 UPDATE: Variety has confirmed the below report that Bale will play John Connor, although no further info about the part was given. The article also (finally) officially confirms McG as director.
Nov. 30, 2007 -- Recent online rumors place fanboy fave Christian Bale in another major franchise, namely the refreshed TERMINATOR series, which is launching a hypothetical new trilogy with the abominably titled TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS, from universally acclaimed director McG.
However, there seemed to be some question as to whether Bale would play postapocalyptic hero John Connor, an advanced UK model of Terminator, or a completely new character to the franchise.
CHUD has cast some light on the specifics: Bale is apparently playing Connor, although it is essentially a "supporting role" and that the new flick features a different character on the front lines, with Connor more of a metal-masher of legend. The theory is that this would require less of a time commitment from Bale, but still puts a genre-friendly face on the man we've been hearing so much about since Reese bopped back through time almost a quarter-century ago (or from now -- damn chronal paradoxes!).
Extra Tidbit:
Bale is reportedly in some other movie about a costumed hero.

Big bucks pay day.
Bale isn't stupid is he? Minimal days on the lot for maximum money, because the rest of the cast will be low cost and low rent. |

NO NO NO NO NO!!!
Bale CAN'T get labeled into the action star category, it'll take so much credibility and awesomeness out of Batman Begins and TDK!
And if he WANTS to go there, if he really HAS to do the action thing...
...T4!?!?!? |

I think it's a really good idea. I mean, this franchise really hasn't had all that good of actors in it. |

NO NEED FOR MORE TERMINATORS
Terminator was groundbreaking, T2 set new standards in film and T3 was a worthy conclusion to the trilogy - leave it alone. I love Bale, but there's no need for more films. It's bad enough that the franchise is spawning a new TV series. |

REMEMBER THOUGH...
Bale did do Reign of Fire!?
But seems like he's pulling a Hale Berry, doesn't it?
They should just call it
Terminator: Insert cheesy title here and then we'll change it when it gets flamed online. |

Wait...I'm confused...McG is directing, the guys who wrote Catwoman are writing...but Christian Bale is actually going to agree to star in it?...I think that Christian Bale is awesome, but for terminator 4? No. No thanks. I'm still going to remain somewhat open to the slight possibility of this movie NOT sucking tremendously, but honestly, I agree with reddwarffan in saying that I don't think Bale, despite his awesomeness, can save this flick. |

HASTA LA BATMAN, BABY
isn't McG's name being attached to this pretty much a deathknell? Something to keep an eye on. Please change the title though, it's a bit wordy if you ask me.
T2 lore bastardized or not at least we still have the soundtrack, not much will top that. |
