Terminator reboot being planned by James Cameron

Terminator reboot being planned by James Cameron

Mind you, nothing's set in stone yet.

Filmmaker James Cameron has expressed his interest in returning to Terminator for a reboot of the iconic action films. I'm not against it, you know.

You'd think that Cameron has his hands full for the next decade. Avatar 2: The Way of Water premiered last week, Avatar 3 is apparently "95%" complete with a nine hour runtime at the moment, and the first act of Avatar 4 has been filmed. Nevertheless, Cameron has been clear that the existence of Avatar 4 and 5 is dependent on the financial success of the second and third films. Given that Avatar 2 is flagging, raking in $555.9 million at the box office with an aim of reaching $1 billion in the new year, the director might be freed up to follow a potential Terminator reboot.

Check out the trailer for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, coming to PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S, here!

Appearing on the SmartLess podcast, Cameron admitted that he has been ruminating on a reboot of one of the most impactful franchises of the '80s. "If I were to do another Terminator film and maybe try to launch that franchise again, which is in discussion, but nothing has been decided, I would make it much more about the AI side of it than bad robots gone crazy," he expounded.

One thing is certain - whatever Cameron does next, it'll be bigger, better and more bombastic than the previous. Those wishing for a much more introspective examination of synthetic intelligence, robotics and dystopian futures in this hypothetical Terminator reboot will be left wanting.

“I’m way over this whole thing, this question that I get asked all the time,” responded the director in an interview with GQ in November. “‘Don’t you want to just make a little movie with just a couple of actors?’ It’s like: Yeah, I make that movie every time I make a big movie. On a given day I might be doing a scene with two actors in a room, me handholding the camera. How is that any different than the smallest independent film? It’s just that maybe the next day I’m doing a battle with 40,000 people. I like to do that too.”
