We thought this franchise was dead and buried, James Cameron wants to revive it after Avatar 3!

Tireless James Cameron! Very busy with Avatar, the new sequel of which will hit our theaters on December 18, 2024, the filmmaker has indeed resumed writing for another of his franchises, Terminator!

Last December, James Cameron already mentioned that he was considering this project: “If I were trying to make another Terminator feature and maybe revive the franchise, I would focus on the AI ​​side and less on the crazy bad robots.“, he explained.It is under discussion, but nothing has been decided yet.“, he added.

James Cameron confirmed this project at the conference of new technology professionals, Dell Technologies World. “So James Cameron recently told the #DellTechWorld audience that he started writing a new Terminator 3 months ago, but he wants to see how the AI ​​develops before going any further.“, we can read on Twitter.

With Avatar 4 and 5 included, will James Cameron find the time to pursue this new Terminator-related project? A project that may also surprise you when you consider that the last parts did not have the expected success.

Recall that James Cameron met with phenomenal success with the first two Terminator films in 1984 and 1992. But the third opus, released in 2003 with Jonathan Mostow at the helm, was less convincing. The franchise was then revived in 2015 with Genisys and 2019 with Dark Fate (Alan Taylor and Tim Miller at the helm). Both were disappointing at the box office.
