James Cameron is working on a new Terminator project – but he’s not giving anything away.

“It looks interesting,” Cameron toldThe Hollywood Reporter, when asked aboutNetflix’s upcoming Terminator Zero anime. “My relationship to that is very much like The Sarah Connor Chronicles – other people spinning stories in a world I set in motion is interesting to me. What’s their takeaway? What intrigued them about it? Where are they going with it? It looks like they’re going back to the root cause of Judgment Day – the nuclear war – and whether that’s an ultimate timeline. I’d be curious to see what they’ve come up with. I’m working on my own Terminator stuff right now. It’s got nothing to do with that. Like with The Sarah Connor Chronicles, they occasionally touched on things I had been playing with completely independently. So there’s some curiosity there. It’s not a burning curiosity, but, obviously, it’d be nice to see it succeed.”

When asked for further details on the project, though, Cameron was tight-lipped: “It’s totally classified. I don’t want to have to send out a potentially dangerous robotic agent if you were to talk about it, even retroactively.”
