Anton Yelchin is in talks to portray post-apocalyptic warrior Kyle Reese in director McG's
Terminator 4.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Yelchin will play a teen version of Reese, the man who fathered world savior John Connor in the original "Terminator" film.
Christian Bale will play John Connor in the time-traveling third sequel to the 1984 sci-fi action film, produced by the Halcyon Co. and set for a Warner Bros. release in summer 2009.
Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In
Terminator 4, the character is a young version of the one played by Michael Biehn, who traveled back in time in the original to impregnate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and father the world's future savior.
The film picks up with their son (Bale), now in his 30s, fighting desperately to save a decimated civilization against machines that have taken control. It's unclear if the father and child reunion is only a cyborg motion away in the new film.
Production is scheduled to start in early May.

And come on guys can we give Anton some slack? We've only seen a couple pictures and your all acting as if the world has stopped turning all because he looks younger. Besides, remember when everybody dissed Daniel Craig when we learned he was to be the new James Bond? All because he's more clean-cut and god forbid he have blonde hair. Look at how badass he turned out to be. I felt like an idiot for making fun of him and being so judgmental solely based on vanity. RELAX.
And no AndrewRyan, it won't be called just Terminator 4. Its only the working title since Warner Bros. dropped Salvation: The Future Begins. And the title of Future Wars in my opinion is terrible.
Can't they cast somebody older, somebody who would look tougher.
