First Look at Terminator 4
It's Terminator, John, just not as you know it
Are you Sarah Connor? No? Then perhaps you'll be interested in the return of the Terminator. Yes, filming for the forthcoming fourth installment of the franchise - dubbed Terminator Salvation - recently got under way, and no sooner can you say 'da da dun da dun' than a teaser trailer has already surfaced online.
Starring Christian Bale - The Dark Knight himself - as John Connor, the next chapter is understood to be the first in a new trilogy, picking up the story in that pesky post-apocalyptic future that John's maw and James Cameron did their best to avoid. Also appearing in supporting roles will be original Batman director Tim Burton's muse Helena Bonham Carter and Common, no doubt out to prove wrong Samuel L Jackson's theory that hip-hop stars can't act.
But will Governor Arnie be, y'know, back? Not likely, as the Clinton News Record has just confirmed Roland Kickinger (an Austrian of course, who also happened to play Schwarzenegger in 2005's See Arnold Run) in the role of the relentless T800 cyborg - apparently dashing director MCG's reported hope to secure Josh Brolin (No Country For Old Men, The Goonies).
Whoever ends up in the final casting, you'd best savour the snippet below folks, because Terminator Salvation isn't due for a UK release until 5th June 2009. To keep up to speed there's a blog by some of the minds behind the movie here.
