Terminator Genisys is the title for the fifth film in the franchise and a short teaser has been released ahead of tomorrow’s first trailer.
Arnold Schwarzenegger (right, sort-of) is back!… in his original role, which was a T-800 Terminator. IMDB just lists him as “The Terminator”, while fitness-trainer-to-the-stars Aaron V. Williamson is listed as “T-800”. The reason for that, in a hastily-deleted tweet from the latter, is that Williamson is playing a younger T-800.
Other cast members cast include Jai Courtney (best known for the god-awful
A Good Day To Die Hard) as Kyle Reese, Jason Clarke (Malcolm in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as John Connor, British actress Emilia Clarke (no relation) playing Sarah Connor, John’s mother – but Ms Clarke is almost 20 years younger, Byung-hun Lee (Storm Shadow in the terrible G.I. Joe: Retalliation), Courtney B. Vance (ER, FlashForward, Revenge) as Miles Dyson, an as-yet-unnamed character for Matt Smith (Doctor Who) and it’s directed by Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World and Game of Thrones).
All that’s known so far is that it Sandrine Holt (House of Cards), as Detective Cheung, will “arrest Kyle and Sarah when they arrive in 2017.”
The film was originally going to be called “Terminator Genesys”. Genesis? Genisys? # Let’s call the whole thing off… #
Either way, Terminator Genisys has been put back for cinema release from June 26th to July 3rd 2015.
