Spoiled Sport

It's been an interesting 24 hours for the filmmakers behind Terminator 4...

It started out as nothing but a unconfirmed Internet rumor by the folks at AICN yesterday--and as I read the story...I thought OK I'm gonna avoid this one all together. In the time since the chatter first began, the events have taken a turn

If the info added by CHUD this morning proves correct then these two posts serve to effectively spoil the entire ending of the sequel due out next May... And now director McG responds

STOP READING RIGHT NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW ANY POSSIBLE MAJOR SPOILERS FOR T4!!! OTHERWISE PROCEED-YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!

The AICN report claims that the character of Marcus (Sam Worthington, pictured) is a criminal who was executed in 2003 and donated his body to Project Angel which was involved with SkyNet. They use his body and make a Terminator out of him.

The end of the film has John Connor (Christian Bale) fighting a T800 model 101, loses and dies.

The others in the resistance feel it's important to keep up the notion that John Connor is still alive so they take off Marcus' skin and put John Connor's on the skeleton so now Marcus is John Connor.

CHUD added- " I can't confirm that last part completely, but it gibes with everything I have heard from multiple sources. I wasn't sure if that aspect was changing after the writer's strike - Connor's role has been beefed up considerably since I first got my information - but assuming that Moriarty's source is talking about the latest drafts (and be aware that he could be talking about the same drafts I was talking about six or seven months ago, which may be very outdated at this point), this spoiler is right on the money."

McG says on his T-Blog: "There are only three people who know the ending. The unknown future rolls toward us..."

Diversionary spin or proof the rumour is wrong? I hope it turns out to be a bogus one cause on paper it sounds lame

Production is underway in New Mexico.
