Another (relatively unknown) star joins the growing ensemble of the potent action reboot...Paramount Pictures have today announced another member of the cast for their 2015 science-fiction blockbuster Terminator: Genesis. A reboot of the popular film franchise, Genesis will boast a completely revamped cast ensemble (well, barring one particularly notable exception- Arnold Schwazeneger will reprise his role as the franchise's iconic gunman) and a narrative which is separate from The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and, most importantly, the atrocious Terminator: Salvation.
The latest addition to the project is Jai Courtney, who will portray the character of Kyle Reese in the much-anticipated revival. In the past, Courtney has been attached to projects such as Jack Reacher and A Good Day To Die Hard, and as such, it's safe to say that he'll be hoping for more praising reviews from critics than those received by those two aforementioned action duds. His character is best known as the father of the franchise's central protagonist John Connor (set to be portrayed by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' Jason Clarke) and the boyfriend of Sarah Connor (here played by Game of Thrones' Emilia Clarke), which will inevitably bring down the weight of expectation upon his rendition from fans. All the same, we wish Jai the best of luck with a performance that could potentially define his career...
Terminator: Genesis proclaims "I'll be back" in cinemas worldwide on July 1st, 2015.
