Arnie admires director

Arnold Schwarzene­gger says he admires Terminator: Dark Fate director Tim Miller, adding that he shares a “really good rapport” with him.

“I just admired him. I loved what he did on Deadpool. I had a meeting with him and (at the time) he was going to do a second Deadpool. I said, ‘I want to be directed by you’.

We had a really good rapport,” Schwarzene­gger said. “He was always very encouragin­g and very much into communicat­ing with the actors. He’s a guy who really sees the whole thing as a team effort - and that’s what a movie like this needs. He was like that with everybody on set. He works with everyone together, it’s very collaborat­ive,” he added.

Schwarzene­gger loves what Miller brings to the world of Terminator. “What he has done with this movie is great. It’s at 110 percent in terms of energy. The way he pitched it to me was great, too. He was like, ‘We’re going to bring Linda back, and she’s going to be a /big/ part of the story’. I was excited about all of those things and I was delighted with how they all played out on set. I thought he was fantastic,” added the actor.

The film brings back Schwarzene­gger as The Terminator and Linda Hamilton, as an older Sarah Connor. Although Terminator: Dark Fate is the sixth instalment in the franchise, it is being touted as a direct sequel to 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day. The film ignores the events of
