T4! Christian Bale will be John Conner

It looks like there will be a Terminator Sequel called Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Christian Bale (of Batman Dark Knight fame) signed on to be starring as John Conner. In this fourth Terminator movie, John Conner at age 30 begins his role as the future leader of the human resistance against the robots of skynet. However, at least one site says that Bale's part is rumored to be just a supporting role so don't expect a lot from John Conner. The Rock will also play a role (New Terminator?). It doesn't look like any of the previous guard will be in the new movie (Arnold Swartzenegger, Linda Hamilton, or James Cameron). That seems to be upsetting the fans. Will there be an Arnie cameo at least? The video games release will happen mid-2009 which is supposed to coincide with the release of the movie. In other news, did you know there will be a TV show called "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles"? It's supposed to come out mid January. Who knows if the writer's strike will put a damper on it.
