HTML5 is not supported! The Terminator franchise is heading back to its roots with the upcoming reboot/sequel, Terminator: Dark Fate. James Cameron is returning as a producer, Arnold Schwarzenegger is once again appearing in the franchise, and Linda Hamilton is reprising her role as Sarah Connor for the first time since Terminator 2: Judgement Day in 1991. ?I think, tonally, what makes this a direct sequel to T1 and T2 is as much about the tone as it is about the narrative: it?s R rated, it?s grim, it?s gritty, it?s fast, it?s intense, it?s linear," Cameron says.
