Yo! Common added to co-star
|
|
|
ComingSoon reports on an article in Variety about rapper/actor Common being added to co-star in the upcoming
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins movie. OK... so its still this crappy title, even after Warner Bros
announcing they scrapped it alltogether?! Anyway... a rapper added to star in a Terminator movie. Mmmm.
Update
We learned that Common will appearently play Daniel Dyson, one of John's closest friends and son of Miles Dyson
who died in Terminator 2 after destroying all of his research. Of course we all know why he did it... after learning
that he was responsible for developing the very technology that would doom humanity. This is one of the first
few loops back to the original trilogy, after Anton Yelchin's role being rumoured to play a young Kyle Reese.
From ComingSoon
Rapper/actor Common (upcoming Wanted) has signed on to co-star in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins for
Halcyon Pictures, reports Variety.
Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Moon Bloodgood have already boarded the project, which will
be distributed by Warner Bros. domestically on May 22, 2009. Sony will release the film in most international
markets.
The story centers on John Connor (Bale), now in his 30s, who leads what is left of the human race in a battle
against the machines. Common will play a freedom fighter and member of Connor's inner circle.
McG directs from a script by John D. Brancato & Michael Ferris and Paul Haggis.
Dan Lin, Mortiz Borman, Victor Kubicek, Jeff Silver, Derek Anderson and Jeanne Allgood are producing the film.

About our newest freedom fighter and Connor confidant
From IMDb.com
Common is a Chicago-bred rapper who, in recent years, has become one of the more prominent voices in hip-hop's
new millennium renaissance. Born Lonnie Rashid Lynn in 1972 (check Whudat.com
for real names of many rappers), Common released his first LP, "Can I Borrow A Dollar?", under the Common Sense
moniker. Tracks like "Charm's Alarm" and "Breaker 1-9" established him a lyricist with wit, street-smarts, and
love for extended similes, while tracks like "Heidi Hoe" would touch on the misogynism that would surface sparingly
on future work.
In 1994, he released "Resurrection," notable for the smooth, 'Large Professor' produced title cut, as well as "I
Used To Love H.E.R.", an ode to hip-hop. This album further increased his underground rep, while giving the hip-hop
nation a new solid conscientious voice in a year that was excellent for underground artists (Nas, Jeru Tha Damaja,
Digable Planet, et al.)
After a name change brought on by a lawsuit, Common reemerged in 1997 with "One Day It'll All Make Sense". With
guests ranging from Erykah Badu to Canibus to De La Soul and production help from mainstays No I.D. and Dug Infinite,
the album was had a distinctly underground flair. His big mainstream breakthrough album, however, was yet to come...
After an appearance on The Roots smash 1999 album, "Things Fall Apart," Common moved to MCA Records. He soon was in
the studio collaborating with the Okayplayer collective, and with help from the forward-thinking production troupe
'Soulquarians' (Ahmir-Khalib Thompson, 'James 'Jay Dee' Yancey' , James Poyser, et al) released his fourth album,
"Like Water For Chocolate" in the spring of 2000. With its varied sonic plateau (Afrobeat, funk, and old-school soul),
it was much different from previous outings. But on the strength of tracks like the 'DJ Premier' produced banger
"The 6th Sense", the album was a success, becoming a worthy addition to "The Next Movement." In 2003, Common released
"Electric Circus", which ups the ante even further. The album, a hip-hop/funk/soul/rock/psychedelia hybrid, polarizes
hip-hop fans like no other album has in recent memory.
Common has also chosen to redefine himself, swearing off the alcohol, marijuana, and fornication that he had once
indulged in. Now in his early 30s, Common strives to remain a relevant voice in an art form that is on life support.
As an actor he has been in the following productions:
- Justice League: Mortal (2009) (pre-production) (rumored) as 'Green Lantern / John Stewart'
- Wanted (2008) (post-production) as 'The Gunsmith'
- Street Kings (2008) as 'Coates'
- American Gangster (2007) as 'Turner Lucas'
- Smokin' Aces (2006) as 'Sir Ivy'
- One on One (TV, 1 episode, 2004) as 'Darius'
- Game Over (TV, voice, 2004) as 'Common
- Girlfriends (TV, 1 episode, 2003) as 'Omar'
Thanx to forum-member 'csutkakoma' for the heads up!
