Yesterday Bill (a friend of mine) and I went a
watched the new Terminator Genisys movie.
Both of us were excited by the trailers we've seen of
the movie and what possible new twist(s) the new movie would show. Our hopes were high. We were not disappointed.
Both of us loved the movie. While paying homage to the original first two Terminator movies
the new movie successfully introduced new time-travel twists the successfully
rebooted the series.
As excited I was about the movie, I was even more
excited by the special visual effects.
I've always been a sucker for Hollywood magic and there was plenty of
visual tricks used in the film.
I love it when I come away from a movie and find myself
asking, "How did they do that?"
Insight Editions
was kind enough to send me a copy of its new Terminator Genisiys: Resetting The
Future book that goes into exhaustive detail about the film.
From pre-production to post-production the book
covers it all.
Inside are sections on cast selection, costuming,
weapons and accessories, vehicles, the Terminator designs and their equipment,
set design and implementation, visual and practical effects, stunt work and
more.
If you are a film fanatic like I am you will eat up
this book. Packed with full-color
photos from the behind the scenes and during filming, cast and crew interviews
and comments, production staff inner workings and showcasing the entire process
of making a big budget film are also included.
It is a gorgeous hardbound book with a spot varnish
image of a Terminator head on its cover it includes a foreword by Arnold
Schwarzenegger and is written by David S. Cohen.
