So, by now you should have seen Terminator: Dark Fate and, well, the movie is most likely going to be remembered for one scene in particular -and that is the death / termination of John Connor.
Seeing as Terminator: Dark Fate touted itself as being the true sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a young version of Edward Furlong’s John was brought to life by the use of CG trickery to make audiences witness the on-screen death of a beloved character from one of the most successful sequels of all time.
So what did Edward Furlong actually think of this?
Youtuber, and fan, Alex Leyba was lucky to get some time with Edward at a recent convention and the result was some honest thoughts from Edward…
“They smoked my ass. That’s what they did right? That was the role. I went in there… I did it for a day, I shot for one day. And, yeah, we did some CGI. They paid me. So, I mean, ya know. It kinda bums me out. Cause I’d love to do a whole one and make a shit-ton of money. Yeah, I would love to do more, but we’ll see what happens.”

While Edward is hardly ecstatic about the demise of his role in Dark Fate; he did get paid and he did participate, even if only for a day – if he had been totally against it he could have refused to participate in the performance capture.
