McG To Direct Terminator 4?

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! No, seriously, AAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!

CHUD is reporting that McG is in talks to direct Terminator 4. Now, we actually thought the first Charlie's Angels was ok, in a completely brainless bubblegum way, but does the director of those movies and the straight-to-DVD We Are Marshall have what it takes to make a film that should feature the Terminator war we've all been waiting for?

The fourth film, which CHUD's source says is planned to go into production pre-strike and has a finished script, would take place – spoilers ahead for those who haven't seen Terminator 3 (a film that, according to an instant straw poll of the office, only I enjoyed) – after the apocalypse that John and Kate failed to prevent. John should be gathering the remaining humans to fight off the army of Skynet robots in a huge battle. Basically this is the war that's been briefly glimpsed in the previous movies and should serve as the origin of the Arnie-shaped Terminator we know and aren't sure whether to love or run from. This needs to be good.

Would you give the reins to McG? If not, then who?
