For those of you who'd rather go into the cinema knowing nothing about Terminator 4 other than the fact that the Governor of California probably won't be starring in it, please stop reading now.

Are some of you still here? Good, 'cause we've got some interesting info for you.

As we already know, Christian Bale has signed on to play John Connor, which means that the character is the focus of the new trilogy, right? Wrong. Apparently our star is some chap called Marcus, who encounters Connor during his travels through a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Article continues below

Whether Marcus is a Terminator or a survivor, we haven't been told. But we'd lay good money on him being the type of chap that can't be bargained with, can't be reasoned with, doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. Who absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. You know, those fellows.

But that's only the tip of the cyborg-iceberg, head over to chud to read the rest and tell 'em TF sent you.

UPDATE:

If you read our original Terminator story (dated 19 December, calender fans), you'll be pleased to hear that James Middleton, associate producer on the fourth Terminator flick, has been talking to SCI FI Wire, pretty much confirming all of the above (apart from the name 'Marcus' and who Bale will be playing).

Reading between the lines, we're ready to start a new rumour. Is Christian Bale playing John Connor, as initially thought, or a Terminator? Someone's got to be one, surely?

Go to SCI FI Wire to read the full story, which is full of quotes.
