Terminator 4... Christian Bale is John Conner

Today from The Hollywood reporter comes word that Christian Bale is indeed going to be playing John Conner. Despite earlier word that he would be playing a different but major role in the film. Anton Yelchin is apparently in talks to play Kyle Reese which we all know is the John Conners father. He will play a TEENAGE John Reese which means this movie would be based 8-10 years before the FIRST Terminator movie.

Remember earlier that we told you the title for Terminator Salvation has been dropped. Now that you are all in a huge panic let me just clarify that the title is what has been dropped. CS is reporting that the Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is now just Terminator 4. Frankly the title was to damn long and it doesnt bother me at all that they are changing it.

Terminator 4 will hit theatres May 22nd, 2009. John Conner will be a minor role and instead the main character will be somebody named Marcus who is not cast yet. I an confirm from my studio insiders that he is not cast yet. Anyrate the character of Marcus is compared to a Riddick character. He is in a coma and wakes up 15 years into the war between the machines and mankind and in a nut shell he kicks alot of ass and takes alot of names. CHUD re-affirms what we were told by 'J' that the carnage and scale of the war in Terminator 4 will be mind blowing. Needless to say kids Terminator Salvation should kick some serious ass!
