Terminator (4) Salvation sneak peak trailer

[Forbin]

While the writer and the cast give me hope, I think McG totally sucks (I think Charlie's Angels I gave me ADD), and a sucky director can kill a great script.

I really don't think McG is a sucky director and I think he gets lambasted far more than he deserves. I understand people not liking Charlie's Angels because it's not their cup of tea and stylistically is not agreeable to them, but his films have shown an immense amount of style and creativity and an awareness of what his movies are and an innate ability to control them within their designated style. That's called directing. He's far more talented than, say, Brett Ratner, who is a corporate factory spewing Wal Mart Movies.

And its about 8ft tall. Thanks for forgeting that fact Reese!

Simple - it's a new timeline. The future that he grew up learning about is no longer - Judgment Day occurred on a different day, the nature of Skynet is different et al. Nothing that was part of the concrete future is, well, concrete anymore.

Exactly. There are currently four distinct timelines for the War Against the Machines.

1.) Original Timeline (The Terminator, Terminator 2: Judgment Day)
2.) Rise of the Machines Timeline
3.) Salvation Timeline
4.) The Sarah Connor Chronicles Timeline

I thought Salvation continues on from the events of T3 (albeit 20 or so years later).

Also, I would argue that the films form one consistent timeline (minus the occasional continuity error) and that the only thing changing is the future of said timeline.

I agree he's a competent director, but I haven't really seen much out of him that shows he is capable beyond making Charlie's Angels films, which is my only hesitation. Who knows. Maybe he'll impress with Terminator. We'll see.

On a purely superficial level, the guy is really annoying to listen to.

The date of Judgment Day has been changed for Salvation. Instead of 2004 it now takes place in 2008.

They are disrespecting established CANON! No, seriously, didn't John Connor say it was in 2004 that JD happened? Or is McG creating/rebooting with a whole new trilogy?

 

[Siwilliams]

they shoulda sent that giant robot back in time to kill sarah connor

maybe they will

 

[Candlelight]

Also, I wonder if they will stay true to T1 when Reece said the first terminators had rubber skin. And remember the terminator from Reece's dream was definitely not Arnold.

I don't think Hollywood cares about continuity anymore.

Just because Charlie's Angels is a guilty pleasure of yours does not necessarily elevate McG above the status of Brett Ratner as a director.

Tony Scott, Brett Ratner, McG are just journeyman directors.

Auteur Theory has totally eluded them when they do nothing but direct with the guidance of memos from studio executives.

When writing the script they were told they were allowed to pick and choose from the events of the previous three films for Salvation. What's been said is:

1.) The Terminator is strictly followed.
2.) Terminator 2 is followed but there could be some slight divergence.
3.) Terminator 3 they said will have aspects followed, but not strictly. The only things confirmed are that Judgment Day happened (rumored moved to Summer 2008 instead of July 24, 2004) and Kate Connor.

I think I perfectly explained my opinion on the matter, and on why McG is a level above Brett Ratner. Show me one movie that looks like the Charlie's Angels films, you might be able to pick a few, but show me one movie that looks like a Brett Ratner flick? Dozens upon dozens.

Tony Scott has his own style, too. It's not his fault Simpson and Bruckheimer copped it and told a bunch of other for-hire directors to crib from it.

Who's Kate Connor. Oh wait! You mean Katherrynn Brroooosta!

The whole trailer has been released and it is awesome

 

[LutherSloan]

Very good stuff. Looking forward to this.

I would also like to mention that TSCC has seemingly 85 different timelines going on, thanks to all of the backwards time-travel on the show.

 

[captcalhoun]

what does Connor say has 'been busy'? after muddy guy throws his arms up, before he talks to Sam Worthington's character?

Yeah, I'm wondering that as well. For anyone else interested, it's 01:12 into the trailer.. Sounds like "the yellow sands has been busy", but that doesn't make any sense

[Edit: Googled it, and came up with "The devil hands has been busy", but that doesn't sound quite right either]

 

[Cicero]

"The devil's hands have been busy."

 

[Nociod]

"The devil's hands have been busy."

yeah, but it still doesn't sound quite right, even after I listen to it knowing it says that :P, they should fix that in the movie.
