Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions announced today that “Doctor Who” star Matt Smith will join the cast of the upcoming “TERMINATOR” reboot.

Smith will play a new character with a strong connection to John Connor, alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Emilia Clarke, Jai Courtney, J.K. Simmons, Dayo Okeniyi and Byung Hun Lee.

Alan Taylor is directing the film from a screenplay by Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier. David Ellison and Dana Goldberg of Skydance Productions are producing. Skydance’s Paul Schwake, Annapurna Pictures’ Megan Ellison, Kalogridis and Lussier are executive producing.

Smith is best known for playing The Doctor on the popular “Doctor Who” television series during the 2011-2103 seasons. His other television credits include “Christopher and His Kind,” “Moses Jones,” and “The Street.” He can be seen next on the big screen in “LOST RIVER,” directed by Ryan Gosling, alongside Christina Hendricks, Saoirse Ronan and Eva Mendes.

The role will be a set-up for a stronger role in the next two Terminators.

Edit, there was an article about a Rumor about Season 8 but the link was deemed to be a joke apparently... people suck.

dammmmmmmmmmmmm so excite

**BerenTebogo** · 2014-06-27 22:16

Hard to be excited with how bad the last season was, but we'll see.

I think this one is going to be a lot better. We have a more accomplished actor playing the Doctor, it's supposedly going to be a lot darker / have a much different tone than previous seasons. Moffatt wants to move away from "pretty boys going on adventures" and more towards something meatier and more challenging, or so he's said. He's written some fantastic episodes in the past (The Empty Child, Blink, The Girl in the Fireplace) so as long as he channels whatever writing ability he had at that time and tones down the cheese factor (and also gets some good writers on board for the eps he doesn't write himself), it should be pretty stellar.

His biggest problem is his need to throw in twists at EVERY turn, imo. He's constantly trying to one-up the last thing he showed you and trick the viewer into thinking one thing when really the show's doing another thing entirely. Sometimes he succeeds admirably, and sometimes it just feels like way too much and trips over itself. Season 6 suffered the most from this. I just couldn't be excited by the outcome of the plot due to its sheer over-intricacy...and some of the solutions ended up being pretty dumb, too. It's one thing to plant a surprise in the story, and quite another to make your viewers follow a labyrinth-like web of vague references, muddy puzzles and barely-noticeable tells for them to make any sense of the ending.

So let's hope the criticisms of series 6 and 7 have reached his ears and he drops some of the unnecessary frills and goes back to solid Doctor Who storytelling. If he can manage that, this could honestly be a great season.

I am a little bummed that there will be no Doctor Who panel at Comic-Con this year, but it makes sense seeing as how when they were in between Tennant and Smith, they didn't have a panel that year either. I am hoping they will set up something special at the BBC booth.

Also series episode information

The BBC is planning to show the season opener at an event in Cardiff on August 7th so I expect a lot of info about the first episode to be leaked online the day after. Not sure if this is a wise decision on BBC's part especially after Moffat got upset and threatened Comic Con fans last year about not leaking the trailer online.

Also, I am hearing this first episode will be 75 minutes long which is about the length of Day of the Doctor.

I hope you meant season not series correct? I guess its a British vs US terminology thing lol, in the US end of a series means its over never to be shown again. I was scared for a minute reading your post lol.

**Kaslo** · 2014-07-07 08:03
