‘Terminator: Genisys’ Gets New Images, Teaser For Tomorrow’s Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Already feeling mixed thoughts about next year’s Terminator: Genisys? A new batch of images for the film, along with a tiny teaser for a trailer set to release tomorrow, have been released online… and they may not sway you in the positive direction.

Sure, the images look very promo-y, and certainly don’t appear to be stills from the finished product, but to my untrained eye, they look super cheesy, which I’m not overly looking for in an anticipated Terminator film.

The teaser definitely looks better than any of these promo images, but it’s also really hard to judge something from 15 seconds of choice footage (not that we should really be judging the film at this point anyways).

In any case, take a look at everything below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! Don’t forget to check back tomorrow for Terminator: Genisys‘ full trailer!

The Next ‘Terminator’ Has Wrapped… And Now Has An Official Title

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’m really looking forward to the next Terminator film. It’s got a stellar cast consisting of Arnold Schwarzenegger (of course), Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Jason Clarke, JK Simmons, and many more. Thor: The Dark World director Alan Taylor is at the helm, and the film aims to be the start of a new trilogy that could not possibly end as poorly as the last one.

I’m still excited for the film, even if today it received an official, stupid subtitle. The rumoured title has been Terminator: Genesis for some time now, but now the film has officially been named Terminator: Genisys.

Yeah, I’m sure it’s got something to do with some tech company or similar entity, but still, it sounds pretty silly.

Production on the film has also wrapped, so longtime Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger said the following on his official Facebook page (try not to read it in his voice):

Hasta la vista, baby.
I want to thank the cast and crew of Terminator Genisys for a fantastic shoot. It was challenging, it was fun, and it was rewarding. From our director to the producers, from the camera team to catering, from visual effects to hair and makeup – we couldn’t have done it without you. I can’t wait to see our finished project and I know we’ll remind the fans why they fell in love with the Terminator. On July 1, 2015, I’ll be back.

Are you a fan of the title? Are you excited for the film? Sound out below!

J.K. Simmons Joins ‘Terminator’ Reboot

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The cast of Alan Taylor’s Terminator: Genesis (or whatever it ends up being called) is growing once more.

THR has reported that Spider-Man‘s J.K. Simmons has joined the project as “a weary and alcoholic detective who has followed a bizarre case involving Sarah Connor and robots for more than three decades.”

Little information on the film has been revealed at this point, but we of course know that Arnold Schwarzenegger, Emilia Clarke, and Jason Clarke are starring in the film, which will hit theatres on June 26th, 2015.

Are you looking forward to the reboot? Would you have preferred that they’d continued Salvation? Sound out below!

Jai Courtney Is The New Kyle Reese

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We already know that Emilia Clarke is our new Sarah Connor, and that Jason Clarke is John Connor in the upcoming Terminator reboot. Today, Paramount Pictures revealed the new Kyle Reese.

It’s Jai Courtney, who will soon show up in Divergent, and recently starred in I, Frankenstein and A Good Day to Die Hard.

No plot details have been announced at this time (but it’s probably not the awesome sounding 1940’s-1950’s origin story), but as was revealed before, this will be the first film in a new Terminator trilogy.

Is Courtney a good fit for the role? Or is there someone else you’d rather see? Let us know! The yet-untitled Terminator reboot hits theatres on June 26th, 2015!

‘Game Of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke Is The New Sarah Connor!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: The mother of dragons is now the mother of John Connor.

That’s right. Game of Thrones Emilia Clarke has just been cast in Alan Taylor’s Terminator reboot as Sarah Connor.

This is the first official casting news from the project aside from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the franchise. Deadline reports that Zero Dark Thirty‘s Jason Clarke is still in negotiations for the role of John Connor.

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on the reboot as further casting is announced. The film is slated to hit theatres in July 2015, so I’d imagine that we’ll hear more very soon.

Do you think the Clarke will be able to stand up to the likes of Linda Hamilton and Lena Heady, or is there someone else you’d rather have seen in the role? Sound out below!

‘Terminator’ Reboot Coming June 26th, 2015!

by Derek Kraneveldt

There is no fate but what we make for ourselves: the Terminator franchise is about to change immensely.

Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have just announced that a rebooted Terminator will launch on June 26th, 2015. Set to be the first film in a stand-alone trilogy, the reboot will not be connected to the already established timeline that started with 1984’s The Terminator.

The reboot is yet to sign a director, but Laeta Kalorgridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry) are currently writing the script.

Interestingly enough, even though Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed earlier this month that he was attached to the project, his role is not mentioned in the press release. Also, being that this is a different timeline and trilogy altogether, it’s unlikely that the rumoured 1940’s/1950’s origin story will actually make it onscreen.

Take a look at the full press release below, and let us know what you think of the news!

x_Terminator_Spas10

Skydance Productions, Annapurna Pictures and Paramount Pictures have jointly announced they will partner on a rebooted “TERMINATOR” movie, to be released by Paramount Pictures on June 26, 2015.
 
The first in a stand-alone trilogy, “TERMINATOR” will be produced by Megan Ellison of Annapurna and David Ellison of Skydance. Dana Goldberg and Paul Schwake of Skydance will serve as executive producers. Laeta Kalorgridis (“Avatar,” “Shutter Island”) and Patrick Lussier (“Drive Angry”) are attached to write the screenplay.
 
Launched in 1984 with star Arnold Schwarzenegger as the title character, “TERMINATOR” spanned 3 subsequent films, which have earned over $1 billion at the worldwide box office.
 
David Ellison most recently executive produced, along with his partners at Paramount, “World War Z,” “Star Trek Into Darkness,” “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” and “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol”. A 5th installment of in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise is in active development, along with a 3rd film in the “G.I. Joe” franchise, among other films.
 
Megan Ellison most recently produced the Academy Award®-nominated “Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Master” and executive produced “Spring Breakers” via her Annapurna Pictures banner and has David O. Russell’s “American Hustle,” Spike Jonze’s “Her,” and Bennett Miller’s “Foxcatcher” set for release later this year.

Rumour: Dwayne Johnson To Join ‘Terminator 5’?

by Derek Kraneveldt

This sounds crazy.

Just a week after Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed his involvement with the next instalment of the Terminator franchise, another potential cast member, as well as some extremely intriguing plot details have been revealed.

Keep in mind that everything here is a rumour, but if true, this could be the craziest Terminator yet.

WWE Examiner has reported that the Terminator 5 script is being developed with Dwayne Johnson in mind, and that the actor is currently being courted for a starring role in the film. Johnson’s a cool guy, and he would fit well in almost any action flick, but that’s not even the most interesting takeaway here. The article goes on to state some apparent plot details:

Incredibly, Schwarzenegger may not play the role of a machine in the next film, but a potentially heroic human figure in or close to the Connor family. One theory is that Schwarzenegger’s remarkable ability to protect the Connor family in the 1940s or 1950s with antiquated weaponry by today’s standards ultimately inspired the machines to develop a terminator in his likeness that was eventually sent to 1984 when Sarah Connor was first targeted for termination.

That would make an amazing plot twist, don’t you think? We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on this one, as this is one rumour that I’d love to see come to fruition.

Schwarzenegger Confirmed As The Terminator In T5 With Filming Beginning In January!

by Shane O'Hare

This JUST IN! THIS JUST IN! After rumors of Paramount finalizing everything for a fifth Terminator movie, it has come out today that Ahhhrrnold himself will reprise his role as the cybernetic organism with living tissue over metal endoskeleton AKA The Terminator.

Fresh out of the 21st Century Financial Education Summit, Arnold was quoted as saying

In fact, I’m very happy that the studios want me to be in Terminator 5 and to star AS the Terminator, which we start shooting in January and I’m also going to do King Conan – to play that role and also to do another Twins movie. So I feel very proud of that. I feel very happy and I’m looking forward to doing those films.

Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island) and Patrick Lussier (Drive Angry) are working on the script, while Justin Lin was lined up to direct the film at first, but wandered off and did Fast 6 instead.

It will be interesting to see how they work his age into the film. It made sense in T-3 as he was based off an already living person (Sargent Candy). They could de-age him ALA X-Men, but I think it may get a little too uncanny valley for viewers. Also, how will the events from Salvation play into this film, as that is now technically canon.

Nothing else to report, but  you can expect a boat load come San Diego Comic Con!

He told you he’d be back. There’s no official quotes released yet, but Bleeding Cool have reported that Arnold Schwarzenegger will definitely be back for the next film in the Terminator franchise.

At first Schwarzenegger wasn’t too sure about doing another film in the franchise but over time he has warmed up to the idea of it and is now fully on board. Schwarzenegger confirmed his involvement with the project as well as the announced Conan movie and a sequel to Twins. This news follows the news of the film finding two new writers. No other details regarding the project have been revealed at the moment.
