T5 Exclusive: Lisa Love Lands Make-Up Head & Possible Composers!

Today I was in communication with T1-T3 make-up department head Jeff Dawn, who tells TheArnoldFans to whom he's passing the Terminator torch. Dawn applied the most memorable and iconic endo facial appliances onto Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first three films. Dawn will not be coming back to the franchise but he does wish the crew the very best. He even spoke with the NEW head of make-up and gave her some possible Terminator tips.

"Randy, the make-up dept head on Terminator will be Lisa Love. She's a Canadian make-up artist that I know. I've been speaking with her, giving her my pearls of wisdom."

Lisa Love is an Emmy winner and several of her biggest past films as the make-up head includes Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, X-Men: The Last Stand and Final Destination. Jeff also tells me that Lisa Love lived in Vancouver, BC for much of her life but may now be living in LA. But we're sure she'll be residing in New Orleans for the next several months during Terminator: Genesis filming.

John Rosengrant, who worked on the Endoskeleton robots in T1-T4 tells TheArnoldFans.com that "it’s a DONE DEAL" with the studio for his return. There you have it: Lead Make-Up handled by Lisa Love and Cyberdyne's most deadly endos handled by John Rosengrant's Legacy Effects team!

In other Terminator news, I spoke with TWO Terminator composers and they BOTH want to be BACK!

First I spoke with T3 composer Marco Beltrami, who tells me he'd like to come back to the Terminator franchise and do the soundtrack for Genesis. Personally I love what Marco did on T3 and loathe the Danny Elfman T4 abomination. No disrespect to Brad Fidel (Terminator legend) but he has long been retired and has gotten rusty while Marco has some fantastic films under his composer belt including Hell Boy, World War Z, Wolverine, I Robot and the second best Die Hard film: Live Free or Die Hard!

I also heard from "Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles" composer Bear McCreary today via Twitter. "I would love to," Bear tells TheArnoldFans after I asked him if he would like to score T5 for Arnold. McCreary's other credits include the music for The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica and Agents of Shield.
