Emilia Clarke in Terminator Genisys

That's a shame. I never thought this looked amazing, but I was hoping that it would at least get decent reviews for Emilia's sake. Although the reviews have been awful and it doesn't look like the critics loved her performance that much. Ah well, at least there's still some hope for the BO.

Also, that comment is so true. Linda Hamilton in the first Terminator and Emilia are roughly the same age, but Emilia looks SO much younger than she did even then and that was nearly a decade before T2. I really don't know what they were smoking with this casting, honestly.

It's a shame because the men will likely all come out of this largely unscathed, but this will be a real stain on Emilia's filmography.

Speaking of Linda Hamilton, can anyone here who was alive during the 80s please explain this hairstyle? I don't think I have enough words in my vocabulary to adequately capture how hideous I think it is.

This is crap.

Only Terminator I ever liked was T2.

............tame?

I think the movie was pretty good - way better than the last two.

Kit has a dick, though. That automatically grants him approx. 10bn chances in Hollywood.

As I type this it is getting slammed at American Box Office by bunch of dancing shirtless dudes

It really won't be that simple. There are countless stars of days gone by who were "destined" for great things only to simply fizzle out. Being such a huge part of GoT will not guarantee her, or anyone's, success. She will have to be savvy with her career choices if she wants to maintain her relevance. Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe aren't still relevant/popular just because of Harry Potter, it's because both have been smart with how they have managed their careers. They are probably the two people that the younger GoT cast are going to want to try and emulate the most. Lawgend and Kristen Stewart are both also good role models for smart career moves (and yes, I know Twilight is awful, but KStew is actually a very capable and acclaimed actress and her filmography is more diverse and exciting than most people her age and even older), although both had success with various indies before their big breakouts.

So far, of the actors "discovered" by GoT (i.e. the young ones with no prior experience), Sophie appears to have made the smartest choices at the moment. Although that is entirely dependent on how she does in X-Men and how the movie does as a whole, but it's a good move on paper, so fingers crossed.

I also think you're taking for granted that TG will make back its money. With the absolutely hideous reviews and gawdawful word of mouth, it will surely will not hold well at all, and will struggle even if it manages to open with decent numbers.

I read some article about this movie stating "Emilia Clarke is propably becomign the most famous british actor of all time."

They were trying to go for a hot, young looking Sarah Connor.

Of course given the time this is meant to be set and the huge difference between how Linda and Emilia look, it just seems like yet another of Terminator's continuity fuck ups.
