Linda Hamilton has just broken her silence on the poor box office run of her 2019 Terminator: Dark Fate.
The Hollywood actress is widely known for her tough and resilient role as Sarah Connor in Terminator and two of its sequels, Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Terminator: Dark Fate.
During an interview with ComicBook.com, she candidly discussed her experience of filming the last firm of the franchise.
“There were some really significant, maybe … emotional moments in the last one that I wish we had lingered over a little bit more,” the 68-year-old actress said.
Attributing it all to Tim Miller’s directorial failure, about how ‘underwritten’ it was and ‘not well structured’ she continued, “It was kind of underwritten, and I think Tim didn’t feel that some of it was structured properly …”
“I just wish it had slowed down a tiny bit and presented our fans with just a few more moments of humanity,” Hamilton added.
Referring to her on-screen character, she told the outlet, “Well, I’ve always been surprised at the numbers that want to be like Sarah Connor. She physique as well as the physicality – but she’s a very, very unhappy woman, right?”
“I mean, she’s struggling with so much unknown, and it’s just like, ‘No, you don’t want to be like Sarah Connor. She’s a woman in hell. So that has always fascinated me, the way that people want to emulate her. But she’s just a woman living in hell,” Linda Hamilton concluded.
For those unversed, the project had a budget of $185 million, but only grossed $261 million worldwide.
