TERMINATOR: DARK FATE Sees A Fate Unresolved In The Brand New Trailer
The last three Terminator films might have been a chore for fans and the producers and filmmakers involved in the saga. As of several years ago, that didn’t stop franchise auteur James Cameron from trying wean away at the possibilities with Skydance’s David Ellison for a new film. Geoff Boucher covered this topic intricately in a Deadline exclusive on Thursday on the eve of a brand new trailer now online for Deadpool director Tim Miller’s new film, Terminator: Dark Fate.

Michelle Yeoh Joins The AVATAR Franchise

An official title may yet be pending unless that’s the title Walt Disney Pictures goes for after acquiring all of 20th Century Fox’s properties as of last month. What is official, however, is the addition of actress Michelle Yeoh following her recent appearances in Crazy Rich Asians, CBS All Access series Star Trek Discovery, and Yuen Woo-Ping’s Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy.

Deadly Games And Discoveries In The All-New ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL Official Trailer
If you were to tell me last December that Robert Rodriguez’s latest gamble with live-action manga filmfare Alita: Battle Angel was going to eventually pull me in by it’s release, I’d stop short of telling you to have your head examined before long. Undoubtedly, there’s no question that 20th Century Fox’s first teaser at the time didn’t exactly do wonders for folks of my mindset who felt this film lost its way from a Pixar release. Fast forward nearly a year and two trailer pitches later and the studio has rolled out a new trailer that clearly indicates some ample improvements have been made on the VFX front. Rodriguez takes from Kishiro Yukito’s classic manga and features mo-capped actress Rosa Salazar in the title role of an abandoned cyborg brought back to life by a compassionate doctor who sees her potential in lieu of her mysterious past as it catches […]

Cameron And Miller Discuss The TERMINATOR Reboot; Plots A Summer 2019 Release
I’ll be the last person to invest in any upheaval between filmmakers as much as those keen on what sci-fi auteur James Cameron has to say this week pertaining to Wonder Woman – except that I absolutely had fun seeing it this summer and I’m looking forward to the sequel. For this, we turn to more pertinent news regarding the current progress he’s now making with director Tim Miller on the future of the forthcoming Terminator trilogy finale. Cameron is currently at the helm for a slate of Avatar sequels through 2025 but is also assisting Miller for the ambitious new Terminator trilogy starring actor Arnold Schwarzenegger whose title portrayal of the time-traveling cyborg killing machine from the future made him a household name between 1984 and 1991 with The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day. He’ll be joined once again by actress Linda Hamilton who will reprise her role […]
Tim Miller’s TERMINATOR Reboot Brings Linda Hamilton Back As Sarah Connor
Coming off of a ceremonial run at the box office with a 3D limited re-release of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, James Cameron’s continuing efforts toward resusitating the franchise have advanced through its latest milestone in being actress Linda Hamilton back to the screen. Deadpool helmer Tim Miller is directing the new movie aiming as a direct follow-up from Cameron’s 1991 action blockbuster headlined by Hamilton along with lead actors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Furlong, essesntially skipping the films between 2003 and 2015. Hamilton’s return will mark her first foray back into the franchise since starring in Cameron’s 1984 hit sci-fi thriller with Schwarzenegger and actor Michael Biehn and its sequel in which Robert Patrick also stars. Cameron had a hand in writing both movies in which the actress stars as Sarah Connor, a waitress whose chance meeting with a soldier from the future and their first confrontation with a killer […]

James Cameron’s blockbuster smash hit, Terminator 2: Judgment Day 3D, is heading back to theaters in North America in ceremonial fashion on August 25. However, on the chance that this won’t be enough for superfans reading this, it just so happens that Lionsgate has something exquisite in its 4K Ultra HD home release packaging, in both special features, as well as life-sized model EndoArm with its own stand autographed by the director himself. • *NEW* “T2: Reprogramming the Terminator” 55 Minute Documentary Including Exclusive Interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron, Edward Furlong and More • 2 Feature Commentaries including 23 members of the cast and crew, including director James Cameron and co-author William Wisher • “The Making of T2” 30 Minute Featurette • Seamless Branching to View 3 Different Versions of the Movie • 2 Deleted Scenes with Audio Commentary • Trailers Time will tell what else, if anything, Cameron […]
TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY 3D – A Family Of Two And Their Killer Cyborg Companion Fend Off The Apocalypse In The New Trailer For The 90’s Sci-Fi Action Classic!
I was but a toddler when director James Cameron’s Terminator was released, and it would be years before I could ever see it on VHS. That said, I saw a televised edit which familiarized me enough to garner excitement for its explosive sequel, Terminator 2: Judgement Day. I guess you could say it’s the film that drew me as a moviegoer for years to come having fallen in love with the action genre and the output of titles at the time and before, inherently earning me as an Arnold Schwarzenegger fan among millions. And so with the years that have passed as production label Carolco dissolved, it’s rather unfortunate that the Terminator franchise floundered all the same and I contribute this to the lack of consistency as seen with the rotating door of actors playing the key role of human resistance leader John Connor. Discounting actor Michael Edwards who cameos […]
The Last Four Of James Cameron’s AVATAR Pentalogy Land Four Official Release Dates Starting In 2020
Imagine a sequel so epic that it took more than a decade to make happen… …If you’re thinking Universal Soldier: Regeneration, I like how your mind works. This bit of filmlore, however, goes in the direction of fantasy visionary James Cameron in the wake of his 2009 action adventure, Avatar, a film so nice it was released twice and with earnings of up to nearly $2.8 billion dollars. That’s a fat chunk of change for 20th Century Fox and I’m sure they’re more than grateful at this juncture, and even moreso determined to make the next four movies the best of the bunch. And even better, they all now all have dates courtesy of the latest official Facebook update! Great to be working with the best team in the business! Avatar takes flight as we begin concurrent production on four sequels. The journey continues December 18, 2020, December 17, 2021, […]
James Cameron Breathes New Life For Next TERMINATOR Film
On set of Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) from Carolco Pictures Don’t ask me about Terminator: Genysis. I haven’t had the chance to see that film as with a lot of films in recent memory, although I have seen clips and read and heard many reactions from moviegoers, many of whom have pretty much said that the film was bust. Thor: The Dark World helmer Alan Taylor directed the film as one of several Terminator installments that moved forward in recent years without James Cameron in the past eighteen years since he reportedly sold the rights to the film producer Gale Anne Hurd. The franchise itself has endured both a creative and legal rollercoaster landing at several homes before landing at Annapurna in 2011 following Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines and Terminator: Salvation – apparently the latter was supposed to start a new trilogy and ultimately that never panned […]
Lana Condor Gears Up For ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL
And to think it was just last year that X-Men fans learned of then-newcomer, actress Lana Condor for the role of Jubilee in this year’s X-Men: Apocalypse. Well, it’s nice to know she’s piling on with her latest expected appearance in the film Patriot’s Day which opens this December, and now she’s ready to tackle the live-action manga scene in Robert Rodriguez’s Alita: Battle Angel. Deadline reports that Condor will join the cast that so far includes Jackie Earle Haley, Ed Skrein, Eiza Gonzalez and Christoph Waltz, with actress Rosa Salazar in tje title role. Inspired by Kishiro Yukito’s 1990-1995 Shueisha manga, Salazar will play Alita, an amnesiac cyborg whose head is found by a scientist in a scrapyard in a dystopian future America, and refurbished as a battle-capable cyborg huntress named after the scientist’s cat. Skrein will star opposite Salazar in the role of Zapan, a villanous cyborg who […]

BATTLE ANGEL ALITA Is In The Works At Fox!
It’s been roughly 17 years since blockbuster filmmmaker James Cameron broke the bank with his stellar sunken ship love story, Titanic, and about 12 years since topping it with Avatar. The latter will evidently have him quite the busy man through 2019 with at least four movies to date, but that doesn’t mean he’s dropped the ball on previously-pondered works. I’m talking Battle Angel Alita, a 1990 Shueisha publication by author Kishiro Yukito which focused on an amnesiac cyborg whose head is found by a scientist in a scrapyard in a futuristic dystopian America and reenvisioned as a battle-capable cyborg huntress named after the scientist’s cat. The manga eventually saw its way through as an animated property, which, as time proved, had already caught Cameron’s eye by the time all the Titanic hype was well and done. Alas, after fiften years of underwater documentaries and an epic Avatar movie amid […]
AVATAR 2 Announces Supporting Roles/Extras Casting For Native Americans
It’s been ten years since award-winning director James Cameron began his journey into the world of Pandora for the production of his 2009 milestone success story, Avatar. With time on his side and the technological advancements in film pending, it was only a matter of time the filmmaker would soon reap the benefits of such filmmaking and entertainment innovations, from motion capture and 3D technology, to the implementation of 4D entertainment in select theaters worldwide. Evidently, the film was a record-breaking box-office victory for Cameron and the distributors at 20th Century Fox, earning well-over $2.7 billion dollars between 2009, and its re-release in 2010, and ultimately becoming the highest grossing film to date. Moreover, on top of its Academy Award, Golden Globe, Saturn Awards and BAFTA accolades, the film drew mostly positive reviews for its environmentally-centric and anti-war message on top of its emotionally-charged delivery, packed with explosive visual spectacle […]
