Possible Actors Up for Sarah and John Connor in 'Terminator 5'

There's a lot going on right now on the film side of the internet; a BIG Batman/Superman movie scoop is apparently coming, along with plenty of high-profile actors/actresses being announced for new projects (oh, and Will Smith is doing a publicity stunt about cheating with his co-star for attention).

But the piece of news that I came across today that I wanted to report on is the apparent first bit of casting in regards to the new Terminator fillm (anything Terminator related I read, even though the past two films raped my childhood).

Word comes today from a website I've never heard of - so I stress this with a grain of salt - that they know who's being eyed for both the roles of Sarah and John Connor in the planned Terminator 5 for summer 2015.

Sadly, neither of those names are Linda Hamilton or Edward Furlong.

The report states that Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones), Brie Larson (21 Jump Street), and Margot Robbie (The Wolf of Wall Street, my Will Smith reference above) are up for the role of Sarah Connor, while Boyd Holbrook(?) (The Host) and Garrett Hedlund (Tron: Legacy) are being eyed for the role of John Connor.

Before I get to my thoughts on this, let me at least state what this 'solid' rumor seems to confirm:

Terminator 5 will be a franchise reboot, a la what Star Trek did back in 2009.  Honor the original, but do a whole new thing, and when you're working with time travel, anything is possible.

Now onto the supposed casting...I don't get it, at all.

Not that any of those actors/actresses mentioned above are bad choices, but I just don't understand why are they casting a Sarah and John Connor with actors who are close to the same age, it's a mother and her son.

The only way I see this working is if the plot somehow involves John going back in time to save his mom when she's the same age as him which makes no friggin sense in any way, but I guess that's the speculation you get when absolutely nothing has been let out about the plot of this movie.

Hopefully, we get some official news about this project soon enough because that July 1st, 2015 release date will be here before you know it.
