Terminator is back for a fourth round :: Film & TV News :: Articles

What a country we live in. The land of the free and the home of the brave. A place where one man can go from body builder, to movie action hero, to governor of his own state. American truly is a land of great opportunity!

However, with opportunity comes great responsibility. That is why we regret to inform you that the Governor of California will not be appearing in the next Terminator movie, scheduled for release on May 22, 2009. It's understandable, though. What would the rest of the world think of the state—not to mention, the American people—if Schwarzenegger agreed to play a futuristic murderous robot? They might begin to question our judgment when we elect officials! They might begin to roll their eyes at the entire democratic system, upon which our fine country is based!

Ahem.

Regardless of what the rest of the world opines in response to the votes the citizens of the country cast, ol' Arnie has officially passed on reprising his role in Terminator 4, and will reportedly not show his face even for a bit cameo. However, it has been confirmed that Christian Bale (a true hottie with a body in the opinion of this writer) will be appearing in the movie as a futuristic John Connor, replacing Edward Furlong in the role.

Also confirmed to be appearing is Sam Worthington, who will play a character apparently named Marcus, likely one of the survivors of the nuclear war. McG, former producer of The OC (among other, less awesome shows), is set to direct.

Gear up for the movie by tuning in to CSPAN to watch Schwarzenegger work his day job, or merely watch this video from Mad TV:
