TERMINATOR 5: ORPHAN BLACK'S Tatiana Maslany Also In The Mix For Sarah Connor Role

THR have posted an update on the casting progress for some of the biggest movies of the next couple of years. They don't really offer anything new for the likes of Batman Vs Superman or Star Wars Episode VII (well, they do confirm a previous report that a "40-something military type" is being sought also), but they do add one name to the list of contenders for the Sarah Connor role in Paramount's fifth Terminator movie. It seems Orphan Black actress Tatiana Maslany has also tested alongside Emilia Clarke and Brie Larson - however, no mention is made of Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street) who was also reported to be in the mix. Sarah Connor was played by both Linda Hamilton in both of James Cameron's original movies, and also Lena Headey in the tv show, The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Which of the above ladies would you like to see take up the mantle of the mother of the future?

Just so long as no actor plays John Connor twice. Don't want to break the tradition.

Let. This. Series. Die.

Seriously though, T2 ended the series perfectly. Everything after that just feels like a shameless cash grab.

if they go back to when sarah was younger and when her parents was still alive, surely she would recognize and be wary of the terminator in the first film :S urgh

Yeah, this movie doesn't need to be made. At all.

Orphan Black was kind of a pleasant surprise for me, btw. Not great, but pretty enjoyable to watch.

She looks like jail bait, but she's my age or older.
I've only seen her in Ginger Snaps 2 and an episode of Flashpoint where she plays a kid abducted at a young age and raised to a teenager with Stockholm's Syndrome - she was pretty good there.

Brie Larson and Emilia Clarke are 2 and 3 are my list.

Emma Stone is number one.

Damn, she could play a potato and it would be the best performance ever.
She's scarily talented.

And bad-ass. I'm all for it!

Scarily talented, I totally agree, Cherry.

I don't want a "younger Sarah Connor" if that means time travel (I mean, c'mon Terminator franchise) but DUDE I would love to see Tatiana in a cool film role.

I am really not looking forward towards this reboot. I suspect disaster for this.

I hate this trend of casting young people in everything so the younger crowd can 'relate' to them, I never understood that, when I was a kid, all or most heroes were adults and never once did I think, ohh, this sucks, I can't relate to them at all.

Tatiana is an excellent actress. I can't wait for season 2 of Orphan Black.
