— -- Back in August, Arnold Schwarzenegger revealed the new name of the next "Terminator" movie. Now, there's a trailer to go with the highly-anticipated next chapter of the long-running saga.

This will be the first "Terminator" movie since Christian Bale starred in "Terminator Salvation" in 2009. The first "Terminator" came out back in 1984 and basically launched Schwarzenegger's career as an action star. It also gave him his iconic, "I'll be back" saying.

In true Schwarzenegger fashion, he posted the trailer early to his Facebook page and wrote, "Terminators don't wait for timelines - they create them. Here's the Terminator Genisys trailer. I'm back." The trailer was supposed to go live at 4 p.m. on the movie's website. He posted it about 2 hours early.

The new film, due out next summer, features the former California governor, now 67, and a new cast, including Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor, Jason Clarke as John Connor and Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese.

In the clip, Jason Clarke is leading the charge against the machines and rallying the troops. "If we die tonight, mankind dies with us."

This movie comes full circle, as Reese asks to go back in time to save Connor's mother, just as we saw in the very first "Terminator" movie. But something is different, as Connor save Reese. It seems Schwarzenegger's good Terminator was waiting for the evil one.
