Shortly beforeTerminator: Dark Fatewas released in North America, Collider and ArcLight Cinemas hosted an early screening of the film to a packed audience in Hollywood. After the screening ended, directorTim Miller, director of photographyKen Seng, andGabriel Lunasat down with me for an extended Q&A that ran over an hour.
During the wide-ranging conversation, they talked about how the story was figured out, why they did so much coverage, when they found outArnold SchwarzeneggerandLinda Hamiltonwere coming back, Easter eggs, the difference between making a $10 million movie versus a $200 million movie, deleted scenes, telling this story with three strong female roles, the most emotional parts of shooting this movie, putting together the awesome action sequences, and so much more.
Trust me, if you’re curious howTerminator: Dark Fatewas made and how certain key decisions happened, you’re going to learn a lot watching this video.
As most of you know,Terminator: Dark Fatetakes place afterTerminator 2: Judgement Dayand ignores all the otherTerminatorsequels. The film features the awesome return of Linda Hamilton as she teams up withMackenzie Davisand Arnold Schwarzenegger to protectNatalia Reyesfrom a new kind of Terminator (Luna). The film is a return to form for the franchise and you canread a lot of positive reactions here.

Finally, a huge thank you to Paramount Pictures for letting us screen the movie before it was released!
