Photo Shows Return of Young John Connor In ‘Terminator,’ Which Will Take Us Back to the ’90s!

Published

Tim Miller is heading back to 1991 with Terminator, the next sequel in the franchise that’s now filming in Madrid. The newest installment is said to ignore all sequels except James Cameron‘s Terminator 2: Judgment Day, although it’s been unknown up until this point where the story would pick up.

It was reported last month that Brett Azar had joined the cast. This was notable as he played a younger Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator: Genisys, which suggested we’ll possibly be seeing a younger version of the T-800 in some capacity. Now, it looks like another character will be returning.

A photo is making the rounds that shows Azar with a young actor, Jude Collie, who is alleged to be playing a young John Connor in Terminator! When the photo was shared on socials, it declared both actors as CGI stand-ins, which means it’s quite possible that we’ll be seeing Edward Furlong‘s young face in the film.

While it’s incredibly disappointing that Furlong wasn’t cast to star in the film alongside Linda Hamilton (Sarah Connor), it’s a relief to know that he’ll be included in some capacity. Also, if true, this photo all but confirms that Miller will be heading back to 1991 and toying with the events in Cameron’s Judgment Day! Does this also mean we’ll see the return of Robert Patrick‘s T-1000?! Oh God, don’t tease me.

Miller and Cameron recently found their new Terminator in Gabriel Luna, who appeared as Ghost Rider in ABC’s superhero series Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” Paramount releases the film on November 22, 2019.

Thanks to Bloody reader  for tipping me off! Update: TheTerminatorFans.com originally broke the news but had a takedown request as their report contained speculation that could have been too close to the mark of how the young actor will be utilized in the movie.

Jessica Rothe Keeps the Hope Alive for Third ‘Happy Death Day’ Movie

Published

on

It’s now been five years since the release of sequel Happy Death Day 2U, Christopher Landon’s sequel to the Groundhog Day-style slasher movie from 2017. Both films star Jessica Rothe as final girl Tree Gelbman, and director Christopher Landon had been planning on bringing the character – and the actor – back for a third installment. So… where is it?!

We’ve been talking about a potential Happy Death Day 3 for several years now, with the ball in producer Jason Blum’s court. Happy Death Day 2U scared up $64 million at the worldwide box office, a far cry from the first film’s $125 million. But with a reported production budget of just $9 million, that first sequel was profitable for Blumhouse. So again… where is it?!

Chatting with Screen Geek this week while promoting her new action-thriller Boy Kills World, franchise star Jessica Rothe provided a hopeful update on Happy Death Day 3.

Well, I can say Chris Landon has the whole thing figured out,” Rothe explains. “We just need to wait for Blumhouse and Universal to get their ducks in a row.

Rothe continues in her comments to Screen Geek, “But my fingers are so crossed. I think Tree [Gelbman] deserves her third and final chapter to bring that incredible character and franchise to a close or a new beginning.”

Back in 2020, Christopher Landon had revealed that the working title for the third installment was Happy Death Day to Us, said to be “different than the other two films.”

In the meantime, Christopher Landon is directing a mysterious thriller titled Drop for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes, along with a werewolf movie titled Big Bad for Lionsgate.
