14 Dec – "Zero Dark Thirty" star Jason Clarke is set to be cast as John Connor, a character last played by Christian Bale, in the upcoming reboot "Terminator: Genesis". The Australian star is the first actor to be cast in the reboot, and the film will be directed by "Thor: The Dark World" helmer Alan Taylor. The plot is largely being kept quiet, though it may follow much of the basics of James Cameron's original '(wo)man vs. machine' narratives.
