Terminator 5 cast member Jai Courtney spoke about 'Genisys' in a recent interview with Huffpost. The actor, 28, says that the upcoming movie isn't a remake of the old titles (via Screen Rant):
"What I can say is that we start in a place we're familiar with from the early films and then, you know, circumstances change. It somewhat shifts the course of events from that point. It's not necessarily a sequel or a reboot. I don't even know how you brand it correctly. We're not remaking one of the early 'Terminator' movies. And it doesn't necessarily carry on from the point where we left off."
Two Terminator 5 release dates have been announced in advance by Paramount. The first of two 'Genisys' movies is expected to come out May 2017 in American cinemas, followed by its sequel in June 2018. It has also been reported that the films are being shot back-to-back.
