James Cameron has talked about the future of the Terminator movie franchise. Y'know, the guy who created the whole thing back in the 1980s? Perhaps we should listen. He thinks its fortunes rely on basically jettisoning almost everything we thought was essential in the 1980s and 1990s.

Last year we learned that James Cameron was developing a new Terminator movie. At the time he said that the project is heavily inspired by AI, and before he made it, he wanted to see how things play out with AI in the real world.

It’s been 40 years since The Terminator, and by extension, Arnold Schwarzenegger, were introduced to the world. It was James Cameron ’s first movie (he apparently doesn't count Piranha II) and it's arguably still Cameron's best movie.
