Cameron worked together with David Ellison to produce the 2019 film "Terminator: Dark Fate". As the film neared its release, Hurd filed to terminate a copyright grant made 35 years earlier. Under this move, Hurd would again become a 50-percent owner of the rights with Cameron, and Skydance could lose the rights to make any additional "Terminator" films beginning in November 2020, unless a new deal is worked out. Skydance responded that it had a deal in place with Cameron and that it "controls the rights to the "Terminator" franchise for the foreseeable future".
