Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins producers Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek spoke with
EW.com and confirmed that Christian Bale will be playing John Connor in the new trilogy. In addition, they revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger may appear in the next film:
Will Schwarzenegger be returning in any form?
Kubicek: He may make a cameo.
Anderson: It still hasn't been determined, but if he does, it would be a very small cameo.
That's a tricky thing, because at this point, you don't want his presence to be a distraction, right?
Kubicek: That's sort of how we feel, though you can't divorce him from this franchise. He's a huge supporter of it, and he's very excited about what we're doing. It's for no lack of enthusiasm that we wouldn't bring him back. But I think we agree with you. This is about the future of the franchise, and we're really excited to bring in all new elements, while still maintaining the core mythology.

McG is the director. This one better not look anything like Charlie's Angels or I'm going postal.
The title sucks. Call it Terminator Salvation, but what's with The Future Begins? Honestly, it doesn't need two extra titles
1) Arnold Schwarzenegger will have a 30-second cameo (Moviehole.net)
2) Christian Bale to star as a 30-year-old John Connor or a Terminator
3) McG will be directing the first part of the new trilogy.
4) The story will be written by David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato, and Michael Ferris, and it will take place after the events of T3 and focus mainly on the war between man and Skynet.
5) On July 19, 2007, the film news site Dark Horizons revealed that the Terminator 4 project is currently in legal limbo due to a lawsuit between MGM and Halcyon subsidiary T Asset. According to the article, MGM has an exclusive window of 30 days to negotiate for distribution of the Terminator films. When negotiating for Terminator 4, Halcyon rejected their initial proposal, and MGM suspended negotiations. After the 30 days were over, MGM claimed that the period during which negotiations were suspended did not count and their exclusive period is still open. Halcyon is now asking a court for an injunction allowing them to approach other distributors.
6) According to an interview on February 1, 2005, Nick Stahl and Claire Danes will not be returning for "Terminator 4".
7) Reliable sources all over the web are claiming that Vin Diesel could be taking on the role of the film's robotic killing machine.
