Cameron rejoins Terminator franchise
The “Terminator” franchise has had a rough time ever since director James Cameron departed. While those first two movies are considered to be cinema classics, the later three movies have ranged from okay to awful. The most recent entry, 2015's “Terminator Genisys”, was so poorly critically received that plans for a follow-up were scrapped, and the franchise has been dormant since. Now it's being reported that James Cameron is coming back into this world of killer robots to help end the series once and for all.
James Cameron will regain certain rights to the “Terminator” franchise in 2019, and according to Deadline, he's preparing to 'godfather' a new iteration of the movie that is described as both a reboot and conclusion to the series. While Cameron won't be directing the new “Terminator” movie, he's in early talks with “Deadpool” director Tim Miller to helm it.
James Cameron has cemented himself as one of the top Hollywood directors for movies like “Aliens”, “Titanic” and “Avatar”, but it was “Terminator” that put him on the proverbial map. Along with directing 1984's “The Terminator”, he also wrote the screenplay, and also wrote and directed “Terminator 2: Judgment Day”.
