Terminator 4 being made - Christian Bale to play John Connor

[NewJeffCT]

supposedly takes place several years after the nuclear holocaust that ended T3, but before Arnold is sent back in time to kill Sarah Connor in the original Terminator movie.

It looks like it could be at least 2-3 movies in this futuristic setting.

THE FUTURE BEGINS HERE

When Ain't It Cool broke the story that Christian Bale was in Terminator 4, playing John Connor, one of my sources became confused. That couldn't be true, I was told - John Connor is barely in the movie. Turns out that it's true, and that yes, John Connor is barely in the movie. Over the last week I have been gathering some details about Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, and while I am trying to steer clear of serious spoiler material, people who don't want to know anything about this movie should step away from the computer right now.

John Connor is not the main character of Terminator 4; that character is someone named Marcus. Marcus was put 'out of commission' before the nuclear holocaust on Judgment Day and he wakes up about 15 years before the future we see in the original Terminator films, which puts the movie at about 2015 or so. Marcus is a bad ass - think along the lines of Riddick - and what he finds is a blasted world filled with horror. Radiation poisoning, starvation, rampant jaywalking - all the things you expect post-apocalypse. There's also John Connor, who is trying to build a utopian society while running the human resistance.

[Deja Q]

7. I thought that terminator tv show would keep all the rabid fans in post-coital bliss for a while?

I guess not...

[NewJeffCT]

8. there was a Terminator TV show?

never heard about it.

[AlCzervik]

9. there is one starting on nbc, i think it's called The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

[Dr. Strange]

10. No, no, it's Fox:

Fox has a show starting in January, called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, which will feature a mechanical female kicking ass. NBC has the show Bionic Woman, about a mechanical female who kicks ass.

Hope this clears up any confusion.
