Christian Bale (The Dark Knight, Batman Begins) has been cast as John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, says Ain’t It Cool News.
McG is directing the summer 2009 release, which has an early 2008 production start and seeks to reinvent the cyborg saga with a storyline to be told over a three-movie span. Warner Bros. will distribute domestically.
The screenplay was written by Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines duo John Brancato and Michael Ferris.
The film is set in the future, in a full-scale war between Skynet and humankind.
