From moviehole.net -

I’ve been hearing this for the past couple of months too, but brushed it off assuming it’s either Furlong himself spreading the rumours and/or his new wife – who’s aware the mortgage payment is due – or a 200-pound “Terminator 2” fan that loathes casting switcheroo’s.

But maybe, just maybe, there is something to it and with whispers that Nick Stahl isn’t keen on returning to the role, who else would you consider than Furlong? He is, after all, the original whiny chum-of-cyborg. And with Schwarzenegger gone, you’re gonna want some link to the original series aren’t you? (though, in my opinion, I’d go for Michael Biehn – it’s time we caught up with Kyle Reese again; and don’t give me the ‘but he’s dead’ line).

Someone – again, this could be fuckin’ Furlong himself - tells Aint it Cool that they’ve checked in with Edward Furlong’s agent and the word is : Furlong is back as John Connor for “Terminator 4”.

Firstly, I didn’t know it was a sure-thing that Connor was going to be in the new “Terminator”? I got the impression that it was either going to concentrate on a new bunch of characters being hunted down by a new metal-skulled fiend, or, fix on some of the soldiers that are fighting the good fight in the future. Either way, we’ve been told that “T4” will be the start of a new trilogy. That Schwarzenegger will not be a part of it. And that it’ll probably be nowhere near as good as the original trilogy and as a consequence, fans will demand the series renamed to “Killer Robots” for DVD.

So what do you guys think? Does Furlong deserve a second chance at playing nice with the "Terminator" crowd? or should the producers just cut their losses and cast the skinny chump from "Sarah Connor Chronicles" in the part?
