In just 12 days since its July 1st release date, Terminator Genisys just about hit the 225 Million mark in the worldwide box office. At this rate, T5 could very likely reach a solid 375 to 450 million final total, nearly doubling or tripling the 155 million film budget.
We continue in our series of Terminator Genisys Red Carpet interviews with actor Wayne Bastrup. It was cool to meet him in person since he had just been on Arnold Radio News the week before. If you didn't catch that, it's episode 29: Don't Bump His Selfie Stick!
On the Terminator Genisys red carpet, I told Arnold that he has more fashion sense and style now at age 67 than he ever had before. Just look at Arnold’s boots, his belt buckle collection and best of all, his RINGS! Some of the latest and badass rings the Governor has been wearing lately, including his silver endoskeleton model, are the beautifully mastered works of Anthony Troiano of AJT Jewellery.
On any red carpet, the stars of the film and other celebrities get the lions' share of attention from the press, and sure, it is cool to see and talk to them, but it's the behind the scenes contributors that often have the more interesting things to say. We love talking to these people and see how the process of getting the film made happened along with what goodies may still be in store for the Blu-ray or future installments. So when we saw the writers of Terminator Genisys walking by
During our time on the Terminator Genisys red carpet, TheArnoldFans spoke with many friendly cast and crew and even chatted with some cool celebrities who walked the carpet to just show their support. One of these celebrities, not in the film but here to see a great new Arnold movie, was actor, Nerdist and Talking Dead host, Chris Hardwick. Some of you might even remember Chris had a small part in T3: Rise of the Machines!
Now that you’ve heard our initial thoughts on Terminator Genisys and hopefully have plans for seeing it with all your friends the next few days, let’s talk about our Hollywood red carpet adventure! TAFs top dogs Randy Jennings and The Gillinator were both in Hollywood at the Dolby Theater (after an amazing Conan screening the night before… this tale shall also be told) ready for a big spectacle, and we sure got one!
While I was lucky enough to see Terminator Genisys twice already, I was unfortunate in my seating. I was in the very front row, looking straight up at an IMAX press screening on my first viewing and then I was in the very back row at the Hollywood premiere. While my seats may not have been great, I can not say the same for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s latest release in US theatersTONIGHT!
