Hasta la vista, gramps! Arnie to shoot sixth Terminator as he nears 70
http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/26/arnold-schwarzenegger-terminator-sequel Version 0 of 1. Arnold Schwarzenegger has confirmed plans to star in a sixth Terminator movie, by which time the actor would be nearly 70. Schwarzenegger will return to his best known role, the T-800 cyborg, in Alan Taylor’s Terminator: Genysis this July. But he told The Arnold Fans he would also be filming the follow-up. “Yes, of course, next year,” said the former governor of California when asked to confirm his involvement by the fan site. A sixth Terminator film would mark Schwarzenegger’s fifth turn as the T-800, though the former body-builder also appeared digitally in 2009’s poorly-received Terminator Salvation. With the movie unlikely to hit cinemas before 2017, Schwarzenegger would be 69 or 70 by the time fans got to see it. Related: Terminator Genisys trailer: Arnie's back Trailers for Terminator Genysis suggest the film features Schwarzenegger as at least two different versions of the T-800. Taylor’s movie also stars Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke as John Connor and Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, as well as Matt Smith, Lee Byung-hun and JK Simmons. The storyline for the latest instalment of the man-versus-machine saga centres on Reese’s journey across time to protect Sarah Connor from the Terminators sent to kill her in an effort to stop her son John from averting judgement day. A similar scenario was played out in 1984’s Terminator, but this time Reese finds that the past has changed and a completely different set of circumstances now exists in an alternate timeline. Terminator: Genysis hits US cinemas on 1 July and arrives in the UK two days later. |
