Meanwhile, Arnold recent ly revealed that the n ew Terminator movie is going to be a return to the storytelling of the 1984 original. The 70-year- old actor starred in the original movie as the titular character - a T- 800 killer cyborg - and said fans of the sci-fi franchise can expect a return to the stripped down story of the cult classic. He said: “I think James Cameron and Tim Miller came up with a concept where they can continue on with the T- 800 but make a whole new movie. “What they are doing now with this one is basically to just take a few very basic characters, like Linda Hamilton’s character and my character, and dismiss everything else. Just move away from all these rules of the timeline and other characters.” — BANG Showbiz
