The Terminator franchise course corrects this November with producer James Cameron and director Tim Miller‘s Terminator: Dark Fate, a direct sequel to T2 that ignores the muddled events of the other sequels. In this particular timeline, Sarah Connor changed the future and prevented Judgment Day, but what she didn’t realize is that she didn’t change the world’s fate.
Deadline just caught up with James Cameron in the wake of last night’s spectacular new trailer, and Cameron revealed that Dark Fate is intended to kickstart a three-film arc.
“We spent several weeks breaking story and figuring out what type of story we wanted to tell so we would have something to pitch Linda [Hamilton],” Cameron told the site. “We rolled up our sleeves and started to break out the story and when we got a handle on something we looked at it as a three-film arc, so there is a greater story there to be told.”
“If we get fortunate enough to make some money with Dark Fate we know exactly where we can go with the subsequent films.”
Will the film’s box office take warrant two follow-ups? We’ll find out on November 1, 2019.
