Back at San Diego Comic-Con 2019 we saw a behind the scenes featurette for Terminator: Dark Fate which made it seem like the franchise was finally returning to its R-rated roots. But we’ve been told such things before. Way back in 2008 when the fourth entry in the franchise, Terminator Salvation, was on the way, director McG told us that he had been given the blessing to deliver an R-rated movie, but ultimately it ended up being PG-13. And of course, we all know about Terminator Genisys.

But now it’s official: the next Terminator movie has been rated R by the MPAA. It is the first to be given the honor since the third entry in the series, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. And to mark the occasion, a NSFW extended red band TV spot has been released to show off a little of that R-rated goodness. You can check it out below.

A new game set in the Terminator universe is on the way titled Terminator: Resistance, which was announced today with the release of a trailer.

The game is described as a first-person shooter with RPG elements, and it is developed by Teyon and published by Reef Entertainment. You can find more info and check out the announcement trailer below.

Paramount has been slowly rolling out their next wave of marketing for Terminator: Dark Fate through a series of videos on social media that commemorate August 29, 1997, better known as Judgment Day to Terminator fans. All of that led up to the release of the new trailer, which you can watch here below.

The Terminator franchise just hasn’t been the same since Terminator 2: Judgement Day. With key creative and performing players missing, it seemed like it would meet a dark fate. However, director Tim Miller and producer James Cameron promise that Terminator: Dark Fate will be different.

Not only are they bringing back Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor, Arnold Schwarzenegger as the T-800, and Edward Furlong as John Connor, but the film will also be a “relentless” and “white-knuckle” actioner going back to the franchise’s R-rated roots. Check out the featurette below.

Time travel can be a very fickle thing. There are no one set of rules that anyone abides by. And that is pretty clear in Terminator: Dark Fate, which not only brings back a seasoned Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and an aged T-800 unit (Arnold Schwarzenegger), as well as John Connor himself. But this time, it will be Edward Furlong, who originated the on-screen character in Terminator 2: Judgement Day.

The news broke today during Paramount’s panel for Terminator: Dark Fate at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

Paramount Pictures has released the first trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate, the latest installment in the long-running film franchise.

The movie, which follows the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, sees original stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to play the roles of Sarah Connor and the T-800. James Cameron, who directed the classic first two entries in the series, is also back as a producer.

You can give the teaser trailer a watch below, where you’ll also find a newly released behind the scenes video and a poster as well.

When one studio film moves its date, you can be sure that it won’t be vacant for very long. In fact, right after Wonder Woman 1984 moved from its November 1, 2019 date to June 20, 2020, two other films took its place.

Reports say the new Charlie’s Angels reboot and the next Terminator film from Paramount have both moved into the November 1, 2019 slot. More on the report, below.

The first official image from the next Terminator movie has been released. In it, we see Natalia Reyes, Mackenzie Davis, and the returning star of the first two movies, Linda Hamilton.

Hamilton isn’t the only original returning for the new movie, though. Franchise star Arnold Schwarzenegger is also back, and The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day director James Cameron is producing the movie.

Terminator 2 remains one of the most important films of my life. Nine years old in 1991, the TV ads for it drove me into a frenzy and my dad’s bad judgment or not allowed me to watch the original before taking me to see T2 in theaters on opening weekend. It was the first movie I ever saw multiple times in theaters, and 27 years later it still holds up as one of the greatest films of all time. It is a masterpiece of action set pieces, drama, music and violence. Titanic and Avatar be damned, THIS is James Cameron’s magnum opus. Now there is new 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray bundle available, giving home viewers the chance to enjoy one of the most epic films in the most epic way.

The popularity of the Terminator film franchise has somewhat diminished thanks to the poor reception the sequels have gotten after Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Despite that, the interest in the robot apocalypse is still there. And it will live on now in a brand new reboot from Deadpool director Tim Miller at the helm and James Cameron acting as producer. In addition to that, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton will also be returning to reprise their roles as the robotic killing machine and revolutionist against the machine oppression.

Now it has been confirmed that Blade Runner 2049 star Mackenzie Davis is in negotiations to join the cast. But she won’t be playing a character you think she will be playing. More on the story below.
