Genisys: How’d They Make That 1984 Arnold?

I think a lot of people could agree that if there was anything good about Terminator: Genisys, it might have been the appearance of the ‘retro’ Terminator, or the old school Arnold Schwarzenegger.  Legacy Effects has released a new video hightlighting the work their team of artists created for Paramount Pictures’ movie.

The award-winning special effects company created a variety of make-up and practical effects for the film, that included a full-size replica of Arnold Swarzenegger from 1984, a T-800 endoskeleton and realistic damaged flesh.

“When John Connor (Jason Clarke), leader of the human resistance against Skynet, sends Kyle Reese (Jai Courtney) back to 1984 to protect his mother, Sarah (Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator assassin, an unexpected turn of events creates an altered timeline. Instead of a scared waitress, Sarah is a skilled fighter and has a Terminator guardian (Arnold Schwarzenegger) by her side. Faced with unlikely allies and dangerous new enemies, Reese sets out on an unexpected new mission: reset the future.”
