Terminator: Dark Fate Director Tim Miller, and Linda Hamilton earlier spoke about how the movie will progress on from Terminator 2: Judgment Day in plot and Sarah Connor’s character arc.
Tim told EW…
“I know it’s hard for people to say, ‘Okay, it’s Terminator 6,’ but it really isn’t, and I hope we get that message out,”
Tim Miller
According to EW: “Tim Miller knows moviegoers are rightfully skeptical of a sixth entry in the long-running franchise, but the Deadpool filmmaker is urging fans to tap their feelings about the 1984 original and 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day. “
“It’s really a sequel to those first two stories — and it’s not your usual sequel. I think people are going to be surprised in the way that the story continues and it’s a little more back to basics of what Jim [Cameron] did; it’s not trying to compete with the giant Marvel movies…well, it is a little bit. [Laughs] Nobody is going to be disappointed by the action but it really is a return to character.”

Linda Hamilton speaks of the 3 sequels/reboots that she was not involved with and how they were lacking in character/character development, which is absolutely true…
“[Character] is something that I strongly felt was missing with the three since I did Judgment Day, you had so much action and taking everything and making it that much bigger, but there were no characters that you really cared about. And that obviously has to be the real thread that links my three movies together; you’ve got to have characters you care about or it’s all just a wash.”

Tim chimed in…
“Or it’s just explosions.”

What do you think about the marketing of Terminator: Dark Fate? We believe the marketing, so far, has left a lot to be desired but hopefully SDCC 2019 will give us something to get excited about… if this movie can’t do that (regardless of if you are positive about this movie or not) many will not part with their money.
