\"Dayo<\/a>After The Hollywood Reporter’s Borys Kit<\/strong><\/a> initially tweeted that Attack the Block’s John Boyega<\/strong> was in the running to play Miles Dyson’s son in ‘Terminator: Genesis<\/strong>,’ it seems that The Hunger Games’ Dayo Okeniyo<\/strong> has officially landed the role, reports Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joe Morton<\/strong> played Dyson in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. According to Wikipedia<\/a>, <\/strong>\u201cDoctor Miles Bennett Dyson was the original inventor of the neural-net processor<\/a> which would lead to the development of Skynet<\/a>, a computer A.I. intended to control electronically linked weapons and defend the United States, but which would later seize control of the world and launch a global war of extermination against humanity. He was the man most directly responsible for Judgment Day<\/a>, although his work was clearly not intended to bring about that, and Dyson was visibly distraught and disgusted to learn of the Rise of the Machines.<\/p>\n

\"ARNOLD<\/a>Miles was married to Tarissa Dyson<\/a>, with whom he had two children, Danny<\/a> and Blythe<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alan Taylor<\/strong> is directing the first of a stand alone trilogy with Jason Clarke as John Connor<\/strong>, Game Of Thrones\u2019 Emilia Clarke as Sarah Connor<\/strong>, Jai Courtney as Kyle Reese. <\/strong>J.K. Simmons is also in the film as, according to THR<\/a>, \u201ca weary and alcoholic detective who has followed a bizarre case involving Sarah Connor and robots for more than three decades.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/strong> will also return in his iconic role.<\/p>\n

\"Terminator<\/a>Since playing Thresh in The Hunger Games, Okeniyi has gone to play supporting roles in The Spectacular Now, ‘Runner, Runner,’ and most recently ‘Endless Love.’
\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, speculation is high that Boyega may land a\u00a0 lead role in J.J. Abrams\u2019 Star Wars: Episode VII.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

Skydance will finance Terminator: Genesis<\/strong> along with the studio with David Ellison<\/strong> producing for Skydance. Laeta Kalogridis<\/strong> and Patrick Lussier<\/strong> co-wrote the script. Paramount will distribute the film.<\/p>\n
