Terminator 4 Terminated?

Terminator 4

Probably not, is my guess. There is a rumor circulating the internet that someone overheard someone else saying that they have more free time now that Terminator 4 has shut down. This flick was set to star Sam Worthington and Christian Bale as crusaders for the human race battling the evil forces of SkyNet in the future. The kind of Terminator movie only alluded to in the past franchises. So any truth to the rumor?

I would think that this is untrue. For one, it has McG on to direct, and while I don’t like McG, he makes money. It has Christian Bale attached – anything he is in will get people excited. Seriously, Christian Bale in a Terminator movie. That’s a gold mine. Next up, the source. Some guy who hear someone say something and then told someone. That’s about as unreliable as it gets.

We’ll look into this for you guys and find out if the Terminator just got terminated. Stay tuned.

I can only think that it may have something to do with a possible SAG strike. I'm not too informed on Industry news as I'd like. But wasn't it true that productions had to wrap by the beginning of the summer once contract negotiations start?

About McG, that sucks if that was the reason they greenlit this project. If Michael Bay is "awesome". McG is the frat guy that yells "sweet" all the time and uses his MP3 playlist while editing. His stuff looks cool but not much ideas behind it. I'd rather have anyone else direct. Chris Nolan or Terry Gilliam might have more brains to do James Cameron justice.

SAG negotiations have begun, that could be possible. Productions go into delay and off-set starts alllllllll the time. The guy could very well have 2-4 weeks of free time if one thing gets bumped. We dont know who he was or what he did, but if he's someone who does stage work, a change in shooting schedule could completely alter his schedule by weeks.

I'm 99% percent sure this rumor is BS.
If its true it should come out in the press (Variety) this week.

And the SAG talks are ongoing a film like this wouldn't slow down or even shut down when the possiblities are strong that this upcoming strike won't happen.
