Linda Hamilton Wanted Fat Sarah Conner In TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

Terminator: Dark Fate is now available on Blu-ray. And today star Linda Hamilton says she pitched a … different version of Sarah Conner back when talks first began on the new entry.

She tells CinemaBlend: “The shock value, I think, sort of plants everybody in, immediately. I actually kept arguing that maybe she should just be fat. That would have shock value too. There was the element of shock in between Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgement Day, where the audience sees Sarah Connor and they’re like ‘Holy fuck!’ So I thought that coming back 30 years later would give our audience a ‘Holy fuck!’ moment. Like ‘Oh that ain’t the old Sarah Connor, that’s the old Sarah Connor.’ I embraced that, and dyed my hair grey, because I actually don’t have grey hair yet, which is just genetics.”

Terminator: Dark Fate centered on a newly modified liquid Terminator – the Rev-9 model – who arrives from the future to kill a young factory worker named Dani Ramos. Also sent back in time is Grace, a hybrid cyborg human who must protect Ramos from the seemingly indestructible robotic assassin. But the two women soon find some much-needed help from a pair of unexpected allies — seasoned warrior Sarah Connor and the T-800 Terminator.

It is now available on Blu-ray and digital.
