Terminator Producer Says Franchise Has a Future

[THE 101]

Even though she may not be the most well known name in the movie industry, Gale Anne Hurd became one of the key players in bringing AMC's The Walking Dead to the screen. She originally worked as a screenwriter on a certain movie about a cyborg from the future trying to kill a young John Connor before he was born.

Gale Anne Hurd, the once wife of James Cameron, was partly responsible for The Terminator, and she also executive produced Terminator 2 and Terminator 3. While the Terminator franchise has been pretty much in the doldrums since the early 90's mega-hit sequel, the question has to be is there any life left in the war of the robots or has it well and truly run it's course. In a recent interview, Hurd gave her view on the future of the franchise. "Honestly, I have no idea," she said. "I wasn't involved in the last one."

he "last one" in question was Terminator: Dark Fate, which arrived with huge expectations having not only original star Linda Hamilton back on board, but also James Cameron. However, just like the last couple of movies, it failed to hit the right note with audiences and proved to be a complete box office disaster. Despite not being involved with the franchise, Hurd did have a little more to say based on her experience of what makes a franchise a success and how it could be possible for Terminator to be a great property once again.

"To give you some perspective, I used to have a scuba diving practice in Micronesia, and we found that they even screened The Terminator, albeit a bootleg video version, of one of the most remote islands in the world. The awareness is already built-in, and I do think it's perennial; with the right story with the right cast, and the right direction, I think there could still be a potential future there."

Totally agree.
None of the movies after the first 2 were as good as the TV show.

Too late to save the franchise now. And no we do not need a reboot or another retcon.

 

[Monoblock]

Please no more. They've squeezed every dime out of the franchise. Nothing is left.

They attempted and had numerous chances to put the franchise back on track and they failed every time.
