Sarah Connor is back
The history of the
Terminator franchise is long and complicated. Part one is a brilliant, stripped back thriller, that feels more like a slasher movie than a big blockbuster. And part two is the greatest action movies all time.
Part three is actually quite good and better than people give it credit for, but it is a rehash of part two, and thus seems not as good when compared to that classic. God knows what was going on in four, and five is a complete mess that sets itself up for sequels that will never happen.
Oh, and there’s
The Sarah Connor Connor Chronicles that ran for two seasons, but I never watched that.
The next instalment however will be called just
Terminator. (What is it with these franchise been re-named as just the characters name?
Predators?
Jason Bourne?
Rambo?
Rocky Balboa?). And it will ignore the event of
Terminators three to five, and be a direct sequel to
Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
Not only that, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton are back, as the T-800 and Sarah Connor respectively.

The Terminator Fans have the first set photos of Hamilton back in the role.

She looks just like the same badass she was all the way back in
Judgment Day.
Other names in the cast include
Agents of SHIELD’s Gabriel Luna, and
Black Mirror’s Mackenzie Davis.
Linda Hamilton also reprised the role of Sarah Connor for voiceovers in
Terminator Salvation, and in the
T2-3D: Battle Across Time theme park attraction.
Game of Throne’s Emilia Clarke played Connor in
Terminator Genisys, and another
GoT star, Lena Headey, portrayed her in
The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Terminator will be directed by
Deadpool’s Tim Miller. Plot details on the movie are thin on the ground, but apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger will also be playing the man who the T-800 was based on, as well as the robot itself.
