Christian Bale to star in 'Terminator'

The rumors have raged for the past few weeks but Hollywood Insider can now confirm that Christian Bale is set to star in the Terminator reboot...Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. No official word yet on what role Bale will play in the film, which McG is directing and Halycon is producing for Warner Bros. One source tells HI that the story line is a big departure from the originals starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Details are being kept so close to the vest that only a very few people have read the last ten pages of the script. All we know is that Bale is one valuable commodity to those folks at Warners. (A studio spokesperson had no comment, other than to say that Salvation isn't set yet, meaning it has not been officially greenlit.)

I'm still not sure why Terminator needs to be "rebooted" but then again I'm not a studio exec.

If (God forbid) it is a reboot, then I'm betting 10 to one Bale will either be Connor or Kyle Reese.

"The Terminator" doesn't need a "reboot". My bet is that the writer is just using the wrong term in trying to describe the project. "T3" was only four years ago, and it was a big hit. "T4" offers a rare opportunity to continue that which came before it, but still offer the audience something fresh and exciting.

I'm hoping that it's going to be the actual War of the Future - with Bale as a fighter. I would like Stahl to be John again but he might not want the part. We'll find out more - and with luck it is a misprint/ goof.

Because Hollywood is running out of ideas. I still think it's just a matter of time until we have a big screen version of Battlestar Galactica

No doubt - but whose version? Or a brand new one totally dissimilar to either?
