Jai Courtney Talks Terminator: Genesis

Jai Courtney scored the role of Kyle Reese in Paramount and Skydance’s Terminator: Genesis, and recently he sat down with IGN to talk a little about the role and the upcoming film. Read on for details.

“I’ve always had a bit of skepticism about something being rebooted. I remember when [A Good Day to] Die Hard came around a few years ago, I was like, ‘Really? They’re gonna make another one?’ and then I found myself in it and totally invested in it,” said Courtney.

“I think it’s healthy to have that [skepticism] because you want it to be something [special], you want to keep that eye for quality sharp.”

“But when I read this, I was pretty into it and the story’s cool,” Courtney continued. “It’s attached a great cast as well. I think Emilia Clarke’s wonderful and she’s got a lot of support and stuff behind her. And Jason Clarke as well I’m a big admirer of so, yeah, it’s gonna be really cool, man. I’m looking forward to doing that, and running around with Arnie won’t be too bad.”

Terminator: Genesis begins filming soon in Louisiana under the direction of Alan Taylor (Thor 2) for a July 1, 2015, release.
