Nothing really new here, but if you\u2019re as curious to see where the franchise goes as I am, I might as well quote today\u2019s Entertainment Weekly<\/a><\/i>:<\/span><\/p>\n

The rumors have raged for the past few weeks but Hollywood Insider can now confirm that Christian Bale<\/a> is set to star in the Terminator reboot\u2026Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins<\/a><\/i>. No official word yet on what role Bale will play in the film, which McG is directing and Halcyon is producing for Warner Bros. One source tells HI that the story line is a big departure<\/a> from the originals<\/a> starring Arnold Schwarzenegger<\/a>. Details are being kept so close to the vest that only a very few people have read the last ten pages of the script. All we know is that Bale is one valuable commodity to those folks at Warners. (A studio spokesperson had no comment, other than to say that Salvation<\/i> isn\u2019t set yet, meaning it has not been officially greenlit.)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UPDATE: The Hollywood Reporter<\/a><\/i> now has the story too.<\/p>\n

DEC 3 UPDATE: And now Variety<\/a><\/i> has the story \u2014 along with the news that, yes, Bale will play John Connor in his 30s, and not a Terminator, as one earlier report<\/a> had it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
