June 26, 2003 — There is a lot of pressure on Director Jonathan Mostow to create a Terminator film that lives up to its' predecessors. Mostow talks about this to SCI FI:

"That's about 'Wow, those are two great movies you're following up. What are you possibly going to do to [live up to them]?'" he said. "Forget about exceeding them. Even to come up with something that can stand on its own as sort of the third installment of a trilogy and make it feel like it's part of a whole. ... The bet that I madeand we'll find out if I'm rightwas that ... the reason ... people love these movies is [that] the stories were great. ... That was the creative challenge: ... Could we come up with a story and then execute it with performances that were in that league? And that's what kept me up at night, not the money. Because it wasn't my money."
