Rachel Weisz and Chloe Sevigny battle to terminate.   The New York Daily News  reports that Weisz and Sevigny have both been courting the producers of the next "Terminator" flick.

Apparently, a source told the paper that: "The next 'Terminator' has been cast with an undisclosed Hollywood heartthrob, but the leading lady is still up for grabs.  Chloe and Rachel personally inquired to Anderson and Kubicek about the role at the party."

Meanwhile over at IGN, James Middleton (aka the producer of The Sarah Connor Chronicles) let loose a few key plot details for the new film.  The lead character won't be John after all, but a new character.  The example he used: "Ben-Hur was influenced by Jesus Christ, but it was his story. Much in that way, this character will be influenced by John Connor."  The film will follow the events of T3 and will be life in the post-apocalypse.

The question then becomes who Weisz and Sevigny are vying to play?  Is the film set immediately after T3?  Will either one fill Claire Danes' shoes as Kate, or function as Love Interest Number One for the new guy?  Weisz apparently saw this script at the same time she passed on "The Mummy 3," so clearly she saw something good.  A new female Terminator?
