So much for Judgment Day. The Terminator has been assigned a new target: May 22, 2009.
That's the date Warner Bros. has scheduled to unspool its heavily anticipated Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, per the trades.
The story, penned by T3 writers John Brancato and Michael Ferris, is said to be set in the postapocalyptic nightmare briefly alluded to in the first three movies after Skynet fomented a nuclear holocaust hoping to destroy its human makers.
Aside from Bale—who's pulling double hero duty as the Caped Crusader in this summer's Batman sequel, Dark Knight—actor Sam Worthington is also in talks to come aboard. As it happens, Worthington is in the midst of wrapping a key role in Cameron's sci-fi action-adventure epic Avatar, the self-anointed king of the world's first Hollywood film since 1997's Oscar-winning Titanic.
Shooting on Terminator Salvation is scheduled to kick off in New Mexico on May 5 and continue there for two months before moving on to other locales.
