BBC News is reporting that Christian Bale is set to play rebel leader John Connor for three sequels to the Terminator franchise!

“Christian was our first choice and he’s a big fan of The Terminator, so we’re very lucky,” Kubicek told the BBC at the Cannes Film Festival.

“But with Batman he’s already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren’t sure he’d respond.”

Luckily, said Kubicek’s business partner Derek Anderson, “he read the script and he loved it, so he’s signed on for all three.”

In perhaps a throwaway quote, there was a non-denial about Arnold reprising his role as a Terminator.

The producers would not reveal whether Arnold Schwarzenegger would reprise his role as the Terminator. Nor would they discuss character names or plot details.

Good news for Terminator fans I think.

According to comingsoon.net rapper/actor Common has joined the cast of Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. He will reportedly play a resistance fighter in John Connor’s inner circle. Connor will be played by Christian Bale.

According to Variety the fourth installment of the Terminator franchise, which will not have anything to do with Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, is shooting to have a more kid-friendly flick.

“Heavy Metal”

“Heavy Metal” is a good turning point for the Sarah Connor Chronicles…if only that Emo-John is finally gone. I say finally after only 3 episodes have passed, but it was already enough. There is also actually a real point to the developing story and some good action sequences to boot. Is it a good episode? I wouldn’t go that far, but it is a step up to average.

She points out one specific person, named Andy Goode, who was working with Miles. Is this going to be the crutch? When in doubt go to Miles’ wife?
