Paramount Targets Sarah Connor For ‘Terminator’ Reboot

While no offers have been made, and nothing is imminent, Deadline is reporting that Paramount Pictures and director Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) are looking closely at Emilia Clarke (pictured above; “Game Of Thrones”) and Brie Larson, pictured below, to play the role of Sarah Connor in the Terminator reboot that is being assembled for a July, 2015 release.

Both actresses have tested for the producers, and they are the frontrunners. They are told that Clarke has an edge being that she worked with Clarke in HBO’s “Game Of Thrones.” Brie Larson is emerging from distinguished work on the indie film circuit that this year includes Short Term 12 and The Spectacular Now.

In some new plot details, they hear that Kyle Reese, played by Michael Biehn in the original film, will be a character in this version, as will John Connor, so it seems like a jump into the future might be part of the plot line. The completion of this franchise is expected to span at least two films. They are casting the Sarah Connor role before Reese and John Connor.

The film’s produced by Annapurna’s Megan Ellison and Skydance’s David Ellison, and the script is by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. Arnold Schwarzenegger is booked for a return as the title character.

Two New Images from ‘Alien: Romulus’ Spotlight the Heroes and the Giger-Faithful Monster

Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.

The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.

Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.

The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.

Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.

Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…

“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”

Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.

Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.” 

Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
