The teaser trailer for McG-directed Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is now online.
Watch it here below.
The fourth Terminator film, which will hit theaters on May 22, 2009, will star Christian Bale as John Connor. The teaser has Bale doing voiceover and there’s not much in terms of visuals at this point.
Also, Terminator Salvation‘s official site has been updated with an entry by the film’s Visual Effects Supervisor Charles Gibson, who wrote a bit about his intentions.
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.
Synopsis
In the highly anticipated new installment of “The Terminator” film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
The film also stars Anton Yelchin as Kyle Reese, Charlotte Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Common as Barnes, and Jadagrace as Star.
Um, there is no THERE there. Teaser is right. THis could have been frames from ANY movie. Yawn.

This movie will most likely turn out to be on par with the original. Christian Bale is such a talented and versatile actor, I am certian he will bring John Connor to life in ways we have never expected.

Oh man, why is it that theme in the static is just so haunting. It is just too good. This is going to be so sweet.
