Leeker ::: Common to Star in Upcoming ' Terminator' Film

Common acting career is moving faster than his Rap career and does not appear to be slowing down. He has signed on to co-star in the " Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins" for Halcyon Pictures.

The film is centered around John Connors(Bale), now in his 30's, who is leading what is left of the human resistance against the machines. Our favorite Rapper turned act, "will play a freedom fighter and member of Connors inner circle" as reported by variety.

The film will be directed by television action producer/Director McG. The script comes to us by way of, John D. Brancato & Michael Ferris and Paul Haggis.

If the Sarah Connor Chronicles are any indication to how the (Directors, producers) current mind set is towards looking at the lives of these characters. I think with the extra creative room of major motion pictures, we will see a story that brings out the best in script.

With Dan Lin, Mortiz Borman, Vctor Kubicek, Jeff Silver, Derek Anderson, and Jeanne Allgood producing the film, we should expect this may 2009 release to be a blockbuster heading off next summers major action films as Iron Man has for this summer.

Who is willing to bank on it?
