Exclusive - Michael Biehn remembers The Terminator

You don't need to be wired into the Skynet mainframe to know that Terminator fever is upon us again.

Not only is Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the iconic role of the T-800 in Terminator Genisys - out 2 July - but James Cameron's classic original Terminator is back on the big screen too from 23 June (check out www.terminator.zone for details).

To celebrate here's an exclusive interview with Terminator star Michael Biehn, talking about working with co-star Linda Hamilton, the genius of James Cameron and his memories of the shoot.

You can read more about Terminator Genisys in the latest issue of SFX - we have an interview with the mighty Arnie himself, along with stars Jai Courtney and Emilia Clarke - and each print copy comes with two free classic Terminator postcards!

It's enough to make you save the future!
