It’s a really interesting time in the franchise because it’s where all the fans have always wanted the franchise to go, and it hasn’t to date, which is the post-apocalyptic world. It’s after judgment day. So because we’re in a different time in the mythology, it introduces a whole new set of circumstances and characters.
That’s just one taste of the chat. They talk about budget (north of $150M!), they talk about the new villains (sorta), and they also reveal that Arnold Schwarzenegger may end up appearing in a very small cameo role! That is, if he’s able to appear at all. No promises, but they sound hopeful.
With Bale on board, I think it brings a whole new level of credibility to the project, beyond having McG as director. Bale generally does good movies, so hopefully… at least on a script level… T4 will be good and take the franchise to the next, post judgment day level. I sure hope so!
