If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, make sure you tune in to Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles on Fox Mondays. I’ve been loving Terminator’s new TV debut so much that I’d nearly forgotten there was still a plan floating around out there somewhere to make another movie. A movie directed by McG, unfortunately.

Terminator’s new director recently spoke with a site called the213 about the project, and dropped hints about who he plans to hire to play the new movie Terminator. Sadly, it won’t be Summer Glau. Instead, McG thinks “Josh Brolin is a very exciting actor.” He’s right, he is. The guy runs away with No Country for Old Men, and it’s surprising that he hasn’t gotten as much awards attention as his co-star Javier Bardem. Brolin’s great… but is he a Terminator?

When did we get so far away from Terminators as heavily-muscled, hulking body builders? Normally I’m all for hiring great actors, but in this case I think I’d rather see them grab someone who can put on a proper gun show than a guy who ought to be winning Oscars. Brolin’s in nice shape, but he’s hardly Arnold Schwarzenegger. They need Vin Diesel, or if they can’t get him, this is one of those rare instances when I’d be happy to see them go after some random wrestler. Do they really need a great actor? The guy’s just playing a robot after all. It’s not that hard. If Arnold can do it, just about anyone can pull it off. They already have Christian Bale as John Connor. He’s fantastic. Now give us a big, hulking, idiot as the movie’s killer robot. Preferably one who doesn’t speak very good English and sports a nice flattop. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
