor Chronicles) as his writing staff. Then, of course, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton will reprise their roles!
The upcoming film will be a direct sequel to Terminator 2 and will ignore all of the other films that have been made since. Cameron previously said...

In a turn of events that will likely surprise nobody at all, the popular press has continued to question James Cameron on his response to Wonder Woman, and the director has continued to dismiss the hit film as regressive.
Despite Patty Jenkins answering Cameron’s original comments with her own rebuttal, The Hollywood Reporter has handed the microphone of public discourse back to the Titanic filmmaker, in an interview to promote the fact that he’s now in production on Avatar 2 and 3, while also preparing to shepherd Terminator 6 as screenwriter and producer.
“Yes, I’ll stand by that. I mean, she was Miss Israel, and she was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting. She’s absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me, that’s not breaking ground. They had Raquel Welch doing stuff like that in the ’60s. It was all in a context of talking...

The Avatar director spoke with The Hollywood Reporterin an interview published on Wednesday, where he doubled down on his criticisms of the hit superhero film, and said he'll "stand by" his controversial remarks.
The acclaimed director took a lot of heat last month when he spoke with The Guardian while promoting the remastered re-release of Terminator 2. Cameron said at the time that Wonder Woman had been getting too much credit for being a feminist film.

But unlike Salvation and Terminator: Genisys, the Powers That Be have an ace in the hole in Linda Hamilton, who’s all set to reprise the iconic role of Sarah Connor for Cameron and Tim Miller’s “three-film reinvention.” That’s not to say Hamilton has signed for all three instalments; word is that James Cameron and fellow series stalwart David Ellison want to pass the torch onto a whole new generation of characters. Think of how Star Wars handled the transition from Jedi to 2015’s The Force Awakens.
And so, in balancing the old with the new, Skydance’s sixth Terminator film will place Linda Hamilton and the returning Arnold Schwarzenegger at its core, with Cameron and Miller said to be casting the net in search of an “18-something young...

James Cameron Doubles Down on His Thoughts on Wonder Woman and Says it Wasn't a Groundbreaking Movie
Remember that time when James Cameron said that Wonder Woman was a step backward for female representation in films? A lot of people believe that the movie was a big step forward for women in film. Well, Cameron is back with a few new thoughts on the film doubling down on his previous comments, saying he didn't think there was anything groundbreaking about it. This is what he told THR:
"I mean, she was Miss Israel, and she was wearing a kind of bustier costume that was very form-fitting. She's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. To me, that's not breaking ground. They had Raquel Welch doing stuff like that in the '60s.

We now know when the Terminator franchise will be back, as Paramount Pictures has slated the sixth film in the sci-fi action franchise for a July 26th, 2019 release.
News of Paramount Pictures' 2019 release date announcement comes from multiple sources, including Variety. Cameron recently revealed at a private Terminator celebration that Hamilton is set to return alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger (who played the beloved T-800 in three Terminator films and a T-850 in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines) in the new Terminator movie, which is set to be directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) from a story idea by Cameron, who directed 1984's The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.

The new Terminator movie took a huge step forward recently by announcing that Linda Hamilton would return to the role of Sarah Connor for the upcoming series of films. The actress has not played the character since Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991 and fans were fairly confident Hamilton’s cyborg hunting days were done. James Cameron recently opened up about how he got Hamilton to return to... Read More...

Thirty-three years after Arnold Schwarzenegger burst onto the scene as a cyborg from the future, sent to eliminate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in “The Terminator”, the franchise is getting yet another reboot at the hands of “Deadpool” director Tim Miller and James Cameron who will serve as a producer. “It made sense for me to […]...

To this day, there are a handful of iconic roles associated with the immortal Arnold Schwarzenegger, the most recognizable (arguably) of those being the T-800. Having successfully catapulted the bodybuilder-turned-actor’s career into the stratosphere with 1984’s The Terminator, director James Cameron came back for another round in 1991 with Terminator 2: Judgement Day, sparking endless debate amongst the geek community in the time since as to which film is superior. Personally, I lean toward the original, but appreciate the merits of both.
As time has gone by, several sequels by way of other directors have debuted in cinemas, none of which garnered the acclaim of the first two installments. In fact, both Salvation and Genesys intended on kickstarting new multi-picture arcs, each of which obviously failed to do so. Furthermore, things didn’t go so well on the small screen, with The Sarah Connor Chronicles being cancelled by Fox after only two seasons.

2017-09-27T09:35:59-07:00James Cameron Doubles Down on Controversial 'Wonder Woman' Comments
James Cameron, director of The Terminator, recently reiterated comments he made weeks ago, when he said that this summer's hit Wonder Woman was a "step backwards" for women in film. The comments didn't sit well with the film's director, Patty Jenkins, or fans who saw Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman as a ground-breakingly empowered female lead character. Cameron, it seems, wants credit for creating the original empowered female hero in Linda Hamilton's supporting role (behind Arnold Schwarzenegger's lead) in The Terminator 2. He went on to explain that Gal Gadot is too attractive, and her Wonder Woman costume too "form-fitting," to qualify her as an innovative feminist role model. We're predicting that these new comments will not go over well, either.

“Wonder Woman” still isn’t wonderful to James Cameron.

Some interesting new details have surfaced regarding the plans for Arnold Schwarzenegger's character in the upcoming new Terminator films. During a recent interview with THR, producer James Cameron and director Tim Miller talked about how they will embrace Schwarzenegger's age in a different way than Terminator: Genisys.
The actor will be 71-years-old by the time they shoot the next Terminator movie and when talking about his age, Cameron said:
“You don’t have to get around it. The beauty of it is: He’s a cyborg. And so, the org part is on the outside, meaning organism. And Reese says it in the first film: ‘They sweat. They have bad breath.’ Because they were supposed to be infiltration units, so there’s this idea that flesh sort of sheaths over a metal endo-skeleton. So that would age normally. So, obviously he’s one that’s been in action...

With two Avatar sequels shooting back-to-back and a Terminator franchise to reboot, James Cameron doesn't have a lot of free time. And yet, the acclaimed director wasn't too busy to double down on controversial comments he made in August, in which he called Wonder Woman "a step backwards" and said the hero, played by Gal Gadot, was "an objectified icon." At the time, Cameron cited Linda Hamilton's Terminator character, Sarah Connor, as the ideal female protagonist, since she was not a "beauty icon." Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins responded to Cameron via Twitter, arguing that his "inability to understand what Wonder Woman is, or stands for, to women all over the world" was...

Between them, James Cameron (Avatar), David Ellison and former Deadpool director Tim Miller are stripping The Terminator down to the bare bones – or metallic frame, if we’re staying true to the topic at hand.
A “three-film reinvention” is on the cards, and James Cameron and Tim Miller recently sat down with The Hollywood Reporter to talk at length about their bold masterplan. It’s one that will not only welcome the return of series stalwarts Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (T-800/T-850), but also retcon the events of Terminator: Genisys, Alan Taylor’s botched reboot that was once angled as a bona fide franchise-starter before Paramount pulled the plug.
In fact, as Cameron stresses to THR, the sixth Terminator movie is a “continuation of the story” from T1 and T2: Judgement Day, and this laser focus will allow Miller’s reboot to pretend the other...

James Cameron is in the midst of perhaps his greatest undertaking yet as he begins to shoot two Avatar sequels simultaneously (with two more to come after that) while also working with director Tim Miller on what they hope will be a new Terminator trilogy. The particularly busy period comes as Cameron sparked a controversy in August after giving an interview in which he called Wonder Woman "a step backwards" and said the character, played by Gal Gadot, was "an objectified icon."

The Terminator series is making its third attempt at a trilogy. But would it be better as a one-off story, Ryan wonders...
Nb: The following contains spoilers for all the Terminator films released so far.

Genisys probably seemed like a good idea at the time. After the so-so critical and financial performance of Terminator 3 and Terminator: Salvation, the fifth entry in the series would, as far as its producers were concerned, take the saga back to its glory days: the nightmarish chases of The Terminator and the eye-popping special effects of T2, widely regarded as the franchise's high-water mark.

The Terminator is going back to the well.
James Cameron’s prized sci-fi series, one that has churned out five feature films to varying degrees of success since ’84, entered an unscheduled hiatus soon after the release of Genisys, which drastically underwhelmed across the board. Indeed, Alan Taylor’s planned trilogy-starter was such a dud that Paramount Pictures decided to scrap the series altogether, instead spearheading a hard reset with Tim Miller (Deadpool) and Cameron himself.
Fast forward to September of 2017 and The Terminator is fast beginning to take shape. Not only is Arnie back, back, back as that iconic cybernetic organism, but we’re also learning that Linda Hamilton has climbed aboard to reprise as Sarah Connor. And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, it’s being reported that Miller’s Terminator redo won’t acknowledge the botched Genisys whatsoever.

The future of killer robots is here.
James Cameron revealed during a recent private event that Linda Hamilton is attached to his and Arnold Schwarzenegger's planned reboot of the Terminator franchise, The Hollywood Reporterfirst reported.
In his remarks, Cameron highlighted the importance of Hamilton's tough and badass heroine, Sarah Connor -- who appeared in the franchise's first three films, as well as 2009's Termination Salvation -- returning for the reboot, noting that the aging acting hero is a trope usually only reserved for men.
"There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys,” he explained. “but there isn’t an example of that for women.”
In August, Cameron sat down with Et's Ash Crossan to discuss the future of the franchise, and how much the modern era of drones and artificial intelligence will shape the time-jumping, apocalyptic world.

The “Terminator” series may about to get even more confusing, which is quite a feat considering the last movie in the franchise completely rewrote the twisting time-travel story from the ground up. Linda Hamilton is set to return to the series, along with its original creator, Director James Cameron, and the original killer robot, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Hamilton starred in the first two films in the series as Sarah Connor, the mother of John Connor, the man who, in the future, would lead the human resistance against the evil sentient computer program known as Skynet. In the original “Terminator” film, Schwarzenegger’s Terminator.

The “Terminator” franchise is a confusing mishmash of time travel, altered pasts and adjusted futures. And in the latest movie, “Terminator: Genisys,” the entire timeline got rebooted and rewritten, making it even tougher to follow. Here’s a (somewhat) simplified look at all the “Terminator” timelines, arranged in true chronological order (as opposed to what a calendar would tell you). Timeline A: The Terminator arrives in 1984 (“The Terminator”) Arriving at the Griffith Park Observatory, the first Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) steals clothes from some punk thugs (including Bill Paxton in a cameo role), then heads into Los Angeles to find Sarah Connor.

One of movie's original badasses is returning to the brand she helped make famous! See below for more information on Linda Hamilton returning to the Terminator franchise!
She was only in two movies but it's apparent how vital Linda Hamilton's presence was for the Terminator franchise. After Terminator 2: Judgement Day (arguably the best one), the franchise took quite a hit with several flops, including Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and, more recently, Terminator: Genisys.
Now, 20th Century Fox, Skydance, and Paramount are at it again, but this time they plan on bringing back the original team to help revitalize the series. James Cameron was already brought on board to be a producer/consultant, while Arnold Schwartzeneggar seems always game for another Terminator revival, the only original member missing was Sarah Connor.

Movies have the wonderful ability to bring favorite characters back to life. Even many years later, it was nothing but pure joy when we saw Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Chewbacca (Peter Mayhew) board the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, later joined on screen by Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher) and -- spoiler! -- Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill). Just last week we heard that Jamie Lee Curtis will be reprising her iconic role as Laurie Strode in a new version of Halloween. Now another actress who first made her mark decades ago is joining the parade of beloved characters flocking back to the big screen.

A sixth Terminator movie is on the way, and it's already got quite the cast. Both of the stars from the 1984 original, Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, have agreed to return for the new installment. The Hollywood Reporter announced the exciting news at an event in La on Tuesday, where it was also revealed that the sixth movie will pick up where T2: Judgement Day left off, ignoring the three subsequent sequels. Hamilton hasn't appeared as Sarah Connor since 1991, but it definitely seems like the reboot is in good hands. James Cameron, who made the first two films in the franchise, wrote the story and is on board as producer, while Deadpool's Tim Miller is set to direct. The writers' room also included David Goyer (The Dark Knight), Charles Eglee (Dark Angel), and Josh Friedman (The Sarah Connor Chronicles). At the event in La, Cameron seemed to double...

She’s back (had to do it). The Hollywood Reporter reports that “Terminator” star Linda Hamilton will return to the seminal James Cameron franchise for the latest installment of the on-going sci-fi series. The outlet reports that Cameron himself made the surprise announcement at a private event for the franchise, telling attendees, “As meaningful as she was to gender and action stars everywhere back then, it’s going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she’s become return.”
Cameron also seems to be hopeful that the return of Hamilton as Sarah Connor — one of his, and the action world’s, best character creations — will bolster a genre still in need of change when it comes equal representation both in front of and behind the camera. He added, “There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys [in action films] but there isn’t an example of that for women.
