10 Directors Who Admitted Their Movie SUCKED

There was a lot of initial excitement when Deadpool director Tim Miller was announced to be helming the sixth Terminator movie, because the series desperately needed a filmmaker with a real vision for the series, rather than a workmanlike director simply approaching it as another gig.

Miller made it clear he was a huge fan of the series and hoped to get it back on track with Dark Fate, though per the wildly divisive fan response and atrocious box office performance, it was clearly a film that failed to connect.

In a recent interview at San Diego Comic-Con, Miller spoke about the eye-opening experience of working on a movie he initially believed in, yet whose failure caused him to realise his approach for the project wasn't right:

"Terminator's an interesting movie to explore, but maybe we've explored it enough... 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 f**king Eureka moments in a bad way because the movie tanked."

When the interviewer argued that Dark Fate didn't tank because it made its budget back, Miller tellingly replied, "Then why aren't people returning my phone calls?"

Miller added that he now thinks there's a wholly different direction that the franchise needs to go in:

"I think if you make a lower cost Terminator movie, a good director and movie star could make it great. It could be made with sock puppets and it could be awesome. I'd like to do a Terminator CG."
