Emilia Clarke, Brie Larson, Margot Robbie and Evan Rachel Wood were all, at one point, rumored or in the running, to take over from Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor for 2015’s Terminator reboot – ‘Terminator Genisys’.
Ultimately, Emilia Clarke went head-to-head with Brie Larson for the role but due to the fact that Game of Thrones director Alan Taylor, was already selected to direct the fifth installment in the Terminator franchise; it seemed more than likely Emilia would bag the role… which she did.
Brie Larson has just launched a Youtube channel and shared the story of auditioning for Terminator.
“I auditioned for The Hunger Games, I auditioned for the Terminator reboot…”

Brie continued
“… I actually was thinking about the Terminator reboot today, because I got a flat tire and I was like ‘Oh the last time I got a flat tire was when I was driving into my audition for Terminator’, got a flat tire at the audition and then didn’t get the job.”

Brie not getting the role of Sarah Connor may have seemed like bad luck to the actress (at the time) but it was clearly more of a blessing in disguise, as Ms. Larson went on to star in 2015’s ‘Room’ for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress.
Do you think Terminator Genisys would have been improved with the inclusion of Brie Larson in the role of Sarah Connor?
