Linda Hamilton and Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'Terminator: Dark Fate' is set to hit the theater on November 1, 2019. While the viewers are waiting eagerly for the release, Linda revealed that she wasn't too sure about the movie. 

Appearing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', the actress revealed that her ex-husband, James Cameron, who also directed the Terminator series, called her multiple times before she decided to call him back. "Jim Cameron called and then he called the second time and then the third time and told it's about work and that's when I decided to call him back," she said.

Linda revealed that she usually does not take calls or reply to texts and likes to be in her zone which she refers to as the "Hamilton zone". However, when she found out that Cameron wanted to talk about work she decided to give him a call. The actress revealed that after having a conversation with Cameron she took some time to think about the movie. Ultimately, she decided to go ahead with the project and bring the movie to life. The actress also revealed that she hadn't met Schwarzenegger in a long time. Going back down the memory lane, she revealed that the last time she met him was during the inauguration of when he was elected as the governor. 

She also spilled some details about the first time they worked together on a film. "The first time was 35 years ago and I was worried about the film because he was in it.," she said. "People were excited but I was a snorty New York actress and I was like I don’t know, but then I went to meet him on set when he was working and I was like alright."

After a long gap, the two teamed up again to work on another series of 'Terminator'. When Kimmel asked her opinion about the movie after its private screening Linda stated that she thought the movie was "okay".  Leaving viewers to guess how the movie would be, Linda sure did manage to keep the audience excited by disclosing no details.
