-
Molly Driscoll Staff Writer
It鈥檚 too easy, but we鈥檒l say it anyway: Arnold Schwarzenegger will be back.
The actor-turned-governor is returning to the 鈥淭erminator鈥� franchise for the new installment in the series, which will be released in 2015, and Schwarzenegger recently revealed the title of the new film. Unfortunately, however, many fans aren鈥檛 thrilled with it.
On Aug. 6, Schwarzenegger posted a photo to and of himself sitting in a chair with 鈥淭erminator: Genisys鈥� on the back. With the picture, the actor wrote:
Hasta la vista, baby. I want to thank the cast and crew of聽@TerminatorGenisys for a fantastic shoot. It was challenging, it was fun, and it was rewarding. From our director to the producers, from the camera team to catering, from visual effects to hair and makeup - we couldn't have done it without you. I can't wait to see our finished project and I know we'll remind the fans why they fell in love with the Terminator. On July 1, 2015, I'll be back.鈥澛�
Some were tactful with their criticism of the title, with writer Esther Zuckerman noting that 鈥渢he latest 鈥楾erminator鈥� movie has an interesting way of spelling things,鈥� while others were more strident, with writer Rob Bricken titling his article 鈥淭ypo somehow becomes new official Terminator movie title.鈥� Meanwhile, writer Darren Franich supplied 鈥�101 better titles for Terminator: Genisys鈥� in his article, ending with 鈥渓iterally anything at all.鈥�
Title aside, the movie will star Schwarzenegger presumably reprising his famous role; Emilia Clarke of 鈥淕ame of Thrones鈥� as Sarah Connor, mother of the leader of the revolt against the machines, according to ; 鈥淒awn of the Planet of the Apes鈥� actor Jason Clarke as her son John, according to the ; Jai Courtney of 鈥淒ivergent鈥�; and 鈥淒octor Who鈥� actor Matt Smith.
鈥淕enisys鈥� is directed by Alan Taylor, who was also behind the 2013 movie 鈥淭hor: The Dark World,鈥� among others.
