Terminator Genisys: New Story Info

[ARNie]

Entertainment Weekly has a preview of their upcoming magazine article, I'll just go over the highlights...

James Cameron’s Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day not only set the bar for what could be achieved in genre film-making, but those two movies introduced audiences to a strong female protagonist, a gut-wrenching love story, and one awesome villain/hero, all set against the backdrop of nuclear war. If history has taught us anything, it’s that it can be perilous to mess with Cameron’s precise formula. (Terminator: Salvation anyone?) But a new group of filmmakers, led by producers David Ellison and Dana Goldberg and director Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World), seem determined to sidestep the mistakes of the past with Genisys, set for release in July 2015.

Their recipe calls for one part Teutonic monotone with Arnold Schwarzenegger back in a big way, and four parts exciting new cast with geek bonafides that are sure to appease the Comic-Con masses, plus ground-breaking special effects and a few shocking twists on the canon.

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.

“Since she was 9 years old, she has been told everything that was supposed to happen,” says Ellison. “But Sarah fundamentally rejects that destiny. She says, ‘That’s not what I want to do.’ It’s her decision that drives the story in a very different direction.”

Full version of the article will be released in the next EW mag, in the meantime you can read the preview of it here:

I think I stopped caring. At least until a trailer comes out.
