Moritz Borman, producer, spoke with Empire Magazine about the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.  Borman has indeed confirmed that Arnold Schwarzenegger will NOT be in this film, however, he does reveal the possiblity of Schwarzenegger returning for the next two films.  Besides the fact that he's Governer of California, in the film, its a simple fact that his model is not yet built. 

“I can tell you this much — this is the story everybody has been waiting for. Namely, we’re in the future. The part of it where Arnold’s character has not yet been built but is on the drawing board."

“And in the next two episodes we’ll get to the point where time-travel is more in the foreground. It’s the war against the machines, the start of Skynet taking over the world.”

“It’s convenient that he hasn’t been built at this point of the story, as Arnold has more important things to do right now, but that doesn’t mean he might not re-appear later in the trilogy,” he said.

“He knows the material and is very supportive of what we’re doing. There might even be hints of his character in this one.”

Borman also spoke about the mysterious secondary character other then John Connor.  At the moment there is absolutly nothing on who this character is, however Borman touches on some casting rumors that he found interesting.

“Everyone is assuming there is a John Connor and a Terminator in the script. Connor is in there along with another figure, but who is that figure?” 

“I’ve heard everything from SYLVESTER STALLONE to VIN DIESEL, and other ones. I can tell you that Vin Diesel is not somebody we’re currently talking to.”

If your a regular New Film Dimension reader, you are aware my feelings about Terminator 4.  First off, I hate the title, secondly, i'm not happy with the choosen director McG.  I also don't like the sound of this mysterious "figure."  They are giving me the impression that they're making John Connor the secondary character, and thats retarded.

On the good side, is that apparently Christian Bale (Batman Begins) is signed on to play John Connor, however Borman refused to confirm that story. 

So take this interview as you will.  I'm under the opinion that this movie is going to be a huge disappointment.
