James Middleton, an associate producer on the upcoming fourth Terminator film, told SCI FI Wire that California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will definitely not be in the movie or any of the contemplated sequels in what is expected to be a new trilogy of films.
Middleton also disputed earlier reports about the role of John Connor, saying that the character will definitely be central in the film, titled
Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Middleton said that the movie will also introduce a key new character.
"It's post-apocalyptic," Middleton said in an interview.
