Terminator Genisys: More Photos and Details Revealed

Following yesterday’s cover reveal, Entertainment Weekly has debuted some more photos for the upcoming Terminator Genisys, one of them our first official look at Arnold Schwarzenegger in the upcoming film. In addition, the magazine has revealed even more details, one of which also confirms some long-standing rumors about the film, so with that in mind, we’re going to issue a potential spoiler warning.

First, EW reports that the film will be recreating Schwarzenegger’s memorable emergence from the original 1984 film at L.A.?s Griffith ­Observatory using both a body double and digital scans of his face from Cameron’s film.

“It’s the holy grail of visual effects,” Producer David Ellison says. “You create a walking, breathing human that doesn’t exist.”

The outlet goes on to reveal that, despite the filmmakers wishing to keep it secret, the film’s villain will be a man-machine hybrid which the’re hoping will be a “visual game changer” along with the digital Arnold.

“Part of the challenge is to ­dazzle people with something they haven’t seen before,” director Alan ­Taylor says. “There are elements in our main villain that are straining the capacities of our brilliant visual-effects people. So that’s a good sign.”
