Christian Bale takes to the screen as John Connor on May 22nd 2009

Terminator 4 doesn't seem like such a good idea and following most fans' disliking of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, you have to wonder if another outing for the franchise is such a good idea.

Late last year however, it was revealed that Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) would play an older John Connor, surely a good sign.

Well, whether you've got your doubts or not, what we do have today is a confirmed release date as Warner Bros. Studios has announced that Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins will be released at the cinema on May 22nd 2009.

That puts the next Terminator outing up against Night at the Museum II: Escape From the Smithsonian, Ben Stiller's dino-comedy sequel.

Terminator Salvation will mark the beginning of a new Terminator trilogy, it will tell the tale of humanities struggle to stay alive after Skynet's nuclear attack. Though fans of the series continue to hope for a cameo appearance from Arnold Schwarzenegger, an appearance from the Californian governor hasn't been confirmed.

From now on, I think I'll just pencil in my May 22nd's as a day to spend at the box office. Indiana Jones 4 this year, Terminator 4 next year, I wonder what May 22nd 2010 will bring?

Hmmm, question is will they stick to the things we already know from the original trilogy or will they now be changing things to suit the new trilogy and ruining whats gone before…
Last I heard is that this was a direct follow up to T3… so the Terminatrix still has technology taken from the Knight Industries Two Thousand (“Microjam mode” anyone?)
I quite like the idea of a new trilogy myself, I do believe it's a step in the right direction.

Likewise, I actually thought that Terminator 3 had the best ending out of all three Terminator movies. I liked that they finally accepted that the war was inevitable and trying to stop it was just futile.

Now that the war IS happening, Terminator 4, 5 and 6 have lots of potential as a new trilogy. I just hope it's dark and scary like Terminator 1. :)
Yeah, the nuclear decimation of a planet is often the best way to end a movie!
It ends with a bang at least….

… then again - so do most Hollywood sex films as well.
