James Cameron opens up about his biggest regret in regard to the Terminator movie franchise. 'I don’t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of Terminator movies 30+ years ago, in our current world.'
Though beloved to this day, James Cameron holds one major regret about the Terminator movie franchise. Cameron created the iconic sci-fi action franchise, which explored humanity's efforts to put a stop to an artificial intelligence known as Skynet that has wiped out the world in the future with the use of the eponymous autonomous cyborgs to kill the remainders of humans that survived the nuclear Judgment Day, namely Resistance leader John Connor.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While talking with Esquire to discuss his long-awaited Avatar: The Way of Water, James Cameron reflected on his time creating the Terminator movie franchise. The three-time Oscar winner revealed his biggest regret from the sci-fi action series stemmed from its fetishization of guns, looking towards real-world events as alienating him from such.
I look back on some films that I’ve made, and I don’t know if I would want to make that film now. I don’t know if I would want to fetishize the gun, like I did on a couple of Terminator movies 30+ years ago, in our current world. What’s happening with guns in our society turns my stomach.
On the other hand, Terminator: Dark Fate, for which Cameron helped develop the story, did see a shift away from the atypical gunplay as Mackenzie Davis' enhanced human Grace and Schwarzenegger's older T-800 as the two engaged in a lot of intensely choreographed hand-to-hand combat with Gabriel Luna's Rev-9.
Though it has yet to influence the sci-fi action series, it would be interesting to see how Cameron's anti-guns stance could affect the Terminator franchise's future.
