With the news that
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed by FOX for a second season, fans can rest easy and think about other things. Like
Terminator 4. The fourth installment in the
Terminator franchise, which stars Christian Bale as a grown John Connor, has begun filming (just today, in fact) and the news keeps pouring in. Earlier this week, Variety reported that Terminator 4 (or, as it is properly being called “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins”) will be the first in the series to be rated PG-13. In other news, rapper and sometimes actor Common has been cast as a rebel freedom fighter, and there are rumors that Josh Brolin (
No Country for Old Men) has been tapped to play the “terminator” role in Terminator Salvation.

PG-13 is weak. How much more can American's whine about swearing or tobacco use?
A PG-13 Terminator?
At first, this rating bothered me as I'm sure it will bother fans. But, the more I considered it, the more it makes sense. Violence standards have regressed in the MPAA – movies can get away with all sorts of action in PG-13 films. So, the action in Terminator 4 won't suffer, and since sex is not a big part of the Terminator franchise, the only thing that will truly be effected is the amount of profanity. I can live with that.
Common, the actor
Common has appeared in all sorts of movies lately, including Smokin' Aces and American Gangster. He's got a good look, and has been solid in everything I've seen him in. Those unfamiliar with Common might be a little put off by his casting, but I'd take a wait and see approach.
Josh Brolin, the terminator
This is still a rumor at this point, and my guess is that it will stay this way. FOX is keeping the Terminator casting very secret, and even though Josh Brolin seems like a good idea, I think there may be some glaring scheduling complications – Brolin is currently filming the lead role in Oliver Stone's George W. Bush biopic.
Would Josh Brolin be a good terminator?
