Meanwhile, Game Of Thrones‘ young star Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, is also set to play the part of Sarah Connor in the upcoming Terminator film. There is no release date yet for the film, but sometime in 2015 is likely. Coincidentally, her co-star on Game Of Thrones Lena Headey already played Sarah Connor in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, the show that aired on Fox.

The Game Of Thrones television series is based on the book series by George R.R. Martin called “A Song Of Ice And Fire,” and it is a series that is still being written. The format of the show has translated to about two seasons per book so far.

The fourth season is expected to chart the events chronicled in the latter half of the Martin’s sprawling third book in the series, “A Storm of Swords,” but will also introduce characters and occurrences from other novels.
