James Cameron wants everyone to know that "Terminator: Dark Fate" is "a white-knuckle ride."

The first teaser trailer for the movie dropped earlier today, and now producer/co-writer Cameron is hyping it up in a behind-the-scenes featurette.

"It's gritty, it's fast, it's intense," he says of what is being described as a direct sequel to his 1991 film "Terminator 2: Judgment Day."

The featurette focuses heavily on the return of Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor. It also includes commentary from director Tim Miller and stars Arnold Schwarznegger and Natalia Reyes. And There's some tantalizing footage of Mackenzie Davis filming action-heavy setpieces.

Many questions remain — why does Davis' cyborg think she's human? What is the exact nature of the new terminator played by Gabriel Luna? Why is Reyes' character so special? And where is John Connor in all of this?

"Terminator: Dark Fate" opens in theaters November 1.
