It was in January 2013 when fans have found themselves cheering over the announcement that the fifth movie of the Terminator franchise was in development. It was also during that time that Paramount and Skydance have employed both Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier to begin formulating an awesome plot. Back then, we didn't know much about what is going to be about, but what we do know is that it is the first movie of a trilogy.

The next Terminator movie will be called Terminator Genesis. In this movie, various characters from the sci-fi franchise will be reunited with some new faces to make the plot even more interesting. Among the new faces are G.I. Joe: Retaliations' Byung Hun Lee and Doctor Who's Matt Smith. Rumor has it that one of the two, or maybe even both will play a robot that were sent back in time to finish off John Connor.

Emilia Clarke or as we now know her to be, Daenerys Targaryen from HBO's high-grossing series Game of Thrones have also been confirmed to be a cast of the show. She will be playing the role of the ass-kicking heroine Sarah Connor. She may not have dragons to help her fight off enemies, but we are pretty sure her fighting skills are more than enough to keep many of them down.

Paramount has pegged the release of the film on July 1, 2015 which is now less than a year away. We'll keep you posted for more updates about the film.
