Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Paperback Edition. Paperback. If You Like. The Terminator. The Terminator began as a low budget B movie seemingly destined for a short run before blossoming into a billion-dollar franchise that launched the careers of director James Cameron and star Arnold Schwarzenegger. The original 1984 film not only spawned three sequels, a weekly television series, and countless novels, comic books, and videogames, it also redefined the science-fiction genre with its blend of high tech and film noir. Here is the first book to explore the arrage of films, television shows, and other works that helped inspire The Terminator, as well as those that have drawn inspiration from it. The author delves into the history of science-fiction cinema from its earliest days, also reviewing Schwarzenegger's improbable career, revisiting the action heroes of the 1980s, and revaluating Cameron's films before exploring today's computer-dominated sci-fi and projecting the future of the Terminator universe. From Frankenstein and Metropolis to The Matrix, from H. G. Wells and Harlan Ellison to Roland Emmerich, this book - has them all - and more. Illustrated. 212 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
