Warner Brothers has set a May 22, 2009, release date for McG’s Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, starring Christian Bale, Variety reported.
That date, the beginning of the Memorial Day weekend, coincides with the opening of 20th Century Fox’s Ben Stiller sequel Night at the Museum II: Escape From the Smithsonian.
Warner will distribute the fourth Terminator movie in North America through a deal with Halcyon Co., which owns all franchise rights to the series.
The last film in the franchise, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, debuted in 2003 and grossed $150.4 million domestically.
T4 begins production in New Mexico for two months on May 5.
The storyline is being kept under tight wraps, but the plot is the first part of a planned three-picture arc that begins after Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust. A group of survivors led by John Connor (Bale) struggles to stop the machines. Sam Worthington (Avatar) is in talks to star as well.
Meanwhile, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions Group has acquired international distribution rights for Terminator Salvation from Halcyon, Variety reported.
