At first I wondered why they cast Justin Beiber as the terminator.

Then someone pointed out that was a woman.

Yikes.

So funny how this comment actually flips SO MANY narratives on it's head.

Particularly 'Misogynists sabotage movies with women!"

But yeah. The first two films, the only ones universally loved, had a female lead. Strong female leads are a staple of Cameron period, and it's been that way for over 3 decades. So... I guess action fans aren't hateful misogynists. Maybe that's just an excuse they (specifically the director) are putting out there ahead of the release to sandbag for the fact they know it sucks. It's a marketing strategy at this point, and it never works. I think the directors stupid words assured this film loses money. It was already unlikely to make money based on the fact that we're ALL bored with these movies at this point.

Hell, Terminator 3 was actually the highest grossing Terminator, and the lead villian was a woman. And John Conner's girl was WAY more competent than he was. It still made money.

It doesn't matter. What does matter is the Terminator is a played out property. In my mind there's only 2 cannon films because I don't care, even a little, about the crap that came after T2.

Exactly...

This is getting me a little more pumped.

@Borys_Kit: Cameron reveals that Eddie Furlong will be in TERMINATOR: DARK FATE. He was last seen, franchise-wise, in T2.

@Borys_Kit: Tim Miller says Terminator Dark Fate will be rated R.

The new Terminator's special power is posing as a drug dealer. It will try to sell a lethal dose of heroin to Furlong/John Conner only to find Furlong's tolerance much too powerful.

Run credits.

Makes you wonder that he must be ok if he's in this. Don't think he's done anything since T2

And drugs. He did a lot of drugs.

When I googled images of him most are from those days and he looks like Barney from the Simpsons

I think he did some cheeseball horror movie with Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's daughter (Rumer?). I have no idea why I remember that.

Linda Hamilton doing pullups and whooping people's ass was awesome, then almost taking out Aldi's Don Cheadle with a sniper rifle

Didn't know about a trailer, but read a blurb earlier that Cameron is ready to start a new trilogy if Dark Fate is successful.

That is definitely a badass trailer.
