Terminator 4 details

While the title doesn’t seem to be getting any better, shooting has begun on McG’s TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS in the scorched wasteland of New Mexico. Warner Bros. sent along an official press release, and while there isn’t much that wasn’t already known or speculated, it does elucidate further on the plot and specific roles.

In the highly anticipated new installment of The TERMINATOR film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

The film also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Common as Barnes, and Jadagrace as Star.
TERMINATOR SALVATION: THE FUTURE BEGINS marks the latest installment of the multi-billion dollar Terminator franchise and will be the first film in a new Terminator trilogy. The film is scheduled for a North American theatrical release May 22, 2009.
