Robert Patrick Maybe Back in Chronicles, Arnold Out of T4

Rumor is abrewing that Robert Patrick, who played the unstoppable killer Terminator the T-1000 in “T2″, might make a return to John Connor hunting on the small screen by guest starring in an episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The news comes courtesy of “consulting producer” James Middleton, who said this about Patrick’s possible return to the small screen:

“We absolutely thought about that,” says Middleton. “We love Robert Patrick. We studied his performance as a Terminator and think he’s a fantastic actor and we have talked about him a lot. We don’t know what we have for him, but love him as an actor. We have talked about having echoes of the films in a lot of ways, including actors from previous movies.”

And what about Arnold Schwarzenegger possibly returning for “T4″, if even in a cameo? Apparently that’s a done deal — and it’s bad. Plus, Middleton offers up a new possibility: “T4″ would have John Connor in it, but John would NOT be the main hero, and instead a NEW hero would be introduced to carry the film!

“It would include John Connor and it would also include a brand new hero for the movie,” says Middleton. “We envision this T4 would be the beginning of a new trilogy. We had talked about having Arnold doing a cameo and we’ve never been at a point where that could happen. There’s a lot of momentum to getting financing for the movie now that there are new owners for the franchise and I’m sure we’ll discuss it then.”

Hmm, I don’t know how I feel about this, to honestly tell you…
