New Terminator Genisys Pics + Info

New photos and pictures are online for Terminator: Genisys.  They come from Entertainment Weekly’s big exclusive reveal this week.  New information has also come to light as well.

Arnold alone doesn’t guarantee a blockbuster—just ask the folks who made Sabotage or The Last Stand—so director Taylor assembled a cast with enough geek bona fides to appease the Comic-Con crowd. Emilia Clarke, 28, best known as dragon mother Daenerys Targaryen on Thrones, ­relished the opportunity to imagine her character’s unusual childhood. “Oh, she’s just a normal girl growing up in a world with a Terminator for a dad,” she says with a laugh. “What was her first date like? Did he kill many of the dates she brought home?”

That’s not entirely a joke. At the emotional heart of Genisys is the budding romance between Sarah and Kyle Reese—a union essential to the creation of John Connor. “I had never fallen in love on screen before,” says Courtney, 28, who’s played baddies in Jack Reacher and Divergent. “It was interesting to do that, especially when you’ve got a backdrop of the future and the past and all this other s - - -: endoskeleton, robots.

As well as speaking of how The Guardian/Watchman  ages as a T-800, which has been with Connor since a young age, therefore has aged by 1984, they also speak of how its 1984 opponent, the ‘Flock of Seagulls’ T-800, will be brought to life with state of the art CGI.

Schwarzenegger is unstoppable, and this is no mere cameo but a significant role—this time with a whole new suite of technology on his side. In what could be one of the most impressive technical feats yet, the filmmakers plan to re-create the memorable scene in the original ­Terminator when the T-800 lands at L.A.’s Griffith ­Observatory, complete with Schwarzenegger’s 36-year-old face and ripped, naked body. To achieve that, the special-effects team has created a “synthespian,” or synthetic thespian, using a body double plus scans of Schwarz­enegger’s face from the first film merged with what his face looks like now. The result: an entirely CG head of the Terminator circa 1984. “It’s the holy grail of visual effects,” Ellison says. “You create a walking, breathing human that doesn’t exist.”

The filmmakers are counting on that technology, and the movie’s villain—a man/machine hybrid they’re keeping under wraps—to be visual game changers. “Part of the challenge is to ­dazzle people with something they haven’t seen before,” ­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.

Below are some new pictures.  Check out the chassis on the T-800, which as Cyrus pointed in the comments section of a previous article, appears to be different from the classic model.  So it’s probably not a T-800 at all, possibly the new rumoured ‘Genisys’ line of Terminators.  But who knows.  Lastly, with so little being spoken of in regards to Matt Smith, I’m guessing a swerve is on the horizon for his role…?
