Terminator Genisys Is A Love Story According To J.K. Simmons

J.K. Simmons, the actor who portrayed J. Jonah Jameson in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films, is part of the cast of the upcoming Terminator: Genisys, set to kick start the franchise into a new era.

Speaking to ComingSoon.net, Simmons shared his thoughts on being cast in the project, and how the script was not at all what he expected.

"'Pretty big?'" he responded before offering a few thoughts on the project. "It's a gigantic movie and that was such a surprise when they sent that to me and asked me to do it. I thought 'Well, obviously it's a gigantic movie and on that level, it's something most actors would want to be a part of, but is it just going to be the formulaic yadda-yadda-yadda then cut to the stuff blowing up?' But I found the script to be really much more intelligent and fun and funny and well-rounded and heart-felt. It's a love story. It's a really interesting script. They got great actors. I wrapped that in August, so that was another movie that ended up being really satisfying on all levels. I have a much smaller part in that but it was really a fun thing to be a part of."

Terminator: Genisys is slated for release in 2015.
