Los Angeles: Veteran action star Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that the upcoming movie in the Terminator series picks a lot from the first two films in the franchise, directed by celebrated filmmaker James Cameron.
The 72-year-old Arnold Schwarzenegger, who will be reprising the titular role in Terminator: Dark Fate, said the new film has unique action and never-seen-before visual effects.
Dark Fate, directed by Tim Miller, is a direct sequel to James Cameron’s 1991 Terminator: Judgement Day and will re-run the events of the last three films in the franchise.
The movie reunites Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger, who originally starred in the first two films.
“It’s another Terminator movie with a totally different story and it has Jim Cameron’s fingerprints all over it. Also, Linda Hamilton’s. So, it’s kind of like going back to the old days of Terminator. It has more action in it than any of the other Terminators have ever had, more unique action. And the visual effects are unlike anything you’ve ever seen,” Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The actor revealed Yul Brynner’s robotic gunslinger in 1973’s Westworld influenced his performance as cyborg assassin in Terminator.
“It was really the first time I had played a machine and it was fun to do that. I’d seen Yul Brynner in Westworld and the way he played that role was so powerful and so believable that I wanted to play it exactly the same way. So that was my motivation,” Arnold Schwarzenegger stated.
Schwarzenegger also recalled how his brief on the portrayal of Terminator made Cameron cast him in the role. “I met James Cameron for the first time, and I told him what needed to happen, how the Terminator has to act, how he has to carry himself, how he has to behave. Cameron offered me the role,” informed Schwarzenegger
Produced by Cameron, Terminator: Dark Fate will release November 1 in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam languages.
