Thanks to her breakout role as Daenerys Targaryen in HBO's Game Of Thrones, British actress Emilia Clarke has a very promising big-screen career ahead of her. Though she has appeared in a few movies already (including Shackled and Dom Hemingway), her biggest role to date is undoubtedly that of Sarah Connor in the upcoming Terminator: Genisys. In the following video interview, Clarke fills us in on how she's adapting to the Hollywood limelight, and also discusses this new incarnation of the "mother of the future", who has been played twice already by Linda Hamilton in the original James Cameron films, and by Clarke's Thrones cast-mate Lena Headey in the Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series.
The beginning of Terminator: Genisys, the first of three planned films that Paramount hopes will relaunch the beloved sci-fi franchise, is set in 2029, when the Future War is raging and a group of human rebels has the evil artificial-intelligence system Skynet on the ropes. John Connor (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes’ Jason Clarke) is the leader of the resistance, and Kyle Reese (Divergent‘s Jai Courtney) is his loyal soldier, raised in the ruins of post apocalyptic California. As in the original film, Connor sends Reese back to 1984 to save Connor’s mother, Sarah (Game of Thrones‘ Emilia Clarke), from a Terminator programmed to kill her so that she won’t ever give birth to John. But what Reese finds on the other side is nothing like he expected.
Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke, Matt Smith, Byung-hun Lee, Courtney B. Vance, and J.K. Simmons, Terminator Genisys is set to be released on July 1st.
