He’ll be back, in November

Catral dressed up as Mexico in new Terminator flim

THE EXPLOSIVE trailer for the sixth Terminator movie, Dark Fate, has been released and features footage filmed in Catral and on new roads at Murcia international airport in Corvera.

It opens with a tracking shot of the motorway, followed by a truck crashing through a wall that had been built especially in Catral’s San Juan industrial estate.

Both locations, and others in neighbourhoods of Cartagena, had been stage dressed to seem like parts of Mexico, where the action is set.

A film crew of more than 500 people descended on the area last summer, spending two weeks in July in Catral, although the footage from there is only expected to take up 2-3 minutes of the movie.

The Paramount production reunites the original Terminator director James Cameron as writer and executive producer, with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton as the cyborg assassin and his target, Sarah Connor respectively.

The story is a continuation from Cameron’s 1991 sequel T2: Judgement Day, and ignores the plot developments of the subsequent, less successful films in the series.

It has been directed by Tim Miller who scored a global hit with Deadpool and is due for release in November.
