The Hollywood Reporter is confirming what we've heard before- Christian Bale is most likely going to be John Connor in
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. However, word around town is that John Connor is NOT the main character in the film, as the story focuses on a new character, with Connor taking more of a secondary role.
Pretty interesting that they're casting such a high-profile actor in such a minor role, isn't it? What could this mean?
Stay tuned for more answers...

plz! arnie is old! he's not going 2 be in T4

for Terminator series info!!
Also, there have been several book series and graphic novels associated with the Terminator series. The films have been novelized as well.
has been confirmed that T4 will take place after the events of T3, and will focus mainly on the war between man and Skynet.
So at this point anything goes!!!
"Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" will be:
After the drastic effects of "Terminator 3", the story continues as John Connor and soon to be wife Kate Brewster realize they must create a resistance organization with Earth's remaining survivors against the army of robots slowly being built up by Skynet. As they are building this resistance, one survivor happens to be a traitor in disguise, and has a secret that nobody would ever come to suspect.
There is also this "rumor", that Vin Diesel is taking meetings with the Terminator people and the assumption is it's about him being a Terminator???
Christian Bale should be interesting, but I agree John Connor can't be a "minor" role. The films revolved around him. I wondering why James Cameron is not involved, or what he thinks of these changes??
I'm still scratching my head over "McG" directing?? I mean this is the man who gave us such silly films as:
"Charlie's Angels", "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle", "We Are Marshall", and "Stay Alive"!
I ageree W./"Space101". The first 2 Terminators were good, & the 3rd came from left field with ending. The 4th film has potential, but without John Connor in a major role it will suck. Also what about Arnold Schwarzenegger and/Or Linda Hamilton to? Will they even be mentioned?
I just can't believe James Cameon let this slip though his fingers!??
On May 9, 2007, it was announced that rights to the Terminator series had passed hands from producers Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar to the Halcyon Co., a privately funded company formed by entrepreneurs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. In a Variety article detailing the purchase, it states the fourth film is now earmarked for a summer 2009 release and will focus on a 30-year old John Connor in what the producers hope will be a new trilogy.
This could be really really good, exciting & fresh, or just silly and stupid to make a boatload of cash short on story, substance and/Or plot!
