THE TERMINATOR TAKES OVER WAZE NAVIGATION
WAZE USERS WORLDWIDE EXPERIENCE THE TERMINATOR THROUGH CUSTOM
VOICE COMMANDS IN THE APPTo celebrate the release of the highly anticipated film “TERMINATOR GENISYS,” Paramount Pictures, Skydance Productions, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Waze (www.waze.com), have teamed up to give drivers around the world the ultimate voice navigation machine: Arnold Schwarzenegger as the 'Guardian' Terminator from “TERMINATOR GENISYS."
Starting
today, users of the world's largest community-based traffic and
navigation app can select custom Terminator voice commands from the
Terminator himself. The Terminator will give directions
to user’s destinations and alert them if a T-1000 is spotted ahead. In
addition, movie theater locations showing “TERMINATOR GENISYS” will be
branded with the iconic red-eyed Endoskull, helping WAZE users to
see the film when it opens in theaters on July 1st 2015.
“From
the first time I used Waze, I have wanted to lend my voice to it. The
Terminator is the perfect machine to guide Wazers to their
destinations,” said Schwarzenegger. “Every single day on social
media fans ask me to record my movie lines, so now I get to bring this
classic role and my charming Austrian accent into their cars.”
“Partnering
with Waze is a fun way to bring the ‘Terminator’ to millions of fans
all over the world,” said Megan Wahtera, SVP of Interactive Marketing at
Paramount Pictures. ”Arnold Schwarzenegger
as the Terminator is one of the most recognizable and iconic voices and
we are excited for fans to experience him in this unique way.”
“Arnold
Schwarzenegger is truly a cultural icon as the Terminator, with a
presence and voice so big he barely fits in the car,” said Julie
Mossler, spokeswoman, Waze. “Celebrity voice prompts are
one of our most popular features and a great way to add some fun to
time on the road. We are thrilled to offer such an unmistakable voice
and entertain drivers en route to the movies
this summer.”
The Waze app and special Terminator voice
commands are free of charge. Wazers will be able to opt in to using the
Terminator’s voice for navigation by clicking Settings -> Sound ->
