The first trailer for Terminator Genisys was met with a mixed reaction (you can get the scoop on the teaser in our detailed breakdown by clicking here), but one of the coolest moments was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s aged T-800 coming face to face with his 1984 self with the help of some impressive special effects.
As epic as it all may have looked there however, a new report claims that studio bosses aren’t happy with how the fight has turned out, and adds that they are now utilising TWO CGI T-800’s for a “more brutal” fight.
A pre-vis description has started doing the rounds which sheds some light on the new take on the battle of the two icons, and it sounds epic! “The young digitally enhanced T-800 is doing a forward lunge double fist punch and/or crushing the aged T-800’s face, with both its knuckles pile-driving into the real Arnold Schwarzenegger’s metal skull, like something out of a wrestling match. The aged T-800 has its left arm locked under the T-800’s right shoulder as if it is going to make a deadly move on the younger T-800.”
Though this would normally be categorised as little more than a rumour, Skydance retweeted the original article, lending some legitimacy to the report. Hopefully this information is all accurate as it sounds like it will do the epic showdown justice after the disappointing “return” of Arnie in Terminator: Salvation.
Are you looking forward to seeing the two Terminators duking it out later this year? Let us know below!
