Wow. This is nothing new.

Another one? C'mon, give classic series a rest.

This is like the Planet of the Apes movies: they kept making them til the story came around full circle.

Josh Brolin as a Terminator? And the sissy boy they have playing Reese? crylaugh

I'll DVD this one.

sometiiiimmeess i feeeeel like i'm beatin' a deeeaad horse

Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?


I liked Terminator 3 so I will probably see this one. I like Bale and I think Brolin could be a good Terminator but I'll wait till a trailer to decide if I see it in theaters.

Take it off.

Talking of Planet of the Apes. Helena Bonham Carter is going to be in this 4th movie, it's a small but important role apparently.

It can't be as bad as the third one...

Loved all three Terminator movies. Bale is a very good and talented actor. Can't wait to see him as John Connor in the three films

Ugh, no more. I love the trilogy, so this is just taking it over the line.

and t-3 didnt take it over the line?

this seems like one movie that should be made.

I liked #3, and I think that that's all you need.

No Arnold? GTFO then.

yeah, but instead of rehashing the second movie and essentially remaking it, like t3. T4 is going to deliver what fans have wanted to see ever since the first nightmare sequence in terminator 1 and we actually get a good actor, rather than ahnold. You don't think that justifies another movie?

Arnold was a fine actor for what we had to do...

And Christian Bale really isn't all that great, imo...

Of course ahnold did a good job. He didnt have to do anything other than look big and imposing and act like a robot.

Great or not, Bale is a much better actor than Ahnold. I think he is better or at least, just as good of an actor as nick stahl. He can definitely carry a movie on his talents.

Going through an entire movie without smiling or changing your facial expression at all, no matter what the diologue is or what you yourself are going through, is next to impossible for most people to do without some sort of CGI or something. Ahnold's acting is underrated.

Christian Bale isn't bad, he is better then ahnold, but I don't like his face in movies. he always looks uncomfortable in everything he does, like there's something up his ass.

As if they shot it all live.

no it's not.

How do you think pictures are made these days, son?

and why would you try and down grade Christian bale? He is one of the best actors out there. That man could play anything.

are you taking crazy pills or just drinking to much flouride with your water? cuz i like you, and i dont want to see you go down the wrong path

I wuv you too...

But nah.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles was a rather good show, and there was no Arnold in sight. It can be done. T4 should be good, but then the director they have isn't all that... if it's still that one with the shitty name.

I found Sarah Connor Chronicles to be absolute shit, actually.

It was nice when there didn't have to be teen age angst in everything.

Sarah Conner cronicles can go blow itself IMO actually.

I miss Linda Hamilton as Sarah Connor.

i miss good movie's

Chronicles wasn't that bad! And yeah Linda Hamilton was amazing but it's unrealistic that she could come back and play the role...

Why is everyone using past tense for the Sarah Connor Chronicles? Um...its still on the air.

This movie will fail without Arnold.

after number 2, terminator sucks so i think ill pass and spend my money on something worth seing

I don't get why they didn't just stop at Terminator 2

Because it's finished its first original run of series 1 in most places around the world, here in England anyway. Waiting for the second series to start now.

Pretty much an everyday thing for me. Next challenge?

In my country, it's past tense.

Why do you persist on suggesting that keeping an emotional-less gaze is so hard?

It isn't as though the actor is spending hours on end during a continuous shoot without cracking a smile. The actor is doing hundreds of one to two minute takes.

should of left it at t2

The world in which the war takes place does not look as "dark" as Cameron depicted it to be in Terminator and T2. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

Still can't believe another Terminator movie is coming out after the mess T3 created...

There's a small rumor that it might be PG-13. They better not ):<

That's the first thing I thought. It's kind of weird seeing the resistance and the terminators fighting in the day time, because I'm so used to seeing it happen at night.

Thing is though in The Terminator, in the scene where Sarah and Reese escape from the Cop shop and Arnie, after Sarah has attended to Reese's wound Sarah quizzes Reese on the future. He says:

"You stay down by day, but at night you can move around."

So Cameron showing us future war scenes where it's dark is only staying true to the material he has created. Now I'm not saying it looks like Salvation won't be staying true to the first two movies, and I'm not trying to be sceptical. It's just another way of looking at the movie. Cos obviously there has to be daytime...

It will be nice to watch fighting during the day. I suppose fighting at night makes it that little bit more dramatic, what with the dark and all. But I thought the future would have been dark anyways with all the radiation from the fallout of the nukes that Skynet launched.

That's what I thought. Maybe they decide to go at night after having no luck in the day time probably shown in Salvation. I would like to see a Terminator film shot mostly at night, giving the film that dark scary feel, which worked so well in T1.

Also it does make sense doing it in daylight don't forget this is at the start of the war not 30 years on from the 3rd movie so yea they're still learning new ways to defeat the machines.

Yes, very good point. It's the start of the war, no one's going to know what's what, course they'll be out and about during the day.

I hope we see the 600 series model Terminators. I don't know why but ever since we were told about them in The Terminator I've always wanted to see them because of what Reese said:

"The 600-series had rubber skin. We spotted them easy."

You can just imagine them looking like some reject robots from an old Dr Who series...

Just messing with yah barand1!

Oh haha, well I think the Terminator half way into the trailer (which you can see if you look carefully - there are pics on the web) is a T-600. McG described what they will look like and it fits the description.

Seems they're going for Story then action with the 4th one

That last part seems a bit strange: "...how creating life creates real responsibility - and if left unchecked, can be our undoing."

Wonder what they mean by that...Any ideas guys?

I assume he means Man and it's creation, machines. Man created the computers and created the machines, which are built to have a responsibility (for example, SkyNet was created to wipe out a deadly computer virus across the world). Leave that creation unchecked, and things can go unexplainably wrong (SkyNet becoming self-aware, turning on mankind), resulting in our undoing.

Whoa, good call. I never thought about it like that! Good answer that barand1, and so true too.

See, this movie is starting to get me to think (not very hard I might add...) T3 never really did that for me. We need to return to that type of movie.

For example, in T2, when Arnie said: "It's in your nature to destroy yourselves" it made me think about what he said, and the consequences, e.g. wars, fighting.

And another famous phrase from T2:

"I know now why you cry. But it is something I can never do."

That got me thinking too. Powerful script. I hope the same can be said for T4.

I suppose T3's message was if you prepare and plan to do something, that something has to happen first before you can do that no matter how bad it is, if that makes any sense. I guess that's been the underline message of all three films though.

I love that line, who would of thought of ever feeling sorry for a machine.

Except with T3's message they did'nt really do a good job of it they concetrated more on the action.

Salvation looks like it's full of action backed up by a very good story line. I hope I haven't jinxed it by saying that.

If people go to watch Salvation with an open mind, I think it can do the right job. I've grown to accept T3. It doesn't fit in with The Terminator or T2 Judgement Day but hey, it's given us the chance to see the war.

Exactly!

It's like in Terminator's CPU there's a list of commands that he cannot do...And because he has understood the meaning of crying (finally), it's jumped to the top of his list of "not to do" list (or maybe it's just behind self terminating).

Yeah, it begs the question - did the T-800 start to feel emotion or did it just understand why people cry? I'm sure it's the latter but it's nice to slightly think he felt a bit upset too and therefore wanted to cry.

I used to act out that scene with my sister (lol!). Now that is sad, but for the wrong reasons.

Hello Everyone ,

Here is a Terminator Salvation trailer I found on Apple.com :

Benhacker

Thanks for the post / pic / link Benhacker. Nice to hear from you!

With Christian Bale attached to it, I'm extremely confident T4 will be awesome

He's one of the best actors today.

Agreed.

Someone needs to start a "Bale as Connor" thread on here where they can express what they think of Bale's casting...

I would but I'm too scared to...

Pics of the T-600 and some of the talk that happen at the panel

Man, I wish that "T4" footage shown at Comic-Con was available on the internet; I read a breakdown of what was shown over at www.empireonline.com, and it sounded very cool indeed (and the reaction to it appears to have been overwhelmingly positive!) .

The teaser trailer that *has* been released also looks most promising. In fact, without wishing to jump the gun, based on everything I've seen/heard in relation to the movie so far, it seems that McG could very well follow in the footsteps of people like Daniel Craig and Heath Ledger; both had their doubters to begin with, but ultimately drew great praise for their work (as James Bond and the Joker respectively).

I'm still hoping, though, for a secret cameo appearance from the Governator himself ...

i wont see it because arnold aint in. you cant have terminator without the star himself

Well, I'm still hoping that the governator will make at least a cameo appearance in "T4"; intriguingly, the producers have neither confirmed nor denied this possibility ...
