According to The Terminator creator James Cameron, the director would want any franchise reboot to focus on the more relevant contemporary concern of AI instead of haywire robots, which is a wise choice from the blockbuster veteran when it comes to the potential plot of Terminator 7. James Cameron has never followed the rules of Hollywood movie-making.
