You know when I first saw the link to this article, I thought I bet the actor is Asian. I think Disney is worried over how The Force Awakens performs in China. I read some thought Avengers 2 was going to the big Hollywood movie performer in China this year. FF7 was by something like $150 million more. Jurassic World might end up beating Avengers 2 in China too. They just had all six Star Wars movies screen at the Shanghai Film Festival because not all of the them have been shown in China except for maybe pirated versions. It'll be interesting to find out if they just filmed Ken Leung in reshoots or was he there during principle shooting. I bet it's a minor role like one scene only. Advertising this late seems odd. I don't think the guy is well known in China. I know he directed and acted in an independent movie filmed in China but that was more for the English language crowd. The people at Disney are doing everything they can to make sure this movie breaks all the records. Disney probably panicked that Carrie Fisher tweeted a negative remark about China recently that was quoted in some news articles.

Terminator Genisys...don't know if you chaps would thumb-down it but here's what puzzles me: why SKYNET still insist on R&D time travel, when it finally has the perfect weapon against humanity, nanomachine virus that can turn any human into a Terminator-human hybrid upon contact?
I have to admit that Jurassic World has really surprised me...maybe even shocked me.
I never expected another installment on that theme to do anywhere near what it is doing.
It has become a perfect storm of movie making and movie going.
After only two full weeks it is at:
US Domestic: 514,374,000
Rest of World: 745, 500,000
Total: 1,259, 874,000
And it is breaking pretty much all of the records for revenue doing it to this date. Simply amazing.
We shall see...and I expect the new Star Wars movie to do GREAT...but it is hard to imagine it keeping up with this p[performance.

I think just as they just can't avoid fate which has been said throughout the series of movies hence why Skynet always is a threat and Skynet can't avoid it either and will always have to send terminators back in time.

I think it just goes to show that people still love dinosaurs. I went to see the movie last Tuesday, and while there certainly were a lot of laughable elements in the movie, it was still awesome to see the real T-Rex charge out at the end of the movie!

Rumor was no trailer for Force Awakens at Comic Con and it appears to be true but they had to show something.

T5 is basically an adaptation of the Sarah Connor Chronicles tv show. The movie was ok at best for those that are big sci-fi fans you might go nuts over whether causality or paradox temporal theory apply.
This video points out the problems of T3 I think some of the same problems are made in T5

Why was Greedo wearing women's pumps? And the name of the actor was Troy.
