Divide and Conquer: Michael Biehn Beats Back the Bomb (Again)

In the new apocalypse, stir-crazy humans become the true terminators.

In The Divide, opening today, a group of survivors gathers in a basement just in time to escape a devastating nuclear attack. But they have a trump card - Michael Biehn, who's been through the cinematic apocalypse before. We sat down to hear the erstwhile Reese say his piece.

GeekChicDaily: Back in the '80s, it often felt like a nuclear war could easily happen tomorrow, whereas nowadays it seems a bit less likely...

Michael Biehn: I think it's more likely to happen today than it was back then in '84...I'm scared for my children and my grandchildren, because I think something like this could happen very easily, even in my lifetime.

GCD: So in a situation like The Divide, how long would Michael Biehn the actor last?

MB: With that group of guys? I think I could've held my own, but Milo [Ventimiglia] would be the alpha dog in that group. Milo's a former wrestler and a strong guy. And Michael [Eklund]'s younger than me. I probably would be third in line.

GCD: We're finally seeing toys based on the first Terminator. Has NECA contacted you about doing Reese?

MB: Nobody's contacted me about it, but of course I'd be happy to do it if there were dollar signs connected to it!
