It’s good to follow your gut, but don’t ignore the advice of a legendary filmmaker.
Tim Miller was a director to watch after his success with the R-rated superhero film Deadpool. After being named the director to helm a reboot of the Terminator franchise, Miller was confident that his “rock-hard nerd belief” would make Terminator: Dark Fate a success.
Terminator: Dark Fate ended up being a box office bomb. Although the franchise installment was a labor of love for Miller, he admits that his own desire to create what he wanted to see on the big screen wasn’t enough to satisfy audiences.
According to ScreenRant, Miller told audiences during Collider’s Directors on Directing Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend, “I went in with the rock-hard nerd belief that if I made a good movie that I wanted to see, it would do well. And I was wrong. It was one of those fucking ‘eureka’ moments in a bad way because the movie tanked.”
