Deadline recently caught up with director
James Cameron ("Avatar"), who is best known for writing and directing
The Terminator (1984) and
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991). During the discussion the filmmaker was asked about the upcoming film,
Terminator: Genisys. While he isn't officially attached to that project he did offer the producers some advice on how to include
Arnold Schwarzenegger ("True Lies").
“I pointed out that the outer covering (of the Terminator) was actually not synthetic, that it was organic and therefore could age. You could theoretically have a Terminator that was sent back in time,
missed his target, and ended up just kind of living on in society.
Because he is a learning computer and has a brain as a central processor he could actually become more human as he went along without getting discovered.”
In March, Cameron told
MTV the "Termintor's flesh ages," so that information isn't new at all, but what is new is that Arnie's T-800 could've been sent back during the wrong time period and has been waiting in the wings for when poo is about to go down. Okay, that sounds like a much more logical reason to have an aging cyborg. Add in the fact that the T-800 can learn at an excelerated rate, this T-800 in
Terminator: Genisys should be nearly human.
Terminator: Genesis - Is being directed by Alan Taylor ("Thor: The Dark World"), based off of a screenplay by Patrick Lussier and Laeta Kalogridis. The films stars Arnold Schwarzenegger as an older Terminator, Jason Clarke as John Connor, Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese. The cast also includes: J.K. Simmons ("Spider-Man"), Dayo Okeniyi ("Hunger Games"), Byung Hun Lee ("G.I. Joe: Retaliation") and Matt Smith ("Dr. Who"). It will land in theaters July 1, 2015 release.
