Terminator: Dark Fate title confirmed

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

A month or so ago we passed along word that James Cameron revealed the working title of Tim Miller's new TERMINATOR movie as TERMINATOR: DARK FATE. And today we have word that Paramount has officially adopted this as their official title of TERMINATOR 6. Again, DARK FATE sounds too much like another lame CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK sequel to me. I don't care for it. After all, what was wrong with simply calling it TERMINATOR or even TERMINATOR: PHOENIX? What do YOU think of the title? Let us know below!

The film is said to be a direct sequel to Cameron's T2: JUDGMENT DAY. Here's what went down in that flick:

In this sequel set eleven years after "The Terminator," young John Connor (Edward Furlong), the key to civilization's victory over a future robot uprising, is the target of the shape-shifting T-1000 (Robert Patrick), a Terminator sent from the future to kill him. Another Terminator, the revamped T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger), has been sent back to protect the boy. As John and his mother (Linda Hamilton) go on the run with the T-800, the boy forms an unexpected bond with the robot.

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is directed by Tim Miller (DEADPOOL) from a screenplay written by David S. Goyer, based on a story conceived by Miller, Cameron, and David Ellison. Cameron and Ellison serve as the sequel's producers alongside Dana Goldberg. The film will star Schwarzenegger and Hamilton, along with Mackenzie Davis, Gabriel Luna, Natalia Reyes, and Diego Boneta. The film previously had release dates of July 26, November 15, and November 22, 2019, but now TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is scheduled to be released on November 1, 2019. For real this time. No, really.
