• Will it be Josh Brolin vs. Christian Bale in Terminator 4?

  With the recent casting of Christian Bale as the emo-punk-turned-leader-of-the-resistance John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, the natural follow-up question arose: Who will play Bale's cyborg stalker in the fourth installment of the blockbuster sci-fi franchise? After all, this ain't no whiny pencil-neck Edward Furlong (or, if you prefer, T3's Nick Stahl) we're talking about; a robot capable of taking down Batman is gonna have to be seriously badass.

  With that in mind, Jason Coleman of 213.net prodded T4 director McG for some answers and got this reply:

  "It's very difficult to say because it's a decidedly masculine role and I think we're living in a time where a lot of actors are very effeminate and they're sort of skinny, heroin chic and there's really a masculine component to the role. And there's guys out there like Russell Crowe and Eric Bana, bring a good physicality, they do what they do, but I don't know if they're exactly right at the end of the day. (Smiles) Josh Brolin is a very exciting actor - we'll see."

  No "skinny" or "effeminate" actors? Guess that leaves Ryan Phillippe out of the running.

• George W to get the Oliver Stone treatment

  Political power-movie mogul and conspiracy theorist extraordinaire Oliver Stone has set his sights on a new candidate for his lens - George W. Bush.

  Indeed, the man behind JFK, Alexander and Nixon is in the process of securing funding for Bush, a movie about George W., with Josh Brolin attached to play the lead. Stone's next project was originally supposed to be Pinkville, about the massacre at My Lai, but that project was halted due to the writers' strike. Bush, however, can go forward because the script was complete before the strike (Pinkville still needs revisions).

  Reports are that Stone is trying to get production in gear by the spring so that the movie can hit theaters in time for the November election.

  We are very intrigued to see how Stone paints the POTUS.

• Brolin Indicates Goonies 2 Unlikely

  "Where does he get his information?" Josh Brolin asked ReelzChannel when told about Sean Astin's recent comments on a Goonies sequel calling it an "Absolute Certainty."

  Astin went on in an interview with ReelzChannel in October to talk about the possibilties of a cartoon and also another live action movie.

  "I think he wants it to happen so badly that he’s just telling people it’s happening," Brolin said with a laugh.

  Brolin was also less sure about the idea in general, feeling that the original is probably better left to stand on it's own. "It would be great. Or maybe not. It’s hard to say. It’s kind of great for what it is. From a business sense maybe it would be smart to do it again, but do you really want to do that to the original?

  "Then it becomes about, “I loved Goonies, but did you see the second one? That was just kind of a bummer. Brand turned out to be a homeless alcoholic and it was awful." (Laughs)

  Check out our full interview with Brolin for the Coen Brother's new flick, No Country For Old Men.
