Make no mistake - he'd still snap most of us like twigs.

I could beat Arnold in a fight I bet, even if it meant "cheating" and smashing his head in with a pipe.

What if he was a moving target:

He has detailed files.. but he can't remember where he put them.

Random biker: "Lemme guess, you need my clothes, my boots and my motorcycle?"

Old Ass Arnie Terminator: "No, I need to use your facilities. My bladda feels about thees BEEG."

Much LOLs were had at these posts.


In seriousness though I'm really looking forward to this now. Very curious to see the revisits to 1984 and 1995. I'll quote this post in a couple of years time and wonder what the **** I was thinking ''If only he knew''

No Arnie cover. Strange.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

I liked Jason Clarke in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes quite a bit.

He should make for a good John.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

I must have missed that Matt Smith was in this. He is presumably...Kyle Connor? Not sure Jason Clarke looks old enough to be his dad though....

And yeah, barring changing his race or gender, they really couldn't have cast a Kyle Reese who looks less like Michael Biehn than Jai Courtney does.

 

[DiFabio]

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

He looks like he should be a Terminator.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

Is that one of the New Doctor Who's?

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

They all look really odd. Aside from Emilia, I wouldn't really be able to tell who is playing who upon first glance.

No Arnie cover. Strange.

Yeah, that's a strange one.

Everything sounds and looks so weird... need to see the trailer ASAP.

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

No Arnie cover. Strange.

Isn't that Arnie behind John and Dr. Who?

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

It's just EW's photoshoots. They're always usually odd looking.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Re: Terminator: Genisys (July 1st, 2015)

I wish I still got EW.

With that scowl, swollen cheeks and overdeveloped brow and jawline, Jai Courtney doesn't look like Kyle Reese or The Terminator. He looks like the missing link.

Looking ****e. Ugh.....

From Screencrush:

For a film that’s set to come out next summer, we’ve heard precious little about ‘Terminator: Genisys.’ The latest attempt to resurrect a franchise that was, at one time, one of the coolest film series in the world, the fifth ‘Terminator’ film surrounds original star Arnold Schwarzenegger with a bunch of people you really like, puts a nerd-friendly guy in the director’s chair and crosses its fingers an hopes for the best. Now, we have our first look at the new cast members and the vague outline of a plot, which sounds pretty crazy.

The film is the subject of Entertainment Weekly’s next cover story and the magazine is offering two separate covers. The first features the dependably awesome Jason Clarke as John Connor, the man whose future resistance to SkyNet’s robotic uprising fuels the entire series, and former ‘Doctor Who’ Matt Smith as one of John’s “mysterious allies.” Do we smell some kind of plot twist coming with that character? The second cover features Emilia Clarke, AKA, Daenerys Targaryen from ‘Game of Thrones,’ as the new Sarah Connor and Jai Courtney, AKA, that boring guy from ‘Live Free or Die Hard,’ as the new Kyle Reese. They may look nothing like Linda Hamilton and Michael Biehn, but hey, we’ll give them a chance. Courtney in particular is bound to accidentally impress one of these days.

The covers are typical EW stuff (i.e., they’re pretty lousy and lame and over-lit), but it’s the accompanying preview text that should grab your interest. It turns out that ‘Terminator: Genisys’ begins where 1984′s ‘The Terminator’ began: with John Connor sending Kyle Reese back in time to save his mother from a time-traveling cyborg … but something is different:

Terminator 5' First Look, Plus Major Changes to the History

The beginning of Terminator: Genisys, the first of three planned films that Paramount hopes will relaunch the beloved sci-fi franchise, is set in 2029, when the Future War is raging and a group of human rebels has the evil artificial-intelligence system Skynet on the ropes. John Connor (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Jason Clarke) is the leader of the resistance, and Kyle Reese (Divergent‘s Jai Courtney) is his loyal soldier, raised in the ruins of post apocalyptic California. As in the original film, Connor sends Reese back to 1984 to save Connor’s mother, Sarah (Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator programmed to kill her so that she won’t ever give birth to John. But what Reese finds on the other side is nothing like he expected.

What’s different this time around? Well, it’s pretty wacky, so brace yourself:

Twist No. 1? Sarah Connor isn’t the innocent she was when Linda Hamilton first sported feathered hair and acid-washed jeans in the role. Nor is she Hamilton’s steely zero body-fat warrior in 1991’s T2. Rather, 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.


We knew that ‘Terminator: Genisys’ was going to use time travel to jump all over the franchise’s history and rewrite/reboot the series in the process, but that’s even nuttier than expected. The idea that Reese goes back in time to involve himself in the events of ‘The Terminator’ only to find that those events have been wiped out of existence by other time travel meddlers is just bonkers. And that’s before we get to the part about the aging Terminator who acts as Sarah’s surrogate father.
Does this mean we’ll get to see old Arnold Schwarzenegger battle a young version of himself over the life of Sarah Connor? We have no freakin’ idea. This movie, man.
