Alex Welch here, and today we got some casting news regarding the new Terminator film, TERMINATOR: GENESIS. We’ve been getting casting news periodically throughout the past few months regarding this film. We found out that Arnold would be returning for the film, that Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke will be taking over the role of Sarah Connor, and that her son, John Connor, will be most likely played by Zero Dark Thirty’s Jason Clarke. So we’ve covered basically all of the iconic roles except for one… Kyle Reese.
Well, according to Deadline, they have reported that the role in the upcoming retelling will be played by either Jai Courtney or Boyd Holbrook.
Now, Holbrook has been in some lesser known films like Out of the Furnace & Behind the Candelabra, and he will be seen in some films later this year including Gone Girl and Jane Got a Gun. Meanwhile, Courtney has been in much more high profile films than Holbrook. Some of the films include I, Frankenstein, Jack Reacher, & A Good Day to Die Hard.
TERMINATOR: GENESIS is set to be released by Paramount and Skydance Studios on July 1st, 2015. It will be directed by Alan Taylor (Thor 2: The Dark World).
Overall Schmoeville, I don’t really know what to think of this news. I haven’t been impressed with any films Courtney has been in but then again, I missed Out of the Furnace and Behind the Candelabra last year so I don’t really have an opinion on either of these two choices yet.
What do YOU think Schmoeville? Which one of these guys would want to play Reese? Drop some comments below, share with your friends, and let’s discuss TERMINATOR: GENESIS!
