Josh Brolin to replace Arnie as Terminator?

Actor Josh Brolin is rumoured to replace Arnold Schwarzenegger in his iconic role as the Terminator in the franchises fourth film.
According to Comingsoon.net the 'No Country for Old Men' actor, who will also be playing American President George Bush in 'W' the biopic about his life, will play the lead in 'Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins'.
Christian Bale will also star in the film as John Connor.Shooting on the project, estimated to cost about $150 million, began this week in New Mexico.
However according to Reuters there are concerns that there could be an actors strike in July.
Following the 100-day screenwriters strike that ended in February, many studios have avoided launching new productions before the Screen Actors Guild contract expires on 30 June, a date being treated as a facto strike deadline.
Steven Spielberg called off an April start to his film about the trial of the 1968 anti-war activists 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' but Michael Bay is still hopeful for an early June start for a sequel to his 'Transformers'.
'Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins' is due for release in May 2009.
