Christian Bale plays John Connor this time around in the upcoming Terminator film. According to Warner Bros, the future has been altered slightly by the apperance of a new character, Marcus Wright (played by Sam Worthington), who is supposedly a de-commissioned Terminator. His last memory is of being on death row.
Connor (Bale), cannot decide whether this stranger has been sent from the future or rescued from the past, but as Skynet prepare their final onslaught to humankind, Connor and Wright both embark on a journey into the heart of their operations, where they find out a terrible secret that could lead to the entire annihilation of mankind.
Also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Bryce Dallas Howard as Kate Connor (John's wife) and Roland Kickinger as the prototype T-800 (the new Terminator).
Unfortunately their will be no Arnold Schwarzenegger this time round!!
It will be released in North America on the 22nd May 2009, so probably a late spring/early summer release for over here in the UK.
It's also been confirmed the Helena Bonham Carter will be taking part in a small cameo appearance in the film as a character called Serena.
It's going to be a stand alone film, abandoning the formula of the first trilogy (don't know how that will work though!).
It will be the beginning of a new trilogy of Terminator films, with Bale signing on as Connor for the next 2 sequels to Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
Sounds good, lets hope it actually is good.
