The untitled Terminator film, colloquially referred to as Terminator 6, is an upcoming American science fiction action film directed by Tim Miller with a screenplay written by Billy Ray, David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes, Josh Friedman and Charles H. Eglee. The film's story was conceived by Miller, series co-creator James Cameron and David Ellison, with the latter two serving as producers alongside Dana Goldberg.[2][3] It will be the sixth installment in the Terminator franchise and serves as a direct sequel to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, while disregarding Rise of the Machines, Salvation, Genisys and The Sarah Connor Chronicles as occurring in alternate timelines.[4][5] The film will star Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Mackenzie Davis, Gabriel Luna, Natalia Reyes, and Diego Boneta and will be distributed by Paramount Pictures domestically and 20th Century Fox in other territories.

Cast

  • Arnold Schwarzenegger as T-800 "Model 101"
    • Brett Azar serves as the body double for a younger T-800, with Schwarzenegger's 1991 facial-likeness being used through the use of CGI.
  • Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor: The mother of John Connor, who will become the future leader of the Resistance in the war against Skynet.
  • Mackenzie Davis as Grace, a soldier-assassin[6]
  • Gabriel Luna as a Terminator
  • Natalia Reyes as Dani Ramos[7]
  • Diego Boneta[8] as Dani's brother
  • Jude Collie as John Connor: The son of Sarah Connor, who is destined to save humanity, years in the future, from an apocalyptic war against the machines as leader of the Resistance. Collie serves as the body double for a younger John Connor, with Edward Furlong's 1991 facial-likeness being used through the use of CGI.

Production

Development

In December 2013, The Hollywood Reporter reported that a television series was in the works, which would tie into a new Terminator trilogy.[9][10] On September 5, 2014 Paramount announced that Terminator Genisys would be the first film in a new standalone trilogy, with two sequels scheduled for release on May 19, 2017 and June 29, 2018.[11][12] On February 24, 2015, Schwarzenegger revealed that he would be returning for the first sequel.[13] While promoting Genisys in Berlin in June 2015, Skydance CEO David Ellison and COO Dana Goldberg said that the spin-off TV series was still in development.[14] On July 26, The Hollywood Reporter said that Paramount and Skydance declined to comment about the status of the sequel and TV series, although they confirmed that international box-office performance would be taken into consideration.[15] Deadline reported on September 22 that the film failed to earn the required $150 million in China to fast-track a sequel.[16]

On October 1, 2015, The Hollywood Reporter said that the sequels and television spin-off were on hold indefinitely because Terminator Genisys had failed to break even.[17] On October 6, Goldberg said that she "wouldn't say [the franchise is] on hold, so much as re-adjusting". According to Goldberg, despite Genisys' disappointing domestic performance, the company was happy with its worldwide numbers and still intended to make new films and the TV series. Production of a sequel would begin no earlier than 2016 because the company planned market research to determine its direction after Genisys.[18]

In January 2016, Paramount announced that the sequel had been removed from its release schedule.[19] In April 2016, Emilia Clarke said that she would not return for any sequels.[20]

On January 20, 2017, Deadline Hollywood reported that James Cameron, who will regain the film rights to the franchise in 2019, will produce the next Terminator film, which is set to reboot and conclude the franchise. Skydance's David Ellison continues to be involved and is searching for a writer among science fiction authors with the intention that Tim Miller directs it. The author of the article describes the film as a reboot, suggesting the Terminator Genisys storyline has been discarded.[21] By March 2017, New York Daily News reported the studio chose not to pick up the options of Schwarzenegger and Emilia Clarke, as the sequel to Genisys had been removed from the studio's release schedule.[22]

On March 21, 2017, David Ellison was quoted by Collider saying there will be an announcement regarding the future of the franchise before the end of the year, and it's going to be in a direction that will provide "the continuation of what the fans really wanted since T2".[23] On April 3, 2017, Schwarzenegger said that he is looking forward to being in another Terminator film, and there are negotiations for another studio to pick up the franchise from Paramount and Cameron producing, but he couldn't give any details before the announcement.[24]

In July 2017, Cameron said that he is working with Ellison to set up a trilogy of films and supervise it. The intention is for Schwarzenegger to be involved to some extent, but also introduce new characters and "pass the baton".[25] Schwarzenegger was later confirmed to be reprising his role as the T-800, as well as playing the human basis for it.[26]

Pre-production

On September 12, 2017, Skydance Media confirmed that Miller will direct the new Terminator film.[27] A writers room with David S. Goyer, Justin Rhodes, Charles H. Eglee, and creator of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Josh Friedman was established to create the story of the trilogy under the supervision of Cameron and Miller. By November 2017, Billy Ray was brought in to polish the script.[28] The production is looking to cast an 18 to 20 year-old woman to be the new centerpiece of the story.[29] On March 8, 2018, it was announced that Mackenzie Davis had been cast to star in the upcoming film.[6] The intended shooting time has been revealed to have been moved from March to June, Cameron citing the casting for the new lead role as the reason.

In April 2018, the film was later pushed back from July 26 to November 22, 2019, to avoid box office competition with the Fast & Furious spin-off film, Hobbs & Shaw.[30]

Casting

In May 2017, Schwarzenegger confirmed he will appear in the next Terminator film, with Cameron overseeing the production.[31] On September 19, 2017, it was announced Linda Hamilton will return to reprise her role as Sarah Connor from the first two Terminator films. In April 2018, Diego Boneta, Natalia Reyes and Gabriel Luna were cast as primary characters in the film.[7] Jude Collie has also been cast as the CGI stand-in for a young John Connor, while Brett Azar reprises his role from Genisys as the CGI stand-in for a younger T-800.[32]

Filming

Production was initially intended to start in March 2018, but was delayed due to casting. It was then expected to start during May and end during November with filming taking place in Hungary, United Kingdom, Spain and Mexico.[33] Filming got underway on June 4, 2018 in Isleta del Moro, Almería, Spain,[34][35] followed by Origo Film Studios, Budapest, Hungary,[36][37][38] with the intention of shooting for a month there before filming the rest of the film in the United States. On July 30, 2018, Schwarzenegger officially began filming his scenes in Budapest.[39]

Release

The untitled Terminator film is scheduled to be released by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox on November 15, 2019.[40] The film previously had set release dates for July 26, 2019 and November 22, 2019.[41][42]
