Send me back to 1984 if old. http://variety.com/2014/film/news/terminator-kyle-reese-jai-courtney-1200827966/

After testing a handful of guys, Jai Courtney has been tapped to play Kyle Reese in Paramount and Skydance’s “Terminator” reboot.

Emilia Clarke is on board to play Sarah Connor and Jason Clarke will play John Connor. Arnold Schwarzenegger will also return in his iconic role. Alan Taylor is directing.

 

[Dead]

I liked him in Jack Reacher

 

[Abdozer]

Him?! Please no.

 

[Zeppeli]

Is Arnold in this

 

[CrankyJay]

Fuck that...reboot with a black man so Idris Elba can be a part of it.

 

[VeryGooster]

I'm sure Spartacus fans are thrilled. I've only seen this guy in Die Hard 5 (...) and Jack Reacher and I just get "Xeroxed Sam Worthington" vibes from both performances.

 

[LiK]

Is Arnold in this

article said he is

 

[Sectorseven]

Is The Rock still attached to this? Presumably as a Terminator.

 

[Darklord]

Just stop. I love Terminator but just god damn stop.

 

[jett]

This guy was Varro in Spartacus. I'll allow it. But I'm still not thrilled about the continuing mangling of this franchise.

 

[Mackenzie 92]

terrible choice.

 

[Count Dookkake]

So which of the OG characters will be killed in a twist?

 

[slit]

WAIT A MINUTE!

I thought they were going back to Sarah's parents time. How is a 70 year old Arnold going to pull this off?

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

The stink of Good Day to Die Hard didn't hurt him I guess.

 

[MisterHero]

that's not edward furlong

Malfunctioning terminator that's how, duuh

Apparently Arnie is playing the T-800

 

[The Lamonster]

Okay casting, but I'll probably skip this as I did "Robocop"

 

[robovanburen]

The actor from the last Die Hard movie? Cool. I guess he's replacing Shia LaBeouf as the guy who ruins everything cool about the eighties.

Edit: Not that it's his fault that these studios are wringing every last drop out of old franchises.

 

[params7]

Varro is going places.

The Rock's body + Arnie's head x CG magic

 

[akira28]

Terminator....reboot?

oh god.

 

[slit]

Malfunctioning terminator that's how, duuh

More like the Geritol model.

 

[PaleFolklore]

This guy has zero charisma and he's going have been in 2 of the most beloved action franchises of all time. This makes me legitimately upset.

 

[Sectorseven]

I'm guessing Arnie will play the human version that the T-800 was based off of, and somehow he'll get killed protecting Kyle Reese.

 

[anarckitty]

Okay. I don't have complaints about Jai Courtney, but why the fuck are they rebooting Terminator???

=(

 

[zsswimmer]

I had no idea there was a reboot in the make

Courtney is the new Jeremy Renner is the new Sam Worthington is the new, um...

 

[Tobor]

This sounds amazingly stupid. lol.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I don't know why but I don't like him as an actor.

 

[harSon]

American actors can't get a role to save their life anymore Lol

 

[shield]

I can't comment on his acting skills because I've never seen him in anything, but he looks nothing like Michael Biehn.

 

[Nemesis121]

Is The Rock still attached to this? Presumably as a Terminator.

Nope, since the article say this...

Arnold Schwarzenegger will also return in his iconic role. Alan Taylor is directing.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

How does this guy look? Why does Filmgaf never post a picture of a new cast actor?

We'll Worthington had probably the best performance in Terminator Salvation lol

 

[xxracerxx]

Noooo

That was not there a moment ago I mean the pic in the OP. But

Thx for the effort.

 

[slit]

Nope, since the article say this...

Well at least it's not all bad news then.

 

[anarckitty]

I haven't seen all of his movies, but I remember that I really liked him Terminator Salvation even though the movie itself wasn't that great.

 

[AkuMifune]

Who, the new Sam Worthington? Also destined to vanish after Hollywood realizes they need more than someone who just kinda looks the part?

 

[Extra Sauce]

Arnold is pushing 70, hope he doesn't play the T-1000. Could be cool if he plays a human who is eventually used as a template to create the first Terminator.

 

[PumpkinPie]

Other reports said it was between this guy and Boyd Holbrook. I don't know either of them, but Holbrook definitely looks like a better fit for the role than some meathead:

 

[Liquidsnake]

You guys are gonna be eating a lot of your words, when this takes the place as the third best terminator film ever!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Indrid Cold1]

No Aaron Paul, no sale.

 

[sankt-Antonio]

You guys are gonna be eating a lot of your words, when this takes the place as the third best terminator film ever!!!!!!!!!!

Give me a weekend, a go-pro cam and a paper cut out of Arnold and i would make a movie that takes the place as the third best terminator film ever.

 

[Paches]

Too bad Scullibundo wasn't the OP.

 

[Jasup]

You guys are gonna be eating a lot of your words, when this takes the place as the third best terminator film ever!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, but it'll be the third Terminator movie ever made, so it's not much of an accomplishment.

 

[Joni]

Kyle Reese is ripped. He'd be a better Terminator.
