James Cameron: ‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ has sense of abject terror

(FASTNEWS | COLOMBO) – Hollywood mogul James Cameron says his upcoming “Terminator: Dark Fate” deals with the threat of a human collision with artificial super-intelligence — a subject that seems less science-fiction at present as compared to 1984 or 1991.

Cameron’s “Terminator Dark Fate” brings back Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator and Linda Hamilton, as an older Sarah Connor, for yet another action-packed adventure.

Although “Terminator Dark Fate” is the sixth instalment in the franchise, it is being touted as a direct sequel to 1991’s “Terminator 2 Judgement Day”. The film ignores the events of the three films that released in between.

Cameron describes “Terminator Dark Fate” as a direct sequel to “Terminator 2”.

“It has the same intensity, the same take-no-prisoners feeling and sense of abject terror,” Cameron said.

“The first film was supposed to scare the crap out of you about a possible dark future and the survival of a girl that we come to care about. This film, like the others, deals with the threat of a human collision with artificial super-intelligence, which is a whole lot less science-fiction today than it was in 1984 or 1991,” he added.

Directed by Tim Miller, “Terminator Dark Fate” will release in India on November 1 in six languages English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
