Director Tim Miller (Deadpool) gave an update on the progress made on Terminator: Dark Fate. The film’s official Twitter account posted a photo of him working in the editing bay (via Collider) and promises fans will see more of the James Cameron-produced Terminator flick very soon.

“I like to spend every #TerminatorDay in a dark room thinking dark thoughts & our edit bay is the perfect place! We're here putting the finishing touches on our FIRST TRAILER-we're just weeks away from releasing this fucker into the wild & we're very, very excited.” -Tim Miller pic.twitter.com/Eh0gcCRi61

“I like to spend every #TerminatorDay in a dark room thinking dark thoughts & our edit bay is the perfect place! We’re here putting the finishing touches on our FIRST TRAILER-we’re just weeks away from releasing this f***er into the wild & we’re very, very excited,” the caption read, attributed to Miller.

Terminator: Dark Fate will see Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising their roles. They will also share the screen with newcomers Mackenzie Davis (Blade Runner 2049), Natalia Reyes (Birds of Passage) and Gabriel Luna (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.).

Paramount and Skydance are hoping the return of Cameron and Hamilton will reinvigorate the franchise, which has struggled of late. Its most recent entry Terminator: Genisys (2015) had a domestic box office take of just $89 million. This is the worst box office performance in the series since the modest original film. Terminator: Genisys—a soft reboot of the franchise which starred Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor and Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese—received mixed reviews. It remains to be seen whether Terminator: Dark Fate will trigger a change in the wind for the franchise, or continue the previous film’s downward trend.
