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.
