Terminator 5 Genisys News, Cast & Release Date: Does New Super Bowl Trailer Reveal Plot?
The new trailer to "Terminator: Genisys" has debuted a few days before the Super Bowl premiere on Sunday.
The trailer is a 30-second teaser that shows a number of action sequences, as well as a number of special effects. The trailer shows Arnold Schwarzenegger reprising the role of the T-800 Terminator. The movie has a similar look to the original films which had a modern day look.
The film looks completely different from the 2009 "Terminator Salvation," which gave the film a completely different look. That movie took place in a post-apocalyptic world with lots of destruction. The movie also did not star Schwarzenegger and instead starred Christian Bale as John Connor. The Terminator also did not appear in the movie.
The latest film "Terminator: Genisys" tells the story of Kyle Reese, who teams up with John Connor's mother Sarah and an aging Terminator to try and stop the one thing that the future fears, "Judgement Day". The film stars Jai Courtney, J.K Simmons, Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, matt Smith, and Byung-Hun Lee.
The latest film has a production budget of $170 million and is expected to be one of the biggest films of the summer.
The first film was a huge back in 1984 as it made $38 million on a $6.4 million budget. Then, in 1991, "Terminator 2: Judgment Day made $204 million on a $102 million budget. The film was such a huge success that is allowed the studio to make a third installment.
However, "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" did not live up to expectations. The film was budgeted at $200 million and only made $150 million. As a result, it took six years for the following installment to get made. In 2009, Warner Bros. released "Terminator Salvation." The film had a price tag of $200 million, but ended up being a disappointment. Not only was a critical bomb, but it only made $125 million domestically.
Paramount hopes to play on the nostalgia factor, bringing back classic characters and hopes that Schwarzenegger will be the main reason for audiences to return to the franchise.
With the new film, Paramount is trying bring back old characters and draw back audiences who enjoyed the first three installments.
The 2015 Super Bowl is one of the biggest events on TV events of the year and the audience usually is made up of young and older men. This is the audience that Paramount hopes to target, especially since the ad features so much action and violence. Additionally, audiences are sometimes more excited about the commercials than the actual game itself.
With a commercial during the Super Bowl, audiences will be more aware of the film and Paramount hopes that it will also create more anticipation.
The film was written by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier and is directed by "Thor: The Dark World's" Alan Taylor.
Paramount will release "Terminator: Genisys" on July 1. The studio already has a sixth and seventh installment in the works that they hope to release in 2017 and 2018.
