As production starts this week on Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, the next installment in the SF franchise, producers at the Halcyon Co. said they are aiming at a PG-13 rating for the Warner Brothers movie, which is set for release on May 22, 2009, Variety reported.
The Terminator series is one of the highest-grossing R-rated franchises of all time, with the first three films having grossed more than $1.03 billion worldwide. But Halcyon producers thought it was time to broaden the upcoming fourth film's audience base, and they believe the PG-13 won't compromise the series' gritty vision.
A family-friendly rating opens many doors, including a Terminator Salvation licensing deal for action figures with Playmates Toys.
Halcyon has already launched Halcyon Games to create a Terminator game for release at the same time as the movie.
Set in post-apocalyptic 2029, the movie centers on an adult John Connor, played by Christian Bale, who leads the war to save humanity from the killing machines.

Scarecrow wrote:Back on topic... I do hope a young Kyle Reese shows up in this one or the next (there's a sequel already planned am I correct?). They can end the whole saga with Reese going through the portal to 1984. In fact, the way I see it, thats the only way they CAN end this.
And I really need to get my hands on the SCC first season. I saw the first two episodes but because of my work schedule, I work during the time its on and I'm not up to date with current things like TiVo or whatever the crap thats stuff is called now. I really don't watch TV a lot but this was really the first show I felt I could get into since Highlander: The Series.

Christian Bale, who plays a grown-up John Connor in the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, told reporters that he hesitated to take a pivotal role in another major SF franchise after playing Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins and the upcoming sequel, The Dark Knight.
"My feeling is that, you know, we have an opportunity and a responsibility" to such franchises, Bale said in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 29 to promote Dark Knight.
Bale added: "There's no point in making it if we don't achieve this: ... Reinventing that mythology, and there's a great deal of potential for that, and that is what I'm attempting to do. Anything less than that would be us failing."
Bale plays the iconic hero of the human revolution in Terminator Salvation, which attempts to reboot the franchise in the first of three films set after the nuclear holocaust of Judgment Day.
