Director James Cameron recently announced he is penning a script for Terminator 7 and here's everything we know about the long-awaited legacy sequel. The franchise was launched back in 1984 with the release of Cameron's blockbuster sleeper hit, The Terminator, which saw a deadly cyborg assassin travel from the future to eliminate Sarah Connor before she could give birth to humanity's savior. Naturally, the box office appeal of the '80s classic gave way to an even more successful sequel in the '90s, and a cinematic juggernaut was born.
