T4-6 plotdetails and T:SCC tie-in?

The next Terminator Future War Trilogy

CinemaBlend.com and IGN.com both have some interesting stuff to offer about possible plot details on Terminator 4, or even 5 and 6. According to CinemaBlend, these details are concidered to be close to the truth, since their source has never failed them yet. IGN talked to Terminator 4 director McG about what the movie could entail. For easy refence we've copied their stories onto the TerminatorFiles, for all to centrally review...

CinemaBlend.com reports on T4 plot and T:SCC tie-in

Terminator fans have been in a mini-uproar since the news broke yesterday that Anton Yelchin had been hired to play a teenage version of Kyle Reese opposite Christian Bale as a 30-year-old John Connor in Terminator 4. At issue is the age difference, which would make Reese more like Connor's little brother than the best friends the franchise had previously set them up as.

Today though we've gotten some detailed information from one of our most reliable scoopers on just how this whole Reese/Connor thing is going to work. She's sent us spot on stuff before, but of course since we have to keep her identity anonymous consider everything here as just rumor. But our scooper confirms that Reese won't be some bit player in the movie. Instead, he "will be the central character in the films." Our source compares it to Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels, saying "Just like the Star Wars prequels when it was the relationship between Anakin and Obi Wan that drove the three films, that's the concept for the new Terminator films when its between the relationship of Kyle and John, who is really father and son but with the moral dilemma with John knowing what has to be done in order for him to be born."

So maybe there's a massive age difference between John Connor and Kyle Reese, but it sounds like Reese will still be a huge part of not only this movie, but any future Terminator movies.

Those movies by the way, our source says "will also address the terminators and their evolution including the terminators of the first three films." And somewhat surprising, there may actually be direct connections between the movie and the recently aired Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series. Our source says, "they might connect the TV Series to the original three films as well but that depends if for one Fox decided to continue the series and if the people in charge want to have those plot lines cross over with this new trilogy."

The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been great, and though there's been no official decision on it yet, all indications are that the series will eventually get a second season. Now maybe there's even more incentive for Fox to make that second season happen, if they can tie the TV series and the new movie together.

IGN talked to director McG about the upcoming pre/sequal film

"We're set to go May 5th," McG told IGN. "Just prepping it every day, bouncing back and forth between Mexico [where Terminator will be shot] and really bringing a credible, realistic cautionary look at a future 10 years ago."

The first three Terminator films showed glimpses of a post-apocalyptic future, but this will be the first chapter in the series to be firmly rooted in a time after the bombs have gone off and the machines have taken over. Explaining his approach to the film, McG said, "Naturally, the first three pictures were contemporary with Terminators coming back from the future and this picture does indeed take place 10 years from now. That's the new beginning. It's reminiscent and very much honors the mythology and I've listened very diligently to James Cameron and for that matter Jonathan Mostow, and we're going to respect that mythology, but begin again very much in the spirit of what [Christopher] Nolan did with Batman."

The TV spinoff of the Terminator franchise, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, just wrapped up its first season and the series and new film share a producer, James Middleton. McG said, "[Middleton is] helping us keep our timeline straight and our facts straight. And fortunately, not a lot of the storytelling in the television show is evident in this new installation. It's a bit of a sequel and a prequel because it tells the story of how we got there. But none the less, it's in the future so it's interesting and challenging."

None other than Batman himself, Christian Bale, is playing John Connor in the new Terminator. Asked how Bale came to be in the film, McG said, "[Bale is] the most prolific actor of his generation. I'm interested in becoming the best director that I can possibly be and that begins with surrounding yourself with the most talented people you can. I went over to England and met with him and talked about what it is that ultimately makes us human and why humanity is worth fighting for, if it is at all. We had a long discussion about that. It was engaging to the degree that we both agreed to move forward."
