Cameron Eyes Terminator Return Amidst AI Fears

James Cameron is revisiting the Terminator franchise, expressing a desire to write new material for it. He acknowledges that the current reality of artificial intelligence has closely mirrored the future he depicted in the original films, making his past predictions seem less like fiction and more like an impending reality. This alignment with current events presents a unique challenge for future storytelling.

Cameron shared that he has extensive notes for a new Terminator script, which he intends to focus on after completing marketing for 'Avatar: Fire and Ash.' He mentioned the difficulty of staying ahead of technological progress, noting that science fiction has now become science fact. His goal is to create a script that remains relevant and considers future developments, aiming to be a couple of years ahead of where society is heading.

Beyond the potential Terminator film, Cameron has other significant projects in consideration. These include a movie focusing on the atomic bombs used during World War II, an adaptation of the book 'The Devil's,' and continuing with two more installments in the Avatar series. The future of a new Terminator movie remains uncertain, dependent on when he can fully dedicate himself to writing and whether he finds the right concept to future-proof the narrative.
