Christian Bale is John Conner in T4

After much speculation and word that Christian Bale would not be playing John Conner but rather another character who awakes from a coma... the Hollywood Reporter is now saying that he IS John Conner. Good casting choice if you ask me. Anthon Yelchin is now in talks to star as Kyle Reese, John Conners father.

You will recall that the movie will be based further in the future and not around John Conner, instead it will apparently evolve around a tough guy mercenary type who wakes up from a coma, and has to try to survive in the war.
