In fact, he wants to move away from the Sarah Connor / T-800 story entirely.
Now it seems he’s ready to return to the franchise – or, at least, okay a new set of movies and/or TV shows set in the same universe. But, unlike some of the more recent outings, they are destined to ditch the oft-trodden Sarah Connor storyline originally started inThe Terminator.

Speaking toEmpire magazineas part of the first movie’s 40th anniversary celebrations, Cameron revealed that it’s time to move on from the origin story: “This is the moment when you jettison everything that is specific to the last 40 years ofTerminator,” he said.
However, that doesn’t mean starting afresh – just not constantly referring back to the Arnie and Linda Hamilton-fuelled saga: “You get too inside it, and then you lose a new audience because [they] care much less about that stuff than you think they do,” he added.
“I have no doubt that subsequentTerminatorfilms will not only be possible, but they’ll kick ass. But this is the moment where you jettison all the specific iconography.”
“That’s all I’ll say for right now.”
