'Terminator: Dark Fate' Director Tim Miller Lashes Out At James Cameron

Tim Miller, the director of “Terminator: Dark Fate,” has revealed that he won’t be working with filmmaker James Cameron in the future after his latest movie bombed at the box office.

There were several reports before the release of the film claiming that Miller and Cameron had creative differences during the production of the sixth installment in the franchise. At the time, Miller suggested that he did not have any control whatsoever on the project and everything happened as Cameron wanted.

According to Metro, the “Deadpool” helmer confirmed the reports and shared that he would not be collaborating with the “Titanic” filmmaker again in the future.

Speaking to KCRW radio station, Miller shared that the decision has nothing to do with the trauma he had to go through while working on the movie. The director noted that he just doesn’t want to be in a situation where he doesn’t have the authority to think about what is wrong and what is right for his film.

“It’s more than I just don’t want to be in a situation again where I don’t have the control to do what I think is right,” Miller said.

The 49-year-old filmmaker further stated that he also felt an obligation to “fight for the movie.”

“Even though I am going to lose the fight. I still feel this obligation to fight because that is what the director is supposed to do. Fight for the movie,” Miller explained.

But later in the interview, he admitted that he has a better social relationship with the “Avatar” helmer as they exchanged a few emails recently.

The arrival of the latest installment failed to perform at the box office after debuting with a dismal $29 million in the U.S. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film only took in a worldwide total of $123.6 million in its opening weekend after tallying it with the foreign box office numbers.

As of late, the movie has accumulated $249.3 million worldwide against an estimated production budget of $185 million. The film, which brought back original stars Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger together on the big screen, is predicted to lose more than $120 million for distributors Skydance, 20th Century Fox and Paramount.
