We weren’t aware that there were plans to make a fourth Terminator movie, but this is what we learned today: Terminator Salvation: the Future Begins is set to hit theaters in May 2009, and Chicago hip-hopper Common is set to play a character named Barnes, a freedom fighter for the human race.

Currently, Common is preoccupied with his eighth album “Invincible Summer,” slated for release in mid-July. [S-T]

Meanwhile, enjoy Common’s visual dialog with the city of Chicago, arguably much more fantastic than Kanye's recent submission.
