Deadline are reporting that "Zero Dark Thirty" actor Jason Clarke is in very early talks to playing an older John Connor in Alan Taylor's 2015 "Terminator" reboot, "Terminator: Genesis". First, I need to report that yes, "Thor: The Dark World" director, Alan Taylor, is pretty much directing the next film in the long running sci-fi franchise. Nothing has been confirmed as to yet but he seems to be the only director talking about it since "Fast & Furious" director, Justin Lin, left the project months back. Second, the upcoming 2015 reboot has been officially called "Terminator: Genesis". I like the title but I think it could have been better. They could've called it something like "Terminator: War Of The Machines" or "Terminator: The Fall Of Man". The title will probably get changed at some point because they always do during production.
Anyway, Clarke is one of many well known male actors to be tied to playing the role of the rebooted John Connor in the film. Fans can assume that seeing as though Clarke is the oldest actor who's rumoured to be in the running for the role of Connor, this John Connor will be older than his mother Sarah Connor in the film. I'm assuming that John will come back from the future to the past to save his mother? Questions will be answered as soon as filming begins and an official synopsis is released.
On the note of Sarah Connor, "Game Of Thrones" actress Emilia Clarke, another Clarke, is reportedly the strongest candidate for the role of Sarah. Only time will tell for the both of them. I'll keep you guys posted as soon as I get in new news on the casting.
