Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is the upcoming fourth installment to the Terminator film series, scheduled to be released on May 22, 2009.[1] It is written by David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato, and Michael Ferris, directed by Joseph "McG" McGinty Nichol,[2] and stars Christian Bale as John Connor.[3] On February 12, 2008, Sam Worthington was announced as being cast to play Marcus; he was personally recommended to McG by Terminator creator James Cameron.[4] Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Stahl, and Claire Danes will not be returning.[5][6] Shooting of the film is expected to start on May 5, 2008 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[7]
The plot and storyline of the film takes place after the events of T3 around 2019 and focuses mainly on the war between humanity and Skynet in the post-apocalyptic world.[8] John Connor will continue to be the central character along with a new character named Marcus, who will have "equal presence."[9] However, other sources say that the film will instead focus on Marcus.[10] James Middleton, the associate producer of the film, stated that "It's really about the birth of a new hero,"[11] and McG said that it will also be about the development of the Arnold model T-800.[8]
On May 9, 2007, it was announced that rights to the Terminator series had passed hands from producers Andrew G. Vajna and Mario Kassar to the Halcyon Company, a privately funded company formed by entrepreneurs Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson. In the Variety article detailing the purchase, it states the fourth film will focus on a 30-year old John Connor in what the producers hope will be a new trilogy. Series creator James Cameron is currently not involved with the project;[12] however, he did encourage McG on the project.[8] Variety also mentioned that Warner Bros. has McG prepping the film.[13]
On July 19, 2007, it was revealed that the Terminator 4 project is currently in legal limbo due to a lawsuit between MGM and Halcyon subsidiary T Asset. According to the article, MGM has an exclusive window of 30 days to negotiate for distribution of the Terminator films. When negotiating for Terminator 4, Halcyon rejected their initial proposal, and MGM suspended negotiations. After the 30 days were over, MGM claimed that the period during which negotiations were suspended did not count and their exclusive period is still open. Halcyon is now asking a court for an injunction allowing them to approach other distributors.[14]
