Josh Brolin turned down TERMINATOR SALVATION
The much wanted Josh Brolin has told MTV that he did indeed turn down a role in the upcoming Warner Bros. revival of the TERMINATOR franchise because he ultimately felt "it didn't feel right".McG boastingly told the world earlier in the year that he was going after Brolin who at that point had just come off an incredible 2007 and had just seen himself cast as George W. Bush in Oliver Stone's W. In the end, Brolin turned WB down and Sam Worthington instead took the role of Marcus.

Yeah. I talked to Christian for a couple hours, Brolin told MTV. I really liked the script though I hear thats not what they filmed. The one I read was very interesting and dark. Ultimately though I didnt think it felt right.Securing Brolin would have been a massive coup for McG who already at that point had the massive A-lister of Christian Bale on his side and in great timing is now coming off one of the biggest movies of all time with THE DARK KNIGHT. Brolin in the coming weeks with have to decide if another Warner Bros. tentpole, that of JONAH HEX, is right for him to do. I speculated last week, it was him that pushed the CRANK creators off the franchise in the hope of getting a good director on board. Meanwhile, McG has confirmed to a German Newspaper that the final running time of TERMINATOR SALVATION is 2 hours and 10 minutes. source - /film
