Linda Hamilton Will Be Back As Sarah Connor In A New Terminator Movie

September 20, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

It’s been a long time since Linda Hamilton played Sarah Connor. She stepped away from the franchise after Terminator 2 back in 1991. However, now that James Cameron is returning to produce what he hopes will be a new trilogy, Hamilton has decided she’d be happy to return to the role too.

Arnie is also attached to the new films, with Tim Miller (Deadpool), set to direct.

THR first reported on the news of Hamilton’s return, reporting Cameron as saying, “As meaningful as she was to gender and action stars everywhere back then [when T2 was made], it’s going to make a huge statement to have that seasoned warrior that she’s become return… There are 50-year-old, 60-year-old guys out there killing bad guys, but there isn’t an example of that for women.”

At the moment there’s no info on the plot or how the original Sarah Connor will fit into it. Indeed, it appears that they’re currently still piecing the overarching storyline of the trilogy together, but now know they can include Hamilton within those plans. There is one nugget Cameron has released about the movies, saying “We’re starting a search for an 18-something woman to be the new centerpiece of the new story. We still fold time. We will have characters from the future and the present. There will be mostly new characters, but we’ll have Arnold and Linda’s characters to anchor it.”

Aftermath Trailer – Arnold Schwarzenegger really, really wants an apology

February 9, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Post governator Arnold Schwazenegger has been a rather different actor to the man we knew beforehand. While he’s made another Terminator, largely he’s looked for movies that offer more complex characters than we’re used to from him, and he’s been surprisingly good in the likes of Maggie and Sabotage. It looks like he could be back at it with the fact-based revenge drama, Aftermath.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The remarkable true story of the events that unfolded when a Russian passenger plane collidedwith a cargo plane over Germany in 2002. 71 people die. Roman Melnyk, whose wife and two children were killed in the accident, struggles to cope with the tragedy and desperately searches for answers, and cannot rest until he finds the person responsible for his loss.

‘Jake, the air traffic controller on that fateful day, also finds his life in pieces. Forced to take on a new identity, his marriage crumbles, he loses his job, and he becomes a ghost of his former self. The story builds to its tragic conclusion 478 days later when the two strangers finally meet.’

The movie is in cinemas on April 7th. [Read more…]

Maggie (Blu-ray Review)

December 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, Joely Richardson
Director: Henry Hobson
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 23rd 2015 (UK)

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a zombie movie! He’s going to be blowing the undead away left, right and centre, while mumbling memorable catchphrases, isn’t he? Actually, no, as this is something very different both for the Terminator and for zombie flicks. Except for the undead, this is Arnie in a small-scale mother-daughter indie melodrama, with fairly little action and much soul-searching.

Schwarzenegger is Wade Vogel, who’s living with his wife and kids in the middle of nowhere, where they’ve managed to escape a zombie plague that has affected millions. After his eldest daughter, Maggie (Abigail Breslin), gets bitten and infected, he goes to pick her up from quarantine to take her home, knowing that while she will be okay for a while, eventually she will turn and have to be taken away before she turns completely – assuming she doesn’t die before then.

Terminator Genisys (DVD Review)

November 6, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, Dayo Okeniyi
Director: Alan Taylor
Running Time: 126 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: November 2nd 2015 (UK)

Having spent $10s of millions on buying the Terminator franchise, the backers of Genisys had a lot riding on the movie. The film was planned as the first part of a new trilogy, although it seemed that was in major doubt after it only made $89 million at the US box office. However worldwide it did much better, grossing $440 million overall. As a result we’re likely to see more Terminating, even if the original plans change.

It’s both a continuation and semi-reboot, with Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) sent back in time to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) from an evil Terminator (a CGI’d young Arnold Schwarzenegger), but once there it turns out events have changed since the first time we saw things, as Sarah is well aware of what’s going on, as she’s been protected by her own Terminator, which she calls Pops (a non CGI, aging Arnie), since she was a child.

Arnie, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney & More Get Terminator Genisys Character Posters

May 11, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-character-poster1-tripleTerminator Genisys is fighting against franchise fatigue, and while it’s done a decent job so far of suggesting to film fans that it might be worth a look, it’s still got a way to go show that it reboots things enough to make it feel fresh while not completely abandoning what people liked about it to start with.

To help with that a set of character posters have popped up online, which like the last trailer showcase the old and new, and also show that Jason Clarke’s John Connor is rather different to the character we’ve seen in previous instalments and that he may be the villain this time around.

You can see all the posters below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

The movie is due out July 3rd. [Read more…]

Terminator Genisys ‘Payoff’ Trailer – John Connor has a surprise for us

April 13, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-new-pic1-slideThere’s still a bit of suspicion around the continuation/reboot that is Terminator Genisys, even after a very good first trailer. However now the movie is ready to really show us what it’s got up its sleeve, giving us a glimpse at exactly how Jason Clarke’s John Connor plays into a movie that takes place largely before he was born.

We already new that this would be a different version of sci-fi past than we’re familiar with, with Sarah Connor having been teamed up with Arnie’s Terminator for many years, but now we know her son is also heading back in time and he’s going to be… well, just look at the trailer below. Plus we also get a glimpse of 1984 Armie having a fight with 2015 Arnie, which should be fun.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

Maggie Trailer – Arnold Schwarznegger has a zombie daughter

March 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maggie-arnold-schwarzeneggerMaggie has been waiting in the wings for quite a while, as Arnie filmed it over a year ago, but now it’s getting ready for its release and a trailer have arrived.

It’s something a little different for Schwarzenegger as while it sounds like it could be a big action epic, it’s actually quieter and more introspective than you might expect.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘There’s a deadly zombie epidemic threatening humanity, but Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a small-town farmer and family man, refuses to accept defeat even when his daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) becomes infected. As Maggie’s condition worsens and the authorities seek to eradicate those with the virus, Wade is pushed to the limits in an effort to protect her. Joely Richardson co-stars in this post-apocalyptic thriller.’

It’s out in the US on May 8th, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Terminator Genisys Living Poster Proves Arnie Is Still A Cyborg

March 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-new-pic1-slideThere are a lot of people in Hollywood hoping that people are still interested in Arnie as a cyborg, as he’s returning to his most iconic role in this summer’s Terminator Genisys. To give us a little look at his return a ‘living poster’ has been release with Schwarzenegger showing he’s still metallic underneath.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

The movie is due out July 3rd. Take a look at the living poster below. [Read more…]

Terminator Genisys Super Bowl Spot – Who knew that buses could do somersaults

January 29, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-new-pic1Although it’s only 40-seconds long, the SuperBowl spot for Terminator Genisys certainly puts the action to the fore, with explosions, somersaulting buses and general mayhem, along with a grey-haired Arnie showing that even cyborgs can get old.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance, sends Sgt. Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect Sarah Connor (Emilia Clarke) and safeguard the future, an unexpected turn of events creates a fractured timeline. Now, Sgt. Reese finds himself in a new and unfamiliar version of the past, where he is faced with unlikely allies, including the Guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger), dangerous new enemies, and an unexpected new mission: To reset the future…’

The film hits cinemas in July, but take a look below for the Superbowl spot. [Read more…]

Terminator Genisys Teaser Trailer – Everything old is new again even if Arnie is back

December 5, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

terminator-genisys-poster1Here’s a trailer that’s likely to divide fans. It’s set up to deliberately remind us of the early days of the Terminator franchise with an odd sense of nostalgia, but about halfway through it essentially says everything we saw before never happened and that it’s all been reset.

It’s not necessarily a bad thing, but it leaves a lot of question marks over the movie.

A previous reported (much of which is confirmed by the trailer) the film ‘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.’

Although that sounds pretty much like the original, things have changed as in this version Sarah Connor ‘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.’

The movie is due out July 2015. [Read more…]
