Emilia Clarke's name was brought up several times when the shortlist for the actresses being looked at to play 'Sarah Connor' in Terminator: Genesis were reported, but Deadline now confirms that she's signed on to play the character. It apparently came down to her and Brie Larson, with both actors auditioning for producers. This reunites Clarke with Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor, while it's thought that the actress will be joined by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes star Jason Clarke as 'John Connor' in a storyline which the site says, ""involves a trip into the future." Variety adds that Garrett Hedlund, Nicholas Hoult and Boyd Holbrook are being looked at for 'Kyle Reese'. Arnold Schwarzenegger is also set to return. How do you guys feel about this news?

Paramount wanted Brie Larson and Alan Taylor wanted his GoT gal Emilia Clarke. I guess he won.

This Sarah Connor isn't the tough chick from the T2 version.

Just show us the war! dammit, just show us the damn war!. This will probably be worse than Salvation.

Hopefully this will improve her acting for GoT season 5

Wooo! They're not doing a stupid post-Judgment Day movie (which would be just about the most boring, drab, unappealing timeframe to set the films in)!

Wooo! They're casting someone decent as Sarah Connor!

Wooo! Arnold's back!

Hell, this film is actually starting to look a bit appealing...

if this is a young sarah connor, then she will obviously be the scared women from the first film and... if she goes into the future how would she not remember that if this is the sarah connor before the very first film,unless they use the whole memory wipe shite

Lena Heady was a great Sarah Conner... I wonder if they will swap experiences or stories about playing Sarah Conner later on?

@13 it would be ironic if Emilia was in fact a terminator and was sent back in time to kill Lena Hedley

Clarke's a good choice for Sarah Connor, although I'm not sure how necessary this movie is. Salvation was pretty meh.
