Our aul' mucker Devin at CHUD.com has uncovered a few tidbits about the upcoming **Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins **(otherwise known as T4 to you and me but not to be confused with that show). And the big news is that they may have hired a big star for a very small role (minor spoilers follow).
It seems that John Connor, aka Christian Bale, has hardly any role at all in the film, taking a bigger part in the second of three planned films (oh god, a trilogy). The lead character is the yet-to-be-cast Marcus, a Riddick-like figure who was "put out of commission" before T3's holocaust and awakens in about 2015 to discover a radiation-ravaged, machine-ridden world. There he meets Connor and learns about his attempts to build a utopian human society as well as running the human resistance.
There's also a female pilot called Blair, holding the ladies' end up, and a cameo from Reese alongside John Connor, and a whole heap of action. More essentially, there's a whole heap of big machine vs. human action.
For more on all of this, and one very intriguing but possibly totally spoilerific hint at the plot, head on over to CHUD and read all about it. Exciting stuff, eh? Or nay?
