Everything is a Weapon in Red Band Trailer for ‘TERMINATOR: DARK FATE’

By Matt Oakes · October 18, 2019

It’s been 28 years (that’s since 1991 for those folks at home doing math) since the Terminator franchise has delivered a wholly satisfying movie. But like its once beef-cake star, it keeps coming back for more. With Terminator: Dark Fate, the sixth entry in the franchise that began in 1984, the movie is returning to its R-rating roots (the first since T3: Rise of the Machines) and the latest NSFW trailer wants you to know it. And they’ve packed all the F-bombs and good old blood and guts to prove it.

With Deadpool director Tim Miller onboard and James Cameron back producing , Dark Fate reunites original co-stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton while introducing a new Terminator in Gabriel Luna. New cast members include Mackenzie Davis, Natalia Reyes, and Diego Boneta.

Official synopsis below:

More than two decades have passed since Sarah Connor prevented Judgment Day, changed the future, and re-wrote the fate of the human race. Dani Ramos (Natalia Reyes) is living a simple life in Mexico City with her brother (Diego Boneta) and father when a highly advanced and deadly new Terminator – a Rev-9 (Gabriel Luna) – travels back through time to hunt and kill her. Dani’s survival depends on her joining forces with two warriors: Grace (Mackenzie Davis), an enhanced super-soldier from the future, and a battle-hardened Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton). As the Rev-9 ruthlessly destroys everything and everyone in its path on the hunt for Dani, the three are led to a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from Sarah’s past that may be their last best hope.
