Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins

This post is mainly for the interest of my Dad.

You did read the title correct. A new terminator movie has begun filming and is slated for a 2009 release. To add to this great news... it must have been meant to be because the exact release date right now is May 22, 2009. And yes... the plot thickens. There is some more good news other than the fact that it is releasing on my birthday, thats right, Becca has agreed to see it based on the fact that Christian Bale is going to play John Connor. What more can I add to this incredible turn of good fortune? Oh thats right, its going to be a trilogy!

Here is an excerpt from IGN.com on where this movie will take place in the Terminator timeline.

"Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind."
