James Cameron Prepares to Write New Terminator After Avatar Promotion

He says rapid advances in artificial intelligence complicate updating the franchise.

Overview

  • Cameron told io9 he has a thick stack of notes and plans to start writing once Avatar: Fire and Ash marketing wraps in about a month.
  • He said science fiction has been overtaken by real-world technology and he aims to "future proof" any story by looking a few years ahead.
  • He signaled uncertainty about immediate timing as he weighs the project against other options on his slate.
  • Other projects under consideration include a World War II film centered on the atomic bombs, an adaptation of The Devils, and additional Avatar sequels.
  • During the same press rounds, coverage noted that Arnold Schwarzenegger previously said he is done playing the T-800, according to past comments reported by THR.
