The upcoming fifth installment in the Terminator series is titled ‘Genisys’, according to the franchise’s iconic star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Schwarzenegger is due to reprise his role in the new film, which is not due for release until 2015, and he spilt the name of the new film via his Instagram page as he thanked the cast and crew after production of the reboot had finished earlier this week.
The new film also stars Jason Clarke and Emilia Clarke (no relation) as John and Sarah Connor, as well as Jai Courtney and former 'Doctor Who' actor Matt Smith. Some of those involved have commented on how smart the script for the new film is, indicating that it’s going to at least be better than the Christian Bale-starring Terminator: Salvation which failed to launch a new trilogy as anticipated.
The unusual title could well be a reference to a new high-tech manufacturing corporation or some kind of apocalyptic event, being a portmanteau of the words ‘genesis’ and ‘system’, like Cyberdyne and Skynet in previous installments. It would certainly fit well with the existing mythology of the series.
