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.

Nice, a great John Connor...

Thanks Falcon - awesome news!

Christian Bale - OUTSTANDING ACTOR (him and Robert Downey Jr are two of my very favorites).

And hey, here's a praise for director McG (Joseph McGinty Nichol) - I rented the HD-DVD of his WE ARE MARSHALL a few months back, and that was a great (sports) film, with excellent direction under McG.

I just love how many of the sports-related, real-life dramatic films are so well-made and worth re-watching. (Hoosiers, Rudy, Glory Road, Miracle, Invincible, 61, Raging Bull etc).

Good news indeed.

This could actually make me interested in new Terminator movies.

Awesome! No more wimpy John Connor. Bale will bring us back to the tough John we saw a glimpse of in Terminator 2 (the future scene).

too soon for me to get exited about this one
