Find out about the shocking relationship between Emilia Clarke's Sarah Connor and Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator.

AceShowbiz - "Terminator Genisys" gets its first official look as it lands the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine. The double covers unveil Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese, Matt Smith as Mysterious Future Guy and Jason Clarke as John Connor.
Inside the mag is a paragraph that drops a massive hint on the "Terminator" reboot. It says, "Sarah Connor isn't the innocent she was when Linda Hamilton first sported feathered hair and acid-washed jeans in the role. Nor is she Hamilton's steely zero body-fat warrior in 1991's T2. Rather, the mother of humanity's messiah was orphaned by a Terminator at age 9."
It goes on with a shocking detail that she was raised by Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator - an older T-800 she calls 'Pops' who is programmed to guard rather than to kill. "Since she was 9 years old, she has been told everything that was supposed to happen," producer David Ellison says. "But Sarah fundamentally rejects that destiny. She says, 'That's not what I want to do'. It's her decision that drives the story in a very different direction."
"Terminator Genisys" hits U.S. theaters July 1, 2015.
