Christian Bale set to take the fight to Skynet
We've all got our doubts about Terminator 4. Most fans of the series weren't impressed with the last outing, T3 (though I admittedly enjoyed it) and when McG was announced as director for Terminator 4, we held our heads collectively.
Those unaware of who McG is, he directed such masterpieces as Charlies Angels. Yeah, exactly.
However, we've now had our first bit of good T4 news. Variety reports that Christian Bale has been cast to play an older John Connor in next years Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Bale, set to appear on the big screen again as Batman in next year's The Dark Knight, has signed on the dotted line for Terminator 4. Surely an actor of Bale's pedigree would only sign up to a project knowing it has potential? Could the script actually be good?
The movie, following on from T3, will see the inevitable war between mankind and machine take place. If lacking in other areas, the movie should surely deliver in terms of action sequences.
Very little else is known about the movie as of yet and there are currently no signs of Arnie making an appearance.
