I am pretty excited about this news because unlike some people I heard that didn't like Terminator Salvation, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I love this new look at the terminators and Skynet and all that added with talented actors and you make great entertainment.
Terminator Genesis is the first in a new trilogy and as far as the plot is concerned Paramount Pictures and keeping a lid on it. But here is what I do know.
Some of the cast are:
Arnold Schwarzenegger- Terminator
Emilia Clarke- Sarah Connor
Daenerys Targaryen (Khaleesi) from Game Of Thrones will be taking on the role of Sarah Connor. Not really sure how she'll do in a role like this since it is her first big production film. We shall see.
Jai Courtney- Kyle Reese
I thought he was great in Jack Reacher and A Good Day To Die Hard. He definitely looks like an actor who would be in a terminator film. His tough guy, military like style. It works so for me I'm down.
Byung-hun Lee
It hasn't been said yet what his character is but I am still really glad he is in the movie. As much as I HATED the first G.I. Joe and wasn't really blown away by the second one either. The one character that made it watchable was Storm Shadow. I really enjoy the energy he brings on screen and I think hes going to be a good fit in a film like this.
Jason Clarke- John Connor
From Lawless to Zero Dark Thirty to Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, this actor is building one impressive resume. I thought he was really good in Lawless and Zero Dark Thirty and I'm not worried about him in Planet Of The Apes either. Very talented actor so I think he is also a good fit.
Alan Taylor- Director
Alan Taylor directed Thor: The Dark World and I think like 6 episodes of Game Of Thrones. I'm excited to see what him and the writers got cooking up to start this new Terminator trilogy.
What are your thoughts on this news? How do you feel about a new terminator trilogy? Let me know in the comments below!
As a fan of the original Terminator movies, I have to say that I am genuinely excited to see where they take the franchise.
ReplyDeleteWhile I have not seen Jason Clarke in anything notable, I am not sure if he fits the character of John Connor well, but we shall see.
Byung-hun Lee's casting excites me quite a bit actually. He was also the only bright spot among those terrible G.I. Joe movies, and he was freaking awesome in Red.
Considering how well Alan Taylor made The Dark World, I have confidence that he is going to do a great job with this one.
Also, it has recently been announced that Matt Smith has joined the cast, so I am excited for that.
