'Terminator' creator James Cameron defends John Connor's dark fate
The first Arnold Schwarzenegger-Linda Hamilton reunion since “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” is a back-to-basics sequel with a few fresh wrinkles.
“First and foremost, Sarah Connor is not a happy, content kind of character,” said Miller.
Besides, the last three sequels gave plenty of shine to John Connor, said Miller. All three revolved around different iterations of the John Connor character, with disappointing critical and commercial results. John Connor’s moment in time has passed, Miller said. “He was supposed to be the savior of mankind. Sarah changed the future, so now he’s a man that history passed by. And who wants to see a Congressman John Connor, or an accountant John Connor, or a John who died from diphtheria as a missionary?”
“There’s only so much room on this page. If you want to have these new characters walk on and have prominent roles then you’ve got to clear some room,” he said. “And servicing the myth of John wouldn’t have left room.”“People will always go, ‘Oh, it’s predictable. Oh, it’s a retread. Oh, we’ve seen it all before,’” he said. “You’ve not! Because there are five movies based on the idea of John Connor so far.
