Today’s audience is just so unpredictable.”“I can’t tell you how many laymen just go, ‘Well, people don’tgo to the moviesanymore,'” she continued. “It should definitely not be such a high-risk financial venture, but I would be quite happy to never return. So no, I am not hopeful, because I would really love to be done.”“But if there were something new that really spoke to me, I am a logical person, and I will always consider viable changes.”In addition toDark Fate, Hamilton played Sarah Connor in 1984’sThe Terminatorand 1991’sTerminator 2: Judgment Day.

But they kept postponing the filming.”“InJudgment Day, it was just the beginning of the fat-free diet,” she continued. “I ate no fat for all those months. More than a year. I would never do that again, because the brain needs fat, the body needs fat. But we didn’t know any better.”Kerry Brown/Skydance Productions/Paramount PicturesAt the time, Hamilton told PEOPLE that she spent a year training forDark Fate.“We worked on functional mobility,” she said. “Everything we did was with movement and trying to get the fast-twitch muscle going again, so that I could spring into action and turn, and run, and do the things that were required. So, the training was very different [toJudgment Day].”The action star added that she “ate no carbs” inpreparation for the role, joking that she “always have to give up something” during training.“But, obviously, the training is different as a woman of a certain age,” Hamilton explained. “I could work out just like I’d had forJudgment Dayand not put on the muscle because you need hormones for that, and I don’t got them!”
