James Cameron (Avatar, Titanic, Aliens) was the man who magnificently made sci-fi thriller The Terminator and its sequel, the immortal classic Judgement Day, but his lack of involvement with the rest of the series caused a franchise that sped out of control. The fifth instalment will see Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) attempting a new resurrection with the cast including original Terminator Arnold Schwarzengger (Predator), Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), Jai Courtney (Divergent), Matt Smith (Doctor Who) and JK Simmons (Spider-Man).
Paramount appear confident enough with the film to set preliminary dates for two more sequels. Terminator 6 will arrive May 2017 while Terminator 7 will follow up in June 2018. This isn’t the first attempt at getting the franchise to run consistently. 2003’s Rise of the Machines’ critical failure prevented the rebooting while you may remember that Christian Bale was signed on for a trilogy before various controversies plagued 2009’s Salvation. Hopefully Genisys can return the series to its former glory.
Marvel spent three years and five films establishing its main heroes, with mixed success. When the franchise’s ensemble combined in 2012’s The Avengers the series became something else entirely. Not only did it gross $1.5 billion worldwide but gained an irreplaceable spot in fan’s hearts. Marvel’s third phase saw spin off sequels Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier were great successes while Guardians of the Galaxy has proved that Marvel will be able to conquer with new properties. However next year they return to The Avengers once more for Age of Ultron.
The new banner for the film has been published online and it offers the very first full look at the android Vision, played by A Knight’s Tale and A Beautiful Mind’s Paul Bettany. Joss Whedon (Serenity, Firefly, Toy Story, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) will write and direct the film that’ll also star Robert Downey Jr, Mark Ruffalo, James Spader, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor Johnson, Cobie Smulders, Don Cheadle, Hayley Atwell, Thomas Kretschmann, Stellan Skarsgard, Samuel L Jackson and Andy Serkis.
