James Cameron Reveals He’s Working on a New Terminator

The recently released Terminator Zero trailer showed Judgement Day and anime colliding in the eight-episode series, which is heading to Netflix later this year.

The series takes the famous James Cameron character through two separate timelines: 2022, where a decades-long war rages between the few human survivors and an endless army of machines, and 1997, where the artificial intelligence known as Skynet has gained self-awareness, beginning its war against humanity.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter , Terminator founding father James Cameron spoke about the upcoming series while also teasing that a new Terminator project may be coming from him in the future.

"My relationship to [ Terminator Zero ] is very much like The Sarah Connor Chronicles — other people spinning stories in a world I set in motion is interesting to me," Cameron told THR, "I'd be curious to see what they've come up with."

That's when Cameron teased that he's not done with Terminator , saying, "I'm working on my own Terminator stuff right now."

However, Cameron refused to tease more about what that project is, quoting Top Gun , "It's totally classified."

"I don't want to have to send out a potentially dangerous robotic agent if you were to talk about it, even retroactively," Cameron joked.

Cameron has dedicated his recent years to his beloved Avatar series, which kick-started when the first film was released in 2009 and made $2.7 billion at the box office. It is still the highest-grossing film of all time, and this past weekend, Cameron confirmed Avatar 3 's new title and release date at D23 .
