Entertainment Weekly has released two new covers for their upcoming issue of the magazine featuring two ridiculous looks at the cast of Terminator: Genisys, the next installment in the Terminator franchise featuring Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, Matt Smith and Jason Clarke. Only Emilia Clarke is able to keep her eyes open and my god, just look at the mean-mugging Courtney is doing… this is exactly the reason I consider this guy one of the worst actors we have right now. As if his performances in Divergent and A Good Day to Die Hard weren’t bad enough, he’s getting off to an early start letting us know what he’s going to offer in this movie.
The mag also offers some information pertaining to the film’s synopsis:
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.
In addition to that, they get a little spoilery offering what even they call a “twist” and some info on Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s role in the film. Now I didn’t read the following paragraph, but you can if you feel the need:
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.
Here’s a full look at the magazine covers, the film hits theaters on July 1, 2015.
