Arnold’s acting was launched when he first became a lethal killing machine in James Cameron’s 1984 film, The Terminator. He was 37 at the time. Now that he is inching toward 70, the wrinkles on his face have set in and his hair has thinned, but he won’t let that stop him from reprising his most memorable feature film role.ย
The flesh on his T-800 may have aged, but I’m sure that metal skeleton is as tough as nails.
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.
Terminator: Genisys arrives in theaters July 1, 2015.
