TERMINATOR: DARK FATE Sees A Fate Unresolved In The Brand New Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

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. There’s no official logline but the story is exactly how you’ve heard it if you’ve seen Terminator 2: Judgement Day, be it in 2D or recently in Studiocanal’s 3D format; Both films will connect to each other toplining franchise principles Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and introducing McKenzie Davis, Natalie Reyes, Gabriel Luna and Diego Ramirez, and actor Edward Furlong finally returning to the role of human resistance leader, John […]

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE Awakens To A New Nightmare In The First Teaser Trailer

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been close to four years since Deadpool landed director Tim Miller on the radar for all comic-con and cult fandom. After choosing to move onto bigger-scale projects with the likes of James Cameron on board to produce a new Terminator movie for today’s audiences, it’s safe to say Miller has certainly found his calling. The biggest testament of this, of course, will arrive with the November 1 release of Terminator: Dark Fate, officially taking the wheel for the longstanding sci-fi franchise after Cameron’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day became a landmark box office hit in 1991. The first official poster arrived on Wednesday encompassing the return of actress Linda Hamilton back into familiar territory as alpha female Sarah Connor, locked and loaded and joined by actresses McKenzie Davis and Natalia Reyes, and with actors Gabriel Luna, and Diego Boneta, and of course, action legend and franchise mainstay, former California governor […]

Lee B. Golden III

Paramount Pictures has officially dated November 1 with the confirmed title, Terminator: Dark Fate, for Deadpool helmer Tim Miller. Natalia Reyes, Mackenzie Davis and Linda Hamilton lead the cast along with franchise mainstay Arnold Schwarzenegger, and actor Gabriel Luna rounding out the cast. Plot details are unknown while the clear fact remains Dark Fate will be the threequel that bookends the first two films also starred Schwarzenegger and Hamilton, effectively skipping Rise Of The Machines (2003), Salvation (2009) and Genisys (2015). James Cameron, who – in between directing the first two films – sold the rights to the the 1984 film to producer Gail Anne Hurd for a dollar before acquiring the rights back in 2017, serves as producer along with David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger. The move also pits Terminator: Dark Fate against Elizabeth Banks’ Charlie’s Angels.

143: Tim Miller’s X-Men Universe Entry Lands A Screenwriter

Lee B. Golden III

Fox is making good on its earlier hype from January regarding a standalone Kitty Pride movie, it seems. As Deadline reported on Monday, the studio is tapping Brian Michael Bendis to script an X-Men cinematic universe entry vaguely-titled 143 for Deadpool helmer Tim Miller to direct. The noted X-Men superheroine launched under Marvel Comics in 1980 with a number of skills surrounding her ability to “phase” herself and become intangible, allowing her and whatever she touches to pass through any object. Her history has seen her grow her affiliations with numerous teams including and especially with Guardians Of The Galaxy protagonist Star Lord at one point. Fox’s X-Men franchise has seen a trio of actresses perform the role with Ellen Page donning the character for at least two films: The Last Stand and Days Of Future Past. As Deadline notes, the studio is playing it close to the chest but […]

Cameron And Miller Discuss The TERMINATOR Reboot; Plots A Summer 2019 Release

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]

Fox’s NEUROMANCER Taps Tim Miller To Direct The Cyberpunk Novel Adaptation

Fox’s NEUROMANCER Taps Tim Miller To Direct The Cyberpunk Novel Adaptation

Lee B. Golden III

More than a year after departing efforts to return to the director’s chair for Deadpool 2, Tim Miller will instead be boarding Twentieth Century Fox’s latest move to sci-fi, Neuromancer. Simon Kinberg is producing the film now hailing as a major project for Miller’s notable VFX workshop, Blur Studios, following decades of industry attempts to bring William Gibson’s 1984 cyberpunk novel to the big screen. Case was one of the best console cowboys until he stole from one of his employers, who in turn damaged his nervous system so that he cannot access cyberspace anymore. Broke and destroying himself, Case is contacted by Molly, a heavily modified razorgirl, to work for a shadowy colonel who needs a cyberspace cowboy for a secret mission. The employer fixes Case’s damaged brain, but implants a slow dissolving poison to make sure the cyberspace wiz does his bidding, in attempting to abduct a perverse […]

James Cameron Breathes New Life For Next TERMINATOR Film

James Cameron Breathes New Life For Next TERMINATOR Film

Lee B. Golden III

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 […]

Life After ‘Deadpool’ Brings Tim Miller To Sony’s SONIC THE HEDGEHOG; Jeff Fowler Directing

Lee B. Golden III

Time and preparation surely met with opportunity for VFX wiz and prolific Deadpool director Tim Miller in the last several days. Having departed the coveted, daunting position of directing one of the biggest and most antipated upcoming sequels, Miller has already moved onto a few other endeavors being reported since then. Sega game property, Sonic The Hedgehog, which announced feature-film in development two years ago through Sony and Sega Sammy Holdings subsidiary, Marza Animation Planet, is one of them. Jeff Fowler will direct the movie, aiming as a live-action CG hybrid to with Miller executive producing along with Toby Ascher. Marza’s Ito Takeshi and Onishi Mie will serve as producers next to Neal H. Moritz (The Fast and The Furious franchise). per The Wrap: “Jeff is an incredible director with strong story instincts,” Miller said in a statement. “The world of Sonic presents the perfect opportunity for Jeff to leverage […]

DEADPOOL 2 Loses Its Director. WTF?

DEADPOOL 2 Loses Its Director. WTF?

Lee B. Golden III

Casting news is currently pending over who will take the role of psionic markswoman Domino in the upcoming sequel to this year’s smash hit, Deadpool. Actor Ryan Reynolds is poised to reprise the title role that waited years for its first feature-length R-rated rendition, telling of a dying mercenary whose forced mutation at the hands of a sinister doctor who kidnaps his girlfriend, sends him on a mission to vengeance. The film ultimately earned to the tune of nearly $783 million dollars worldwide and claiming a number of history-making firsts since its theatrical run from February. With this, it was evident that Tim Miller, who played a pivotal role in campaigning heavily and working tenaciously with Reynolds on helping the first film avoid the usual PG-13 treatment for a more feasible sell at the box office as with other mainstream comic book movies as of late, was to return to […]

#TrustInTim, Because DEADPOOL Creator Rob Liefeld Doesn't Want To Be 'That Guy'

Lee B. Golden III

The most difficult thing about discussing comic book movies is the constant flow of rumors that drown out any fact-based conversation on any title in the genre. Deadpool 2, no less, is an obvious target for this kind of tomfoolery while fans engage in many a shoutfesty, reactey, ALL CAPS TYPEY fan rant about who it is they want to see play certain characters on the big screen, namely characters Cable and Domino. I won’t go heavily into the details but now Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld is making the rounds this week with a new segment he’s shared over at The Nerdy Pop Show, anchored by Matt Barnes. No hard feelings here though as Liefeld clearly understands the fans as much as he cares about his property, which speaks heavily to his #TrustInTim hashtag – as so implemented with respect to director Tim Miller who rocketed the Ryan Renyolds’s headliner to […]

Dying With Laughter Over DEADPOOL (Or, How To Wake Up Before You Go Go)

As someone who grew up reading comic books as a kid, I had a deep appreciation for not only storytelling, but for great characterization. Although I found some characters incredibly one-sided, one-dimensional, and filled with cliché, superheroes were noble beings with a semblance of justice. Then there’s Deadpool. Read his own words: “You’re probably thinking, ‘My boyfriend said this was a superhero movie but that guy in the suit just turned that other guy into a fucking kabab!’ Well, I may be super, but I’m no hero. And yeah, technically, this is a murder. But some of the best love stories start with a murder. And that’s exactly what this is, a love story. And to tell it right… I gotta take you back to long before I squeezed this ass into red spandex.” Be prepared for an unusual opening when you watch this – it was very unexpected but […]

DEADPOOL 2 Officially Moves Forward

Lee B. Golden III

Director Tim Miller’s hit movie, Deadpool, won in epic fashion last weekend at the MTV movie awards, taking away accolades for Best Comedy and Best Fight – this all following its prime box office victory in becoming the highest grossing R-rated superhero movie, ever. So, what else is in tow? Well, the sequel was already announced for active development back in February before then, but as with all things in film, these updates take time to become solid. Thus, what better time than this week, and on the last day of CinemaCon in Las Vegas? Yes, 20th Century Fox was on hand to make its case for several tentpole movies including Independence Day: Resurgence, Assassin’s Creed, and as many as four more sequels to James Cameron’s 2009 interplanetary spirtual sci-fi action epic, Avatar. Of course, Deadpool 2 was part of the roster as well with Ryan Reynolds back to star […]

A Case For Better Action Movies: DEADPOOL (2016)

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been a while since I’ve written a film review attributed to my column, A Case For Better Action movies. That said, seeing as how Marvel property Deadpool is finally getting its just dues on the big screen, the case couldn’t be more relevant than it is now after twelve years of developing, pushing and pitching, scratching and clawing our way through PG-13 Hollywood red tape. Essentially, the film is a direct result of what happens when major studios get out of their own way; We’ve been living in an era where the supposed narrative is that toning down the violence in any major tentpole action film will still reap benefits through a PG-13 audience so parents wouldn’t necessarily have to help little kids petition to enjoy the same feats. That may have been true from time to time, but it’s not written in stone either seeing as how Deadpool […]
