Those boys at CHUD, or more specifically the very frottage-able Devin Faraci, has posted a bunch of new details from "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins," the upcoming fourth film and kick-off of a new trilogy of Terminator films.

Most interesting is that John Connor (Christian Bale) is NOT the main character in the fourth film, but rather will have a more sizable role in the fifth movie.

Instead the main character is Marcus, a Riddick-esque guy who was 'put out of commission' before the nuclear holocaust and wakes up on post-apocalyptic earth around 15 years before the future shown in the original "Terminator".

No actor has yet been cast in the role but they will be required for all three films and will be the 'star' of the new trilogy which is apparently getting good buzz from those who've read the script and all call it epic in scope and great in terms of action.

That action includes battles with the rubber-skinned T-600 terminators, the differences between the humans and cyborgs are said to play a big part in the story, whilst the character of Reese (Michael Biehn in the original film) has a scene with Connor.

Umm I don't know if another Terminator is needed..

This could come out extremely good, or really lame. I'm hoping it's the former...

I hope it comes out good but i just don't want another one to come out.

all the scenes without bale will suck and considering how little he is in the movie it will suck

direct to dvd anyone?

I will be seeing it. Christian Bale is a God. Everything he touches turns to gold.

I'll see it for sure, love Terminator I and II (III is forgettable cause I can't stand Claire Danes and that guy who played John). Christian Bale isn't exactly one of my fav actors, but at least he'll make a handsome John I can't wait until the Sarah Connor Chronicles hits TV either, I saw the Pilot episode and it's great.
