    James Cameron is planning to revive the Terminator franchise
    with a cast of fresh faces.

    Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the future of the
    sci-fi series, the director, 71, revealed that leading man
    Arnold Schwarzenegger will not be back for another sequel.

    'I can safely say he won't be,' Cameron confessed to the
    outlet.

    'It's time for a new generation of characters. I insisted
    Arnold had to be involved in Terminator: Dark Fate, and it
    was a great finish to him playing the T-800,' he continued.

    . . .

    Arnie ain't so young anymore. Maybe they can fit
    him in for a few seconds in a 'video clip' or
    something. In any case, he finishes as an iconic
    figure.

    SOME film themes seem inexhaustible. They can make
    Terminator films forever, same for Aliens, Living
    Dead and Predator (another Arnie start-up) and vampire
    flix. When humans stop doing them the AIs will invent
    something. The "near-indestructible opponent" figures
    high in the human psyche/mythos. Try Beowulf - 1500
    years and still relevant.

    "Man -vs- Devils" and "Man -vs- Gods" and "Man -vs-
    Monsters" ...... forever popular. Shines a light on
    the inside of our heads.

    Hey, we all used to live on the veldt with all sorts
    of nasty creatures out to eat us .... that'll set a
    few neural pathways in stone eh ?

    Schwarzenegger is still really fit.

    He's pretty good. Not on the steroids anymore, but
    clearly still does the work-outs. Really sharp mind
    behind that thick accent too.

    Not like my neighbor who is as old as he is

    She is a lot shorter, but still pretty tall.

    Right now she alleges she is 160

    Hmm ... maybe she is. I always wondered if there
    were a small number with like double-long lives.
    The curve trails off ... but it's not QUITE zero
    even well out.

    I find it improbable tho i have watched her lose weight over the past four years, I cannot believe she is down to that. I think she is lying

    Women lie ??? Nah .......
