We posted the news about Anton Yelchin getting the part of Kyle Reese in the upcoming Terminator 4 film awhile ago, but now more details about his part and other specific areas are starting to come out.
The previous films had eluded to the fact that Reese and grown-up John Connor were both best friends and around 30 years old. Well, with Yelchin being cast, he’ll be playing a Kyle Reese about half that age. So instead of best friends, there may be more of a father-son relationship.
Cinema Blend compares what they’ll have to that of Anakin Skywalker and Obi Wan Kenobi.
We read that Reese isn’t just a bit part, he’s going to be the central figure in this movie and the upcoming sequels.
The other huge tidbit is that the movie could actually end up connecting and following storyline from Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Those movies by the way, our source says “will also address the terminators and their evolution including the terminators of the first three films.� And somewhat surprising, there may actually be direct connections between the movie and the recently aired Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles TV series. Our source says, “they might connect the TV Series to the original three films as well but that depends if for one Fox decided to continue the series and if the people in charge want to have those plot lines cross over with this new trilogy.
Hopefully, as Cinema Blend suggests, this will definitely cause Fox to renew the series (which I sort of have heard is already a given).
I think it would be pretty silly of them to not cross the story lines of the movies with the new series. I don’t even know how you could make it work if you didn’t.
Very interesting. What is most interesting is their inclusion of the 3rd Terminator movie in their mythology discussion.
This is shaping up to be THE movie to see when it comes out… great cast and details , of what we know so far… I can hear the Terminator Theme playing already!!! ..oh wait thats my itunes… nevermind hehe.
After T3, I would have thought this series was dead, but it’s really shaping up to come back huge.

This is old news. CinemaBlend already reported on this back in March 21. Rehashing news are we?
First I’ve heard of it, so I passed it on…
Also, if you read the story, I linked to the CinemaBlend article you are talking about, so….what’s your point?
