Terminator Zero’s Latest Trailer Is Here to Revamp the Franchise
After numerous unsuccessful reboots and sequels, the Terminator franchise is finally getting animated. Next month, on Judgment Day, Netflix will debut Terminator Zero, a brand new anime set in the world of James Cameron’s iconic franchise. We’ve seen a few glimpses so far but a new trailer is our best look yet.
Created by Mattson Tomlin, Terminator Zero takes place in 2022, when a soldier is sent back in time to protect a scientist whose own AI could bring down Skynet once and for all. Of course, Skynet does not want that, and sends a Terminator back to kill her before this rival AI can be completed.
Only some of that is clear in this trailer, but it’s gorgeous and we are loving it anyway. Check it out.
We don’t hear all of them in the trailer but Timothy Olyphant is the voice of the Terminator; André Holland is scientist Malcolm Lee; Rosario Dawson is Eiko; Ann Dowd is the Prophet; and Sonoya Mizuno is Kokoro.
We’ll have more on Terminator Zero in the coming weeks. But for now, just mark down every Terminator fan’s favorite day: August 29.
