Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (2009)

Yeah, the good terminator in T3 only accepts orders from the girl because she took the lead after John died. This would mean that sometime in the future (perhaps at the end of T4) john has to die.

Well, Christian Bale has signed on as John Conner for this movie (plus 2 more movies), and, if my theory is correct*, Conner will be killed off in the third of the new movies.


* The series will "end" with a reference to John sending Arnold back in time from T2

I have no hard evidence to support this, but I just have a feeling that this might be a way to "end" the new movies... Especially after reading that these are not just sequels, they're prequels...

[Papa Smurf]

or Prequels from the Future! But I would guess then that a prequel and a sequel cancel each other out to just create a quel.

on aint it cool news there is a rumour that john conner is actually dead and the resistance used a terminator body with his face to make it seem like he is alive to get the people to still fight

[Timothy]

Really? If so, I know Bale will do a terrific job playing "John"... Thanks for the info, BTW!

[diggidydave420]

I just wish they wouldn't do this film...even with batman...unless james cameron made the film...after the last one made from someone else...it doesn't seem right...the only thing good is at least conner isn't a kid...how many times do robots need to try and kill a kid before giving up

3; by then, executives will be screaming for a prequel-sequel to wash away the awful "battle of the sexes" garbage

I hope to God this isn't the real ending to the movie:

(As posted on AICN and CHUD)

"Alright so the main character is a cyborg named Marcus. For some background, Marcus was a criminal who was executed in 2003. He donated his body to Project Angel which was involved with SkyNet. They take his body and make a terminator out of him so he's a terminator skeleton but has living muscle/skin and a beating heart too. At the end of the movie John Connor is fighting a T800 model 101 and loses. He dies and the top resistance people come up with a plan to help the resistance keep fighting on. The resistance feels that it's important to keep the image or idea that John Connor is still alive so the resistance keeps going. So they rip off Marcus' skin and put John Connor's on the skeleton so now Marcus is John Connor."
