Terminator: Dark Fate[5] is the upcoming sixth Terminator film, and it is a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film will be directed by Tim Miller, with James Cameron serving as producer,[6][7] and will be released on November 1, 2019.[8] Alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and an all-new cast of characters, original Terminator 2 actors Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong will fully reprise their roles as Sarah and John Connor for the first time since 1991.

Synopsis

More than two decades after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) sets out to protect a young woman named Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) and her friends as a liquid metal Terminator (Gabriel Luna) sent from the future attempts to terminate them.[9]

Official synopsis:[10]

27 years after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, a new, modified liquid metal Terminator (Gabriel Luna) is sent from the future by Skynet in order to terminate Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes), a hybrid cyborg human (Mackenzie Davis), and her friends. Sarah Connor comes to their aid, as well as the original Terminator, for a fight for the future.

Official synopsis:[9]

Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (T-800) return in their iconic roles in Terminator: Dark Fate, directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool) and produced by visionary filmmaker James Cameron and David Ellison. Following the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Terminator: Dark Fate also stars Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta.

Plot

The film will be a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day.[11][12] It is the first film of a planned trilogy, though Cameron has stated that the prospects of the next two films will depend on how Terminator fares financially.[13]

Cast

Development

Genisys Sequel

A "Terminator 6" of sorts was conceived as being at least one of two sequels to Genisys, though was referred to as "Terminator 2" internally. This sequel was originally set for release on May 19, 2017.[20] It would have followed the story of John Connor after his conversion into the T-3000.[21] "Terminator 3" (a seventh film) would have followed on June 29, 2018.[20] Due to below expected box office returns and critical reception, the Genisys sequels were put on hold.[22] Paramount later put the franchise on hold,[23] and the planned "Terminator 2" and "Terminator 3" were both removed from Paramount's production slate.[24]

Reboot

In May 2017, Schwarzenegger stated that he would return for Terminator 6. With the rights to the franchise set to revert to James Cameron in 2019, it was stated that he would reboot the franchise.[25] In August 2017, it was confirmed that the film would begin filming in March 2018, with Tim Miller directing, and Cameron producing, and that it would be the first installment of a new trilogy, with the writers room consisting of Cameron, Miller, David Goyer, [Justin Rhodes], Josh Friedman and Billy Ray.[26][27] The idea to reboot the franchise came from David Ellison, who wanted to bring Cameron "back into the fold." According to Cameron, Ellison wanted "to go back to basics," namely returning to Terminator 2. A consensus emerged that the character of Sarah Connor would return only if Linda Hamilton returned to the role. Plotting out the story pitch took several weeks. The third, fourth, and fifth films were looked at as an example of what to avoid. According to Cameron, "one of the things that seemed obvious from looking at the films that came along later was that we would need to get everything back to the basics and that we would need to avoid the mistakes of making things overly complex and that we needed to avoid stories that jumps around in time and one that goes backward and forward in time. Let’s keep it simple in the relative unity of time. With the story, let’s have the whole thing play out in 36 hours or 48 hours. In the first two movies everything plays out in less than two days in each one so there’s energy and momentum."[1]

By April 2018, the trilogy proposal had yet to be greenlighted,[8] and pre-production began that month.[28] On June 19, 2018, Terminator seemed to have officially begun production under the working title "Phoenix" in Madrid, Spain, with Mackenzie Davis spotted on set with Natalia Reyes and Linda Hamilton on set the next day.[29] [30] On November 6, 2018, production on Terminator wrapped in Budapest. On February 9, 2019, James Cameron revealed that the new working title for the film was Terminator: Dark Fate. [31] On March 19, 2019 Paramount confirmed that to be the official title.[32]

The question as to whether the film would be R rated was a controversial one during development. In the end, Paramount agreed to an R rating. During early filming, scenes were left open for an R and non-R version.[1]
