Directed by Tim Miller (Deadpool), the suspenseful and action-packed film is produced by visionary filmmaker James Cameron (Titanic, Avatar and Alita Battle Angel) and David Ellison.
For fans of the franchise, the most exciting element of Terminator: Dark Fate may be the return of original stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Producer James Cameron describes Terminator: Dark Fateas a direct sequel to Terminator 2, one that recaptures the riveting tone of the original Terminator and its follow-up. “It has the same intensity, the same take-no-prisoners feeling and sense of abject terror,” he says. “The first film was supposed to scare you about a possible dark future and the survival of a girl that we come to care about. This film, like the others, deals with the threat of a human collision with artificial super-intelligence, which is a whole lot less science-fiction today than it was in 1984 or 1991. The movie releases throughout the GCC on the 31st October in IMAX, 4DX, Dolby and MX4D, the official trailer can be viewed here
