The studios had long wanted to make a sequel to the previous Terminator films, but for a long time Arnold Schwarzenegger refused to do it unless James Cameron was directing. Cameron eventually told his friend to 'Just do it and ask for a shit-load of money,' reasoning that the character was as much Schwarzenegger's as it was his. Schwarzenegger confirmed this in a talk-show interview, saying that when he asked, Cameron told him to 'take the money and run'.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's fee for reprising his role was $29.25 million, a record at the time. His contract was 33 pages long and written by Hollywood super-lawyer Jacob A. Bloom between June 2000 and December 2001. It was written into the contract as a 'pay or play' fee, meaning he would get paid whether or not the movie was made. His 'perk package' included a lump sum of $1.5 million for private jets, a fully equipped gym trailer, three-bedroom deluxe suites on location, round-the-clock limousines, and personal bodyguards. He also insisted on, and got, 20% of the gross receipts made by the venture from every market in the world-including movie theaters, videos, DVDs, television licensing, in-flight entertainment, game licensing, and so forth-once the movie had reached its cash break-even point. Such 'contingent compensation' is not unusual in movie contracts, but, in most cases, Hollywood accounting famously uses smoke and mirrors to make sure to define 'break-even' in such a way that a movie never reaches it. Schwarzenegger also could decide who worked with him. The contract 'pre-approval' clause gave him choice of not only the director (Jonathan Mostow) and the principal cast, but also his hairdresser (Peter Tothpal), his makeup man (Jeff Dawn), his driver (Howard Velasco), his stand-in (Dieter Rauter), his stunt double (Billy D. Lucas), the unit publicist (Sheryl Main), his personal physician (Dr. Graham Waring), and his cook (Steve Hunter). The negotiation of this contract did not come cheaply. The legal and accounting budget for the movie was $2 million. By the time all of Schwarzenegger's demands were met, the budget of the film had risen to $187.3 million, making it the most expensive independently produced movie in history.

When the Terminator is holding a cache of weapons hidden inside of Sarah Connor's coffin, the coffin was lightweight, but still very heavy; the scene was even more difficult for Arnold Schwarzenegger because the weapon he was firing at the time was extremely heavy, even for someone like him. A harness holding it up but digitally erased helped him to film the scene. Another thing that made it difficult was Schwarzenegger's jacket weighed about 40 pounds.

The character of Kate Brewster's fiancé was originally named Scott Petersen. Due to the name's similarity to Scott Peterson (a California man convicted of murdering his pregnant wife and their unborn child (named Conner, as a matter of fact) in late 2002 while out fishing) and the plot of his fiancée's kidnapping, the character's name was changed to Scott Mason, although he's still listed as Scott Petersen in the credits.

Danes started filming immediately and basically learned about her character on the job. Danes later said this may have helped her performance, as Kate Brewster's character was similarly thrust into a strange new reality with no warning.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) came under fire for being too sentimental when it came to Arnold Schwarzenegger being a good Terminator. Jonathan Mostow tried to avoid that by adding some ambiguities to Schwarzenegger's character, e.g. refusing John Connor's orders, even mistreating him in certain scenes, being corrupted by the T-X at the climax, etc. Mostow said that the sentiment was appropriate for the second movie where the Terminator was a sort-of father figure to John, but for this movie, he wanted Terminator to be more of a tough drill instructor like Louis Gossett Jr. in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982).

The novelization gives us some background information on Kate's relationship with her father. General Brewster was such a workaholic his wife left him. Mrs. Brewster approved of Kate's engagement, but Kate wanted her father's approval too. He granted it, but never met Scott. Kate was an only child. Also, she is not sure about marrying Scott, and he is nervous about meeting her father. Kate enjoys working with animals because you know where you stand with them. When Kate was born, her family was stationed in Germany, at Ramstein. Because she was born as an 'Air Force child' it explains why she knows the difference between a real gun and a paintball gun when John pulls one on her.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jonathan Mostow wanted to make the new Terminator more robotic than the Terminator in the previous film Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), who had become more human, due to his CPU when coming into contact with humans and John teaching the Terminator to be more human than robotic. If the Terminator in the previous movie was a father figure to John, then this one would be more of a trainer who pushes his trainee to the maximum, like Louis Gossett Jr. in An Officer and a Gentleman (1982).

Originally there was never going to be a good Terminator - just a Terminator that goes back in time to ensure that Judgment Day occurs. The Terminator could still control other machines, just as the T-X does, which would cause the military's weapons to target John Connor. However, it was deemed more bankable for Arnold Schwarzenegger to play a good Terminator.

Obviously, the unstable fuel cells that the Terminator removes from his stomach which is damaged by the T-X, which creates a big explosion, which the Terminator uses to destroy the T-X as well as himself, is an upgrade. Between 2029 and 2032, the year The Terminator was sent back through time to protect John and Kate, the T-101 Terminator androids were upgraded. If The T-800 Terminator in the original film had an unstable fuel cell, when Kyle Reese blew up the Terminator with a pipe bomb in the factory scene, the explosion would had been big enough to also kill Sarah.

A scene was actually written and but was left out of the final film because it was incomplete. The scene would take place right after the Terminator says, 'She'll be back.' In the written scene, General Brewster noticed the Terminator resembling Sgt. Candy (as explained in the famous deleted Sgt. Candy scene) and asked whether he is Sgt. Candy. The Terminator said no, but remarked, 'I was made here.' (in CRS). The producers had to omit the scene due to an on set problem (an assistant director went missing that prevented Arnold Schwarzenegger from continuing that scene) not to mention with the film running behind schedule. Also, they feared that the audience will not get the idea of Sgt. Candy without this scene, and so they had to remove the earlier one.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's favorite moments from the Terminator franchise are when the Terminator tries to be human because it's something funny and not just action and violence and the most important thing to the Terminator is to blend in, and when he does he fails miserably and that always gets a big laugh from the audience.

In the script, the name of the woman the T-X stole her clothes and car from was Nancy Nebel. The woman was also wearing a thong, something else the T-X puts on. The T-X also talks to Nebel's boyfriend over the phone, in Nebel's own voice. She links with the Skynet in this era. She also doesn't enlarge her breasts like she does in the film. The name of the traffic cop who pulls her over is called Barnes, and when he saw how sexy she is, he decided to rip up the ticket and ask her out. The T-X killed him in a parking lot.

Tedi Sarafian wrote a script for the movie, but since his ideas would have resulted in the movie costing more than $200 million (a scene featured a Boeing crashing in downtown LA and exploding half of the city) his script was refused. Some of his ideas were used, though, (the evil Terminator is a woman, Sarah Connor doesn't appear), so he earned a 'story' credit.

This was intended to be the first of the two back-to-back Terminator movies developed by Mario Kassar and Andrew G. Vajna back in 1999. It was to be originally written by Tedi Sarafian, while the second-half, codenamed Project Angel by Warner Bros (eventually became Terminator Salvation (2009)) was to be written by David C. Wilson due for a 2003 release which is to take place immediately after the events of this film. Had there been no script revisions, the film could have been released in 2001. After the film's release, actors work commitments, including Arnold Schwarzenegger's term as Governor of California prompted the Project Angel script to be rewritten again from scratch- including moving the time setting by writers John Brancato and Michael Ferris under Jonathan Mostow's supervision. However, by 2006, Kassar and Vajna decided to end their business relationship and sold their rights to Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. The original idea for the fourth film was ultimately scrapped.

Whenever there was any exposition, Jonathan Mostow kept the story ongoing, just like in the last two films. In fact Mostow likened the film to more of a road movie than the others, what with so many scenes shot on the road. He filmed those scenes in stationary cars against a green screen, with the moving background edited in via SFX later, so that the cast would not have any distractions and could focus completely on their performances.

He also gets bitten by a rattlesnake (which does appear in the film) but his refusal to kill organic life (because of reprogramming) means he just throws it away. Another thing that's reversed is the T-X's murder of Jose Barrera and William and Elizabeth Anderson. She finds Jose by calling his mother in Spanish.

The trivia items below may give away important plot points.
The storyboards for the Judgement Day scenes near the end of the film were much more graphic than what was seen in the film, and included images such as the Statue of Liberty melting, the Hollywood sign going up in flames and even Dr. Silberman being incinerated by a nuclear blast. However, the VFX team were told that it was 'too soon after 9/11' to show such graphic destruction, and that only a single nuclear explosion should be seen, and that it should actually be of relatively poor quality compared to what was seen in the second film. The full and dramatic effect of the Judgment Day nuclear war wouldn't be seen again until the prologue of Terminator Genisys (2015).

Many Terminator fans were infuriated by this film's perceived moral, that fate is real and that the future is inevitable. This is because it completely undermines the moral of Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), being that there is 'no fate but what we make for ourselves'. What many fans did not realize is that the previous movie also stated that 'it is in [humanity's] nature to destroy [itself]', and it seems due to this that Judgment Day is inevitable, not because the future cannot be changed.

Building an actual particle accelerator would have cost 1.5 million dollars, so due to budget restrictions, the particle accelerator was a digital matte painting in some shots. A short section of it was built in reality, for the scenes where John, Kate and the T-X are running alongside it. For separate shots, the set dressers would slightly re-arrange it, so it would not look completely obvious that they were running past the same section over and over (as production designer Jeff Mann put it, to avoid the 'Flintstone effect'). According to director Jonathan Mostow on the commentary track, as much of the footage was used as possible, just cutting away before the point where the actors literally ran off the set.
