Paramount Pictures has today unveiled a partnership with IMAX Entertainment to bring Alan Taylor's soon-to-be-released Terminator: Genisys to the large-screen format.
The deal means that the sequel will be the first installment in the seminal sci-fi franchise to be screened in IMAX, with the studio making plans to digitally re-master the film ahead of its anticipated debut in July. In a statement, IMAX's Greg Foster stated that Genisys, what with all its spectacle and CGI wizardry, is the perfect poster child for the big-screen experience.
For the uninitiated, Terminator: Genisys rips up the rulebook established by its time-travelling forebearers by introducing moviegoers to a somewhat unfamiliar Sarah Connor. In this iteration, Emilia Clarke's heroine will have grown up in the shadow of Arnold Schwarzenegger T-800, rather than encountering the killer android at a later stage in life. And so, when Jai Courtney's Kyle Resse is sent back through time to save her, it's up to the trio to topple Skynet once and for all.
Terminator: Genisys is slated to arrive on July 1, when Paramount Pictures will bring the reboot to cinemas and IMAX theaters.
