The folks over at Den of Geek have just revealed the cover (find it below) of their 2019 San Diego Comic-Con special edition magazine, which features an exclusive look at director Tim Miller‘s Terminator: Dark Fate. The issue will be distributed in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter throughout the duration of SDCC as well as online at denofgeek.com.
Den of Geek’s cover story on Dark Fate also features insights from Miller and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis and Gabriel Luna, along with a couple new images from the movie. In the James Cameron-produced film, Arnold is back as the T-800 and Hamilton returns as Sarah Connor, the iconic duo teaming up with Davis’ character to save a young woman (Natalia Reyes) from a new Terminator (Luna). Miller describes the character Davis is playing as an “augment,” an enhanced human being, while also teasing Arnold’s role.
“This version of Arnold is something that Jim has been thinking about for a long time,” Miller told the outlet. “I think it’s a really great way for him to come back to the franchise. I understood the other movies and the way they handled him, but I didn’t want to do that again. I really thought that the way to do something unique for this film was to have Arnold’s backstory and the way he interacts with the rest of the characters be something we hadn’t seen from that character before… but I also think it has the expected amount of Arnold kicking ass.”
“I would say [this movie] is huge action-wise,” Schwarzenegger himself told Den of Geek. “I was very satisfied with the ideas and the big action that this movie has. It’s really wild.”
“I don’t feel like I’m changing the mythology,” Miller also noted in the interview. “I think it’s a continuation of the cause and effect that [James Cameron] set up in the other Terminator movies—which is simply if you make a change in the past, it will change the future. So you have to expect that what happened before, or the history that Sarah had been told of the future, was going to change. I don’t look at it as changing mythology. I look at it as the natural outcome of the set of rules that Jim established in the first two movies.”
