Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the franchise that rocketed him to the top has fresh blood very much at the fore. Entertainment Weekly have been giving anxious fans a taster of what to expect over the last 48 hours, and while the unmistakeable Austrian Oak is in evidence, the cover story gives prominence to the new young cast…
Hot off the heels of looks at everyone’s favourite chrome-skeletoned killing machine, as well as Schwarzenegger’s ageing human form, are images of Games Of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke and former Doctor Who Matt Smith, shown in full battle mode as they let rip with lead and, eventually, laryngitis going by the expressions…
Clarke takes on the role of Sarah Connor, who appears to have been rebooted in the mould of Edward Furlong’s John Connor from TERMINATOR 2:
(The) mother of humanity’s messiah was orphaned by a Terminator at age 9. Since then, she’s been raised by (brace yourself) Schwarzenegger’s Terminator—an older T-800 she calls “Pops”—who is programmed to guard rather than to kill. As a result, Sarah is a highly trained antisocial recluse who’s great with a sniper rifle but not so skilled at the nuances of human emotion.
Also featured is the latest version of John, with Jason Clarke following in the footsteps of Furlong and Christian Bale:
Details about Smith’s part are yet to be released. Directed by Alan Taylor, TERMINATOR: GENISYS will blast its way into cinemas on July 1st 2015.
