Hey folk Harry here. Just got off the phone with an extremely trusted source who has never been wrong before. he revealed exclusively to AICN that in the upcoming McG reboot, TERMINATOR SALVATION: The Future Begins, that they have cast CHRISTIAN BALE as none other than JOHN CONNER. you folks know what that means...
THIS IS GOING TO KICK ***!!!
Hey folks, Harry here again... The above was posted by AICN's Behind-The-Scenes God, RoRo - as Time-Warner knocked out my internet this morning in a widespread pre-emptive strike to attempt to silence the news that Bruce Wayne was John Conner... But I want y'all to think about this for a second. McG has done more than just CHARLIE'S ANGELS - his film WE ARE MARSHALL was a very solid and tonally realistic film. Personally - I love what McG did with CHARLIE'S ANGELS - it was fun, kinetic and exactly what that version of CHARLIE'S ANGELS should be. Then there's the fact that he cast the T-1000 in WE ARE MARSHALL - which means, probably, he's a fan of T2 - or just has the coolness to just recognize that Robert Patrick is the ****. Either way - He's managed to cast Christian Bale in TERMINATOR SALVATION - and that's pretty huge.
We know Bale takes his **** seriously. And if you saw 3:10 TO YUMA... just imagine him coming out of his mountain and beginning the process of taking out SKYNET. With Bale as Conner - that means that we have a great chance that McG is pulling a chair up and will deliver. It all depends on that script... it is obvious we're dealing now with an adult, GREAT MILITARY LEADER storyline ... How he got the remnants of civilization together, trained them, armed them and began a guerilla war that eventually, we hope, brings down SKYNET.
I for one am anxious as hell to see this done right. Let's hope.
I know that Terminator 3 definitely wasn't the best in the series but wasn't that bad. I agree with most who said it was a bit over the top and not as serious as T1 and T2; theres something about T2 that makes it stand above so high. It was a perfect blend of action with over the top moments and the perfect blend of a unique story with some pretty good twists along the way.
I'm hoping the tone is much much darker than T3. The machines have taken over, people should be in war and despair.
About the person playing the Terminator himself, it should definitely be John Cena. The Rock is a great actor, however Cena has that blank look on him, his poor acting skills could make him the best choice for this role, presuming that this model of the robot is a silent killing machine. We wouldn't have to hear to much from Cena at all.
