Watch a behind-the-scenes look at 'Terminator: Dark Fate'
Paramount Pictures has released a Terminator: Dark Fate featurette at San Diego Comic-Con, showing an inside look at the making of what people are calling the true sequel to Terminator 2. While the franchise spawned three movies since the iconic flick, including the critically panned Terminator Genisys with Emilia Clarke, Dark Fate will serve as a soft reboot to the series and will directly follow the events of Judgment Day. James Cameron and team even got Linda Hamilton to reprise her role as Sarah Connor almost three decades after saying hasta la vista to the character.
Terminators: The Video Game announced by Reef Entertainment
Reef Entertainment, UK-based publisher of the upcoming Rambo: The Video Game, has announced that it intends to create a game based on the Terminator franchise, titled Terminators: The Video Game. Reef did not specify a genre, release date, or supported platforms for the game. Really, the company's announcement didn't say much, other than they recently acquired video game rights for both 1984's The Terminator and 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and that they intend to create a "high quality, authentic and exciting" game that does "great justice" to the films. That usually works out well. No word on whether Michael Biehn, who has had both good and not-so-good experiences with video games as of late, will be reprising his role as Kyle Reese, or if that other guy who's kinda famous for being in the Terminator movies will be back.

How the Terminator's .45 Longslide with laser sighting came to be (video)
While Arnie's one-handed reloads on his Winchester 1887 may make that shotgun the most iconic weapon of Terminator 2, his laser-sighted .45 Longslide was definitely king in the first. Laser sights are something you can buy in any gun shop today, but back in 1984 they were extremely rare -- and expensive. The one for the movie was custom made by SureFire, a company that specializes in tactical flashlights. Lasers at the time were helium neon, requiring a whopping 10,000 volts to power on and a constant 1,000 volts to stay bright. To manage this on a shoestring budget in the '80s the weapon had a wire running up Arnie's sleeve to a battery inside his jacket and a switch he had to activate with his other hand. (A non-functional prop was used for close-ups.) Crude, but effective, and, most importantly, cheap -- SureFire representatives received only a T-shirt and some other assorted movie swag. Now, what kind of weapon could we get for a box of Engadget shirts...
