Danes on board for T3

'Romeo and Juliet' star Claire Danes has replaced actress Sophia Bush in the upcoming 'Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines'.

Variety reports that Danes will now play the girlfriend of freedom fighter John Conner (played by 'In the Bedroom' star Nick Stahl).

The movie, which once again stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, has been filming since 15 April, but director Jonathan Mostow felt that Bush was too young for the part and made the decision to cast Danes instead.

'Terminator 3' has a budget of between $155m and $170m and is set to hit cinemas next summer.
