T4 gets plot synopsis and new cast members revealed. With shooting now underway on the first of McG’s new Terminator franchise, titled Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, the official plot summary for the film has been revealed, as well as a couple of new names in the cast. The plot synopsis is as follows: “In the highly anticipated new installment of “The Terminator” film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.” The release also goes on to reveal that Charlotte Gainsbourg (The Science of Sleep) will play Kate Connor, John Connor’s wife who was previously played by Claire Danes; and that Jadagrace will a play a character named Star. EXTRAs: Back in 1984, O.J. Simpson was considered for the role of the Terminator, but the producers feared he was “too nice” to be taken seriously as a cold-blooded killer. How times have changed…
