Last week we found out that casting for the key role of Kyle Reese in Alan Taylor's Terminator flick had come down to two front-runners, and now Variety report that Jai Courtney will be the one to take a crack at the machines alongside Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) as Sara Connor and Jason Clarke (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes) as her their son John. Yes, the character's ages definitely imply we're in for quite a bit of time hopping, but aside from that, specific plot details are still under wraps. Skydance and Annapurna will co-finance along with the studio, with David Ellison producing for Skydance. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier penned the script. Terminator: Genesis will be released July 1, 2015.

This guy? Wasn't he in the last "Die Hard" movie?

No love for Varo? Damn, I think he is a good choice, a bit beefier of a guy than I expected for Kyle Reese.

LOL @ Bravado

"Jack Reacher" is the only one I've seen that you have listed. And I don't even remember him in that one.

I'm not a huge fan of this guy. Jack Reacher I felt was dragged down by him and I can't really blame him for Die Hard.

They keep grooming these really bland, faceless actors to be the next action hero go-to. Watching Jai Courtney is about as boring an experience as you cab have.

I like him. He's super hot.
But I feel like I've seen him everywhere lately. I always the character as being the unsuspecting underdog hero type, not some guy who's built like a wrestler.

If most of you feel it ended after "T2", then why waste your time trolling on this article? Seriously, do your lives hold no other merit?
