Inside Llewyn Davis Review By: MattInRC Inside Llewyn Davis is your typical recent Cohen Brothers flick, which is why we don't like it. The Cohen Brothers are certainly Hollywood's version of the lone wolf.

After taming dragons on “ Game of Thrones ,” Emilia Clarke is preparing to fight cyborgs as she will portray Sarah Connor in Paramount, Skydance and Annapurna’s “ Terminator ” reboot. Clarke , along with Brie Larson , tested for the part but sources say that the “Thrones” star was the early favorite. Sources said the studio was also interested in Margot Robbie, but she never read for the part. Clarke’s deal closed Friday. “ Thor: the Dark World ” helmer Alan Taylor is directing the film with Skydance and Annapurna co-financing along with the studio with David Ellison producing for Skydance and sibling Megan Ellison producing for Annapurna. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier penned the script. Plot details have not been revealed other than the project serving as the first film in a stand alone trilogy. “ Zero Dark Thirty” star Jason Clarke began negotiations this week to play the iconic role of John Connor, the son of Sarah Connor. Besides Clarke, Arnold Schwarzenegge

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Alan Taylor is prepping to begin testing actors and actresses for the sci-fi feature project, which is being made by Paramount, Annapurna Pictures and Skydance Productions. The testing will begin next next week, with Taylor seeing Game of Thrones’ Emilia Clarke, Brie Larson (The Spectacular Now) as well as another actress vying for the role of young Sarah Connor . Margot Robbie’s name has also surfaced in connection with the role. Connor was played by Linda Hamilton in the classic movies directed by James Cameron. The character is the future mother of John Connor, who grows up to be the leader of the human resistance in the war between humanity and cyborgs. Names of those in contention began surfacing earlier this week. Taylor will also be searching for his young Kyle Reese , the man who will father John. Those actor tests will occur at a later date but insiders say Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy) is on the short list although sources

He survived without food and water for 47 days, enduring shark attacks, aerial attacks and hunger before washing ashore on a Japanese island behind enemy lines, where he was held as a prisoner of war for two years and tortured by his captors. Hedlund would play the leader of the prisoners at the camp where Zamperini is being held. Jolie, Matthew Baer, Erwin Stoff and Clayton Townsend will produce. Mick Garris will serve as
