Jason Clarke In Talks To Play 'John Connor' In TERMINATOR: GENESIS

Yep, it seems that really is the title they're going with. Anyway, Aussie actor Jason Clarke (Lawless, Zero Dark Thirty) is in negotiations to play the lead role of resistance leader John Connor in Alan Taylor's new Terminator flick. Read on for more.

According to Deadline, Jason Clarke, who we will see next in Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, is in "early talks" (although depending on who you ask, it's a done deal) to play John Connor in the upcoming Terminator reboot(?), which we recently found out would be subtitled "Genesis". The site also names Game Of Thrones beauty Emilia Clarke as the frontrunner to play Sarah Connor, but mention that Brie Larson is still in the mix. Now obviously this means that John and his mother will both be from different timelines, and the general consensus is that it must be John who travels back much the same way Kyle Reese (Michael Biehn) did in James Cameron's original - although that character is apparently in this new movie too! It's all a bit of a mystery for now, but we know Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to return in some capacity. Paramount has set a July 1, 2015 release date.

So this time John will be older then his mother that's weird. As for Jason he is a great actor in the movies I've seen him in. I just hope that lots of terminators end up in the past. Because if I can't get to see a great future war movie at least make the one in the past awesome.

This FRANCHISE SUCKS - just give us the Man vs Machine WAR!!!!! we dont care about the time travelling aspect anymore thats why we have X men. So an older John conner is going to go back intime and save the teenage version of his mom so stupid....better bring the Men in Black memory eraser because what this does is totally negate every Terminator film....

I'd kick stars n' stripes in the bollocks for agreeing with the old man, but I'm fairly certain it'd cause a dimensional rift of some sort.
