TERMINATOR: James Cameron Has Started Writing New Movie But The Rise Of A.I. Has Given Him Pause For Thought

I would watch a movie with Arnold as a major who leads a group of surviving Marines during the early days post-Judgment Day. These men try to resist the first wave of Skynet. A killing horde of "primitives" T-100.

I don't understand why they are struggling so hard with this franchise.

They want to do something different? Something that every other Terminator movie hasn't done? It's so simple and it's right in front of their faces, yet no one can see it.

You take the main theme of the entire franchise, the inevitable war against the machines in the future, and you make that a trilogy. We don't need to see another Terminator movie in the present tell us the same exact thing they've been telling us for decades, that no matter what they do in the present, they can't stop fate. The war HAS to happen. This is the reason why the Terminator franchise is a time paradox. It's the entire reason SkyNet exists in the future before it was actually created in the past.

And I don't mean some Terminator Salvation BS. I'm talking far in the future, where the machines are using energy, the sky is burnt out from all the war, and the Terminator robots are straight up annihilating everything. The scene we saw in T2. MAKE THAT ffs.

Start with the humans sending Kyle Reese into the past as a "last ditch effort" to save the world. But don't show Kyle Reese's time in the past. We already saw that and how it played out. Instead, stay in the future and give them something to fight for while they hold out against the closk to see if Kyle Reese succeeds.

Then, at the end of the movie, they come to the realization that Reese succeeded since they still have their "savior", John Connor.

Then the other two movies can be about them sending their own Terminator back to stop the T-1000 from killing John and then coming to the hard realization that no matter what happens in the past, their war will always happen. Then focus on them having to overthrow the machines on their own.

Basically, it would be a series about what is happening in the future while we were watching the events in the past during T1, T2, and T3.

All the other Terminator movies after those can suck a fat one for all I care. They were all bad. Even T3 was bad, but it was at least relevant to the story.

Jesus H Christ, Cameron. Make that movie, for crying out loud.

I get it, it’s an IP and Hollywood gates to let go of IPs because that would force the striking hack writers to actually be creative and original….but There is nowhere else to go with the Terminator franchise.

They could have easily connected the loop in the movies with Terminator to T2, to T3, to Terminator Salvation which took us into the early period of the machine uprising and start of the resistance…but they never took us into the machine war which is what we wanted to see which should have ended with Kyle Reese being sent back to protect Sarah. That would have tied it all up neatly.

But let’s be honest, they should have stopped with T2.
I liked T3, but it wasn’t necessary, nor was anything else since then.

What if he uses ChatGpt for writing the script

AI should make it easier. Cameron should go all-in and just have that write a script for him and just finetune it himself
