Terminator Salvation: Trailer Two Released

^ Actually, he's not. It's a completely different actor.

oh. it's ages since i watched it and that was how it's described in the novel; which i've read more times than i've seen the movie...

Does anyone else think that the nuclear explosion at 2:13 in the trailer looks like it was taken from T3?

Compare it to the explosion at 0:40 here.

I don't think it's a big deal, just thought it was interesting (It's the kind of stuff you start noticing when you have watched to trailer 100 times ).

It's the same one.

 

[WillsBabe]

^ That's being addressed in this weeks episode actually.

I look forward to it. I'm in the UK so it will be a few weeks before I get to see it. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[captcalhoun]

it's in "Ourselves Alone"?

we're 3 weeks behind, WB.

^ If you want to see part of it (its an exchange between Derek and Jesse) part of the clip is available on YouTube. There's a link in the discussion thread for OA.

Thanks for that. I will get to the discussion thread - in about 3 weeks!

Total Film has an interview with McG who said he wants to bring Robert Patrick back for T5 as a human scientist.

i remember thinking a long time ago "Where did SkyNet get the faces for its Terminators?" and the T3 deleted scens showed Arnold as a guy called Sargeant Candy and I wondered who the T-1000 could've been so that sounds like a neat idea.

Are you sure that was a deleted scene? I thought it was a joke scene, especially since he had the thick southern accent and the other guy had the Ah-nuld accent.

It was a deleted scene. Here it is for those who aren't familiar with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYy0H1wuMYA

Yahoo Movies has the new trailer as well as a writeup of ten essential facts about the new film. They can be found here.

Looking at it they really have changed things a bit from the previous movies, but it still looks really good (No I don't really care about canon). I didn't think that they'd reveal Marcus as being a terminator though before the film even came out.

What specifically in the trailer contradicts what was shown in previous movies?

Spoiler: Essential facts about Terminator Salvation

The date is 2018 and the T-800 series is active (it's what is fighting in the quick cut); the T-800 was new in 2029 when sent back to kill Sarah Connor. It's ten years after Judgment Day; Judgment day happened in 2004.

 

[Lindley]

All of that is consistent with TSCC's philosophy: That Skynet would be sending agents back in time not only to kill the Connors, but also to accelerate its own development and improve its odds of victory that way.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has no bearing on the events of Terminator Salvation. The storyline takes place in an alternate reality from the events of the films - confirmed by the producers. Salvation has no connections to the events of TSCC in any way shape or form (except they both use T1 & T2 as background elements).

 

[Kryton]

Well that makes it kinda worthless in some ways.

 

[nx1701g]

It's just an alternate timeline. Technically, if true, all aspects minus JD happening and Kate Brewster of T3 are being ignored in T4 then the same could be said for it. If you think about it everything Terminator is an alternate timeline.

 

[ATimson]

If you think about it everything Terminator is an alternate timeline.

The Terminator, by itself, is a closed loop requiring no alternate timelines. It isn't until Terminator 2 that the possibility of timeline changes are brought up, but it's still possible (if unlikely) that things still happened as we knew it.

Only with Terminator 3 did the ability to change the future--"no fate" speeches aside--become, well, canon.

 

[nx1701g]

^ Actually, in many respects, T3 made the ability to change the future impossible.

 

[Ryan8bit]

Not really. All that was inevitable was Judgment Day. The fact that it was delayed and that lieutenants from the war were able to be killed suggests that certain things still can be changed.

I think a lot of people have this idea that TS is just the result of more alterations of the timeline, but I have this feeling that they're going to try and work it as if it were one unified timeline somehow.

 

[Aragorn]

If you think about it, Judgment Day is inevitable. The longer it's delayed, the easier it becomes. Not only because the machines will be technologically superior to kick start things, but because humans will be more and more dependent on electronics.

It's not dependence on electronics that's the problem, it's dependence on connected electronics. Skynet can only take over my microwave if I hook it up to the Internet.
