This sounds kinda promising. Taken from The Telford Journal.
James Cameron has been working on Avatar 2 and 3, possibly an Avatar 4 as well… but during a recent trip to Britain, he has revealed to The Telford Journal his plans to remake Terminator after all of the upheaval and rewriting and poor reception of the sequels of his beloved franchise.
He has taken the project under his wing and will be remaking Terminator after he has finished with his current pet project Avatar.
The veteran director has said that a complete overhaul is in the works and a full on reboot will definitely be happening sometime within the next 15 years.
"The original two films initially came to me from a nightmare I had while I was sick with fever of all things.
After leaving the franchise for other projects I opened the door for anyone to take on the story and I showed little care to how loved the first two movies are. It also meant that my original ideas weren’t incorporated into parts 3 and 4.
I know there’s a current 5th instalment in the works for Terminator with another studio and other writers and so on, but whether or not that will ever get off the ground, nobody is really sure.
After seeing the previous two sequels and the television series, and the reaction by fans, I think it’s time to take the reins again and restart the whole thing over, from the beginning, with the original storylines I had planned twenty five to thirty years ago and bring The Terminator back to the big screen, and in a big way.
It will mean making more than one movie for sure, a remake of T1 and T2 and the storylines I had laid out all those years ago will more than likely have to be spread over at least five movies altogether.
The audience makes the films what they are and I’ve learned from that mistake. I’m going to give the audience and myself what we wanted in the first place."
Fans may also be pleased to know that technology created for Avatar and the new technology currently being developed for the Avatar sequels will play a fundamental part in making The Terminator Reboot… currently dubbed simply as Terminator.
