Script Work and New Casting For Fourth 'Terminator'

Rumors of a new title have been circulating the web, but in a new press release Warner Bros. is still calling the new Terminator sequel, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. With production set to begin in early may, more casting news has come in this evening. You can find it all inside.

Anton Yelchin is in negotiations to star as post-apocalyptic warrior Kyle Reese in director McG's "Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins."

With production scheduled to start in early May, Paul Haggis also has been in talks about coming on board to work on the sequel's script.

Yelchin will play a teen version of Reese, the man who fathered world savior John Connor in the original "Terminator" film.

Christian Bale will play John Connor in the time-traveling third sequel to the 1984 sci-fi action film, produced by the Halcyon Co. and set for a Warner Bros. release in summer 2009.

Reese, one of the children who survived a machine-driven nuclear holocaust, befriends Marcus (Sam Worthington), an early edition of the Terminator cyborg played in previous films by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

In "Salvation," the character is a young version of the one played by Michael Biehn, who traveled back in time in the original to impregnate Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) and father the world's future savior.

The film picks up with their son (Bale), now in his 30s, fighting desperately to save a decimated civilization against machines that have taken control. It's unclear if the father and child reunion is only a cyborg motion away in the new film.

Halcyon's Victor Kubicek and Derek Anderson are producing with Moritz Borman. David Campbell Wilson, John Brancato and Michael Ferris wrote the screenplay. Principal photography is set to begin in early May.

Yelchin ("Charlie Bartlett") will next be seen as Chekov in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" for Paramount. He is repped by CAA and attorney David Weber.

I'v read on a few sites, where it's commented that Kyle Reese befriending the Cyborg Marcus seems a bit out of character. I just wanted to note that I think this article is very spoilerish, concidering that the information given in the article about the film is new info about the film. Remember, Marcus was supposed to have a *big secret* that's to be revealed during a twist ending. It could be that Marcus turning out to be a cyborg is the twist (With the way they've talked about the *twist*, how can anyone have not predicted this?). Perhaps Reese's hatred for the Terminators is because of Marcus and his role in this new trilogy??? Maybe, young Reese didn't know that Marcus was a machine... I also want to add that I like the idea of the son being in his 30's and the father in his teens. F-ed up!

Great... They casted Charlie Bartlett as Kyle Reese... right... One of the most annoying young actors around is going to play one of the most kick-ass characters in one of the most popular film franchises in sinema history... That's just great!
