Veteran action star Arnold Schwarzenegger says the upcoming movie in the "Terminator" series picks a lot from the first two films in the franchise, directed by celebrated filmmaker James Cameron.
The 72-year-old actor, who will be reprising the titular role in "Terminator: Dark Fate", said the new film has unique action and never-seen-before visual effects.
"Dark Fate", directed by Tim Miller, is a direct sequel to Cameron's 1991 "Terminator: Judgement Day" and will retcon the events of the last three films in the franchise.
The movie reunites Linda Hamilton and Schwarzenegger, who originally starred in the first two films.
"It's another 'Terminator' movie with a totally different story and it has Jim Cameron's fingerprints all over it. Also, Linda Hamilton's. So, it's kind of like going back to the old days of 'Terminator'.
"It has more action in it than any of the other 'Terminators' have ever had. More unique action. And the visual effects are unlike anything you've ever seen," Schwarzenegger said in a statement.
The actor revealed Yul Brynner's robotic gunslinger in 1973's "Westworld" influenced his performance as cyborg assassin Terminator.
"It was really the first time I had played a machine and it was fun to do that. I'd seen Yul Brynner in 'Westworld' and the way he played that role was so powerful and so believable that I wanted to play it exactly the same way. So that was my motivation," he said
