Christian Bale
Though it was assumed that Christian Bale was likely onboard for all three new Terminator films, making the new trilogy, it has only just been confirmed today.
Christian Bale Confirmed for Three Terminators
The BBC has confirmed that Christian Bale has signed at least some sort of document tying him to the entire Terminator trilogy as John Connor.
The Welsh-born star, who is soon to be seen in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, has already started shooting the first of those films, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
"He's really an actor's actor, so we're very proud," said Victor Kubicek of film company Halcyon.
Charlie's Angels director McG is directing the new film, which is due to be released on 22 May 2009.
"Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky," Kubicek told the BBC at the Cannes Film Festival.
"But with Batman he's already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren't sure he'd respond."
Luckily, said Kubicek's business partner Derek Anderson, "he read the script and he loved it, so he's signed on for all three."
