Five months before it premieres in cinemas, football and Terminator fans see a glimpse of what they can expect in Terminator Genisys. The trailer of the film top billed by California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is one of the many perks everyone watch during 2015 Super Bowl where New England Patriots won.
Slated to release on July 1, Terminator Genisys is one of the most anticipated movies this year. Schwarzenegger is definitely back in this robotic film and this time he's co-stars are young actors such as Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke and Jai Courtney of Divergent. Does the former body builder feel something special with this sequel?
In his interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 67-yesr old action shared that he knew that there's another reboot for Terminator and as for the movie's success, the equation was simple.
"'I knew eventually that another Terminator was going to get made. People always have to go through that painful experience of doing a sequel, or something like that, without me,'" Arnold, who appeared in three sequels of the film except in Terminator Salvation in 2009.
"When I look at history, anytime a movie was well-done, it was huge. If a movie is made well, if it's a great character, if it's well acted out, then people are going to come and see it. It's so simple."
Meanwhile, technology makes it also simple to see the old and new Terminator in one movie. Thanks to CGI, the 1984 form of Arnie appears once more for moviegoers.
On the other note, doing action scenes for 27-year old Emilia wasn't something she never thought about in playing Sarah Connor.
"The thing I didn't know about action movies is that when someone is running on screen, they are really running. No one looks brilliant running on camera," Clark said. "That's an embarrassing day when you look at yourself and think, 'Oh, yeah, I look like an idiot. I should fix that."
Other talents in the film are Matt Smith of Doctor Who, Jason Clarke of Dawn of the Plane of the Apes, and G.I. Joe.'s Lee Byun Hyun who plays T-1000 cyborg.
