Could Linda Hamilton Return for Terminator Salvation? + McG Offers T5 Hints January 13, 2009 3:00 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Terminator Salvation.1 comment so far
During a special event on Monday night for McG’s Terminator Salvation, ComingSoon.net asked the director if they’ve put any thought into doing a recap that would be placed at the beginning of the film as an introduction for new viewers. McG responded by saying that they were still trying to figure out what to do, but one of the options under consideration is to have Sarah Connor do a voiceover to open the film. Just another bit of news to add to the rumor mill.
McG was also asked about plans to shoot two back-to-back sequels to Terminator Salvation, and he ended up giving a few hints about what to expect from the fifth movie it were to be released:
He has spent some time with Jonah Nolan arcing out what the story for the next two movies might be and he hinted that “time travel has yet to be explored” in the upcoming movie, and that it would be one of the themes of the next movie. Since the plot of “Salvation” involves Christian Bale’s John Connor trying to save Anton Yelchin’s Kyle Reese, who would later go back in time and father John, a sequel may deal with some of the things leading up to Kyle going back in time to save Sarah from the original T-800.

In January, IDW Publishing will debut a new comic book that will serve as a prequel to the upcoming film Terminator Salvation. The publishing firm today released a description of the comic. It follows below.
“Terminator: Salvation Movie Prequel” is written by Dara Naraghi (“Lifelike”) with art by Alan Robinson and cover by Nick Runge.
The year is 2018. With John Connor as the voice of the resistance, the scattered remnants of humanity find themselves united against their common enemy: Skynet and its Terminators. Through a patchwork system of radio transmitters, hacked satellite phones, and encrypted computer networks, resistance leader Elena Maric in Detroit, and Nigerian mining engineer Bem Aworuwa, have formed an unlikely friendship and drawn up battle plans to take the fight to the Terminators!
Like the film they tie-in to, IDW’s Terminator comics will push the timeline of the franchise past Judgment Day and into all new territory, allowing for stories and visuals previously only hinted at on film. The series will take the core concept of the Terminator films and give them a more global scope showing not just John Connor, but other humans who are either trying to survive or are actively part of the resistance. Writer Dara Naraghi says he was interested in exploring new themes—not just the action of a monumental battles, but also the game of basic survival the characters find themselves facing in such a war torn and desolate future.
“All over the world, people find themselves having to band together regardless of what their previous station in life or prejudices might have been,” Naraghi explained.
The 32-page comic will retail for $3.99. Terminator Salvation hits theaters on May 22, 2009.

Arnold Schwarzenneggar Responds (Kinda) to Terminator Salvation Cameo Rumors December 26, 2008 2:05 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Terminator Salvation.add a comment
Fan-site The Arnold Fans recently spoke with Governor Arnold Schwarzeneggar about whether he would be appearing in the upcoming McG-directed film. Here’s what the site had to say about the conversation in which he was asked about rumors he’d make a cameo apperance (likely voice with his face digitally placed onto a T800):
Governor Arnold, perhaps under restraints by McG and the film studio, answers only with the body language and a smile of “You never know.” Should we take that as a yes? The tease was promising but it’s too soon to get an official answer.
I don’t know about you, but I’m fairly confident these non-denial answers pretty much mean Arnold will be in the new film. Additionally, DC Direct has unveiled a couple new busts from the film and one of them is classified until May 6, 2009. That final bust–pictured below, click to enlarge and to see four more busts–is code-named T-RIP. I’m pretty sure that’s Arnold.

Variety is reporting that Halcyon Co. execs Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek are working with Terminator Salvation director McG on a fifth installment of the popular franchise.
Terminator Salvation was always planned to be the first in a new trilogy, but the announcement to move forward with another installment was originally expected to be withheld until the release of the film next summer, but positive studio, fan and media reaction to recently released footage of the film has encouraged Halcyon to move forward ahead of schedule:
“We feel the time is now to start shaping the next part of this,” Kubicek said.
The announcement was made at the Dubai International Film Festival, where McG was in attendance.
Christian Bale is already signed on for the role of John Connor in all three films.

McG Updates Terminator Salvation October 27, 2008 12:35 am
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Terminator Salvation.add a comment
Terminator Salvation director McG wrote a new blog posting over at the film’s official website. Here are some highlights:
- Principal photograph has wrapped. They’re currently in post-production.
- Christian Bale and Sam Worthington have been shown early cuts and “seem pleased with where the film is headed”.
- McG says the crew feels the responsibility of showcasing amazing special effects. To that end, VFX supervisor Charlie Gibson is working with ILM and Asylum every day and making revisions to the finest detail.
- They want the machines to be “dirty and heavy and perfectly realistic”. That’s why they built so much practically with Stan Winston.
- On the VFX: “There’s one sequence in particular where we’re trying to achieve something that’s never been done before. I don’t want to talk about it because we haven’t been successful yet…, McG said, adding “But we’re working on it”.
- On Bale and Worthington and the story: They “bring power to the rolls of John Connor and Marcus Wright. This is a story of two destinies colliding. Connor is part of a resistance comprised of the ethnicities that make up the globe. This film is so much more that just Los Angeles. It reflects the global crisis of man, all of man versus machine.”

Schwarzenegger Not Sold on “Terminator Salvation” August 6, 2008 8:43 am
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Terminator Salvation.add a comment
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger told the Los Angeles Times that he’s still not sold on Terminator Salvation, despite given a private screening of the comic-con reel by the movie’s producers:
“I’ve seen very little footage so I don’t really have a feel for it. I hope they do well, and I hope it is a huge hit. I do hope it creates a spectacle on the screen. That is what James Cameron created,” Arnold said. “I still don’t know how it will play out with this one. They showed me some footage, but I don’t have a feel for the movie. I didn’t see enough. I wasn’t sure who the Terminator was. I don’t know if there is one or if he’s the star or the hero. These are the things that determine the success and how the strong the movie will be.”

Comic-Con 2008: “Terminator Salvation” Panel (Trailer Screened + Poster Revealed) July 26, 2008 9:03 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Comic-Con, Comic-Con 2008, Movies, News, Photos, Terminator Salvation.1 comment so far
Director McG was joined by the cast (except for Bale who was in Japan promoting The Dark Knight) of Terminator Salvation at the panel for the film. Here are some highlights courtesy ComingSoon.net:
- McG mentioned the film is only 50% complete and that no CGI has been added.
- He told the audience that he has listened to the fans and even went to see James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger before making the movie.
- Contrary to early reports, they aren’t targeting a PG-13 rating. McG said that they’re just going to make the movie they want to make, and if the final rating is R or PG-13, they are okay with whatever.
- The movie takes place in the near future-2018.
- Hinted at the T-100 model being a part of the mythology of Terminator (Arnold cameo?).
- He announced that a full trailer will be attached to this November’s Quantum of Solace.
- McG also revealed that Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight) was “the lead writer of the film” adding “I don’t know how the WGA rules work but honest to goodness, we did the heaviest lifting with Jonah.”
- A new poster from the film has been released (pictured right–click to enlarge).
Here’s a summary of the footage that was screened (via /Film):
The footage opens with a descending overhead shot of John Connor (Christian Bale), barely emerging from the scene of a helicopter crash. “Are there any survivors?” a cackling radio voice asks? “One,” Bale says quietly, then again, shouting, for emphasis. He walks off into the distance, as we begin to hear Bale’s dialogue in the film.
The rest of the trailer takes place in various places in 2018, when Earth has become a bombed out, post-apocalyptic hellscape after the rise of Skynet. Amongst other scenes, we see a face to face confrontation between Connor and Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), in which Bale threateningly declares, “If I let you down, you’ll kill everyone in this room,” and then later, “You tried killing my mother. You killed my father. You will not kill me.”
A young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) delivers the “Come with me if you want to live” line and we see several obscured shots of T-600s, hideous combinations of metal and rubbery flesh. A topless (but covered by her hands) Blair Williams, played by Moon Bloodgood, shares a poignant look with Wright. At one point in the trailer, Connor and Reese share a meaningful exchange. Various action shots, full of shooting, running, and massive explosions are concluded by a shot of Bale screaming at the close sight of a metal cyborg hand.

“Terminator Salvation”: The Visual Effects July 16, 2008 4:14 pm
Posted by Rosario T. Calabria in Movies, News, Terminator, Terminator Salvation.add a comment
The official production blog for Terminator Salvation has been updated with new quotes from visual effects supervisor, Charles Gibson.
“Prior to Terminator Salvation, I worked on all three Pirates movies. Those worlds and characters were from a different time and place and had to be completely fabricated. This film plays in an altered but plausible version of our world. We’re primarily concerned with bringing the Terminator elements home, to make you believe this reality could be just around the corner. It’s a very different sort of challenge.
McG’s take is to weave science fiction and horror elements into a state-of-the-art action film: The camera always moves, the imagery is raw and kinetic, the pace is insane. The creative challenge for me will be to bury the effects into the photography but to still protect our big visual moments.
Before Terminator 2: Judgment Day, visual effects films were frequently driven by technology — you worked with what you had. With The Abyss and especially with Terminator 2: Judgment Day, James Cameron showed us that concept rules: When the director has a compelling new vision, the technology will follow. Cameron opened that gate for other filmmakers who in turn have pushed the visual effects industry in new directions.
We’ve been waiting to see this world for years — it’s only been glimpsed and hinted at in the previous Terminator movies. We’re able to revisit the elements that have been established, but we’re going to be adding a whole lot more.”
