After rumours that Christian Bale would play either John Connor or the Terminator in the fourth film of the franchise, CHUD.com is reporting that Bale will play a completely new character.

Due for release in June of 2009, no real casting has been set in stone. Warner Bros. will release the film, with McG directing. The running title is “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.”

According to IMDb, this will be the basic plotline: “After the drastic effects of Terminator 3, the story continues as John Connor and soon to be wife Kate Brewster realize they must create a resistance organization with Earth’s remaining survivors against the army of robots slowly being built up by Skynet. As they are building this resistance, one survivor happens to be a traitor in disguise, and has a secret that nobody would ever come to suspect.”

John Connor was played by Nick Stahl in the previous “Terminator” instalment.
