J.K. Simmons is in talks for 'Terminator: Genesis'.
The 59-year-old actor is negotiating the role of an alcoholic detective who has followed the strange case which involves Sarah - who was originally the Terminator's target - and robots for more than three decades, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Simmons will join Emilia Clarke who portrays Sarah Connor - a character played by Linda Hamilton in the first and second films.
Jason Clarke is playing John Connor, and Jai Courtney has been cast as Kyle Reese, in the Alan Taylor-directed film.
Arnold Schwarzenegger will reprise the role he first played in 1984's 'The Terminator' after he was forced to step down from participating in the franchise while he was the Governor of California between 2003 - 2011.
He recently revealed he's "really looking forward" to working on the film.
The star said: "I'm really looking forward to that because as you know, the last time when they did 'The Terminator' it was when I was governor and so I couldn't be in that movie, but now I'm back again and they are very excited about having me in the film.
"The script is fantastic, so I'm really looking forward to this film."
'Terminator: Genesis' will be released in summer 2015.

Bryan Singer says 'X Men: Apocalypse' will have "more mass destruction" than previous films in the franchise.
The 48-year-old filmmaker - who helmed the forthcoming 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' - revealed 2016's sequel to the upcoming film will have a character who allows them to delve into aspects which the previous pictures haven't dealt with.
He explained to Total Film magazine: "'Apocalypse' will also have more of that mass destruction that 'X Men' films, to date, have not relied upon. There's definitely now a character and a story to allow room for that spectacle."
In the 'X-Men' comic books Apocalypse refers to a villainous rival, who is the world's first mutant, and Singer revealed the film, which will be set in the 80s, will explore the "ancient mutants".
He added: "We're going to deal with the notion of ancient mutants - the fact that they were born and existed years ago. But it will be a contemporary movie - well, it'll take place in the 80s ... The 80s is a period now - it's hard for me to believe that."
Singer will produce and co-write the script with 'Days of Future Past' scribe Simon Kinberg and the writers of 2003's 'X2', Dan Harris and Michael Dougherty.

Andrew Scott says filming in loincloths helped 'The Stag' cast bond.
The 37-year-old actor plays best man Davin in the comedy and had a "laugh" while they filmed Fionan's (Hugh O'Conor) bachelor party weekend in Ireland despite the cold weather.
Talking to BANG Showbiz at the film's premiere in London's Leicester Square yesterday (13.03.14), he said: "We were given little bits of material to stretch over ourselves! We filmed it in the first week, it was a very good way of bonding with the cast. It was freezing, wet and cold and it was filmed in the Irish mountains, but it was a laugh, a really good laugh. There were six of us so we had to make it fun really."
Scott - who is best known for his role as villain Moriarty in 'Sherlock' - was excited to take on a comedy, after playing darker roles on screen, and is hoping the film will prove popular with audiences.
He added: "It's really nice to get back to working on comedy, that's actually one of the reasons I took the role, that's what I did in theatre and a little but on TV back in the day. That's what I love about this, it's hard to find something that witty without copying other films, it's very Irish script but it's one I think people with enjoy."
He stars alongside Amy Huberman who were also at the premiere, as were The Only Way Is Essex's James Locke, Danielle Armstrong and Elliot Wright, as well as EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa.

Aaron Paul "loved" driving '68 Torino for 'Need for Speed'.
The 'Breaking Bad' actor plays mechanic Tobey Marshall in the forthcoming action film and enjoyed getting behind the wheel himself when they were shooting scenes for the movie.
Talking to collider.com, he said: "What I loved doing over and over and over again - because it took us six nights to shoot - was the first racing sequence in the 68 Torino, and the Mount Kiska race. We shot all over ... in a little quaint town in Georgia.
"It was all night shoots. I got to do the majority of that driving and it was just a blast. We left skid-marks all over that beautiful little town and they're still there a year later."
Paul admits he would have liked to be involved in the more dangerous stunts but isn't sure whether he'd actually have gone though with them if producers had permitted him to partake.
He added: "I wanted to be in the car driving off the cliff - because you're connected to the helicopter you're going to be fine.
"I don't know. Just to say you actually did that - it's pretty ... I mean there's not a chance in hell, and I knew that, that's why I was like 'Yeah, I'll do it'.
"If they were like, 'Yeah, we'll let you do it', if I'm being honest with you I probably wouldn't have done it."

Scarlett Johansson's pregnancy hasn't affected 'The Avengers: Age of Ultron' script.
The 29-year-old actress is due to welcome her first child into the world with her fiancé Romain Dauriac, 31, in August, and although film bosses were "excited" for her they needed to "move" things "shedule-wise".
Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige admitted they want to hide the blonde beauty's bump so viewers would "never know" Black Widow, also known as Natasha Romanoff, was pregnant when they shoot scenes for the upcoming movie.
Feige told Collider.com: "Well my first reaction was I was very happy for her and very excited for her. My second reaction was we've got to move some pieces on the chess board around schedule-wise. But we didn't change the script at all, which is sort of the most important things for us in terms of the storyline. I think the goal is for us to sit here talking about the fact that you would never know that Black Widow was pregnant during the filming of the movie when you see the final version of 'Avengers 2'."
