According to a recent casting call list for Terminator 3, Warner Bros. is looking for a new John Connor. Edward Furlong, who played the younger John Connor in 1991's Terminator 2, is no longer being courted to reprise his role.

While the latest film will portray John in his early 20s (Edward is 24), sources close to the picture said that the recent trouble that Furlong has gotten into has made him a risky choice to portray a hero. As of right now, only Arnold Schwarzenegger has been retained for the third movie in the franchise.
