Too Bad Arnold only makes a brief appearance in it, I'm looking forward to seeing this film along with Transformers Revenge of the Fallen and GI Joe Rise of Cobra, all three should be very great.

Meh... I'm looking forward to it but I'm feeling a little blah towards it. Its rated PG-13. The other three were R. Usually when they cut the rating to reach a wider audience, the movie tends to really suck bad. Plus isn't it directed by the guy who's only other real claim to fame was Charlie's Angels? Umm ya... My hopes are not very high....

Christian Bale accepting the role gives me a tiny bit of hope but they all have their downs and maybe this is gonna be his.

This true that they cutting the rating down for a wider audience, but another reason for this is, so they have have a toy line out as well. They are already wokring on a licensing deal for action figures with Playmates Toys.

Is that a new policy that if they have a toyline out it can't be R? I distinctly remember Aliens/Alien 3, Terminator, RoboCop and Starship Trooper toys available at Toys R Us... I haven't been in Toys R Us in a looong time though.

From my take, yes.

As production starts this week on Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, the next installment in the SF franchise, producers at the Halcyon Co. said they are aiming at a PG-13 rating for the Warner Brothers movie, which is set for release on May 22, 2009, Variety reported.

The Terminator series is one of the highest-grossing R-rated franchises of all time, with the first three films having grossed more than $1.03 billion worldwide. But Halcyon producers thought it was time to broaden the upcoming fourth film's audience base, and they believe the PG-13 won't compromise the series' gritty vision.

A family-friendly rating opens many doors, including a Terminator Salvation licensing deal for action figures with Playmates Toys.

Halcyon has already launched Halcyon Games to create a Terminator game for release at the same time as the movie.

Set in post-apocalyptic 2029, the movie centers on an adult John Connor, played by Christian Bale, who leads the war to save humanity from the killing machines.

I don't think that Arnold is making a cameo appearance in this one...

Yeah, they are just using archive footage from the other movies.

Roland Kickinger will play the the prototype T-800, Schwarzenegger did visited the set, leading to rumors he was providing his voice and got scanned for a digital double, which would be mapped onto Kickinger's physique. He had granted the Halcyon Company permission to use his likeness in the film.

I've actually never watched the Terminator movies. But my interest has been perked greatly by Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles and now this trailer....

Saw the trailer yesterday. I haven't seen all of the movies in their entirety, but this one looks interesting.

You've never watched T1 and 2? Two of my all time favorite movies. Go watch them now.

And I know its not the most popular opinion but I actually prefer T1 over T2.

Back on topic... I do hope a young Kyle Reese shows up in this one or the next (there's a sequel already planned am I correct?). They can end the whole saga with Reese going through the portal to 1984. In fact, the way I see it, thats the only way they CAN end this.

And I really need to get my hands on the SCC first season. I saw the first two episodes but because of my work schedule, I work during the time its on and I'm not up to date with current things like TiVo or whatever the crap thats stuff is called now. I really don't watch TV a lot but this was really the first show I felt I could get into since Highlander: The Series.

Kyle Reese will be be in this as teenaged soldier and admirer of John Connor and will be played by Anton Yelchin.

Christian Bale did sign up for three Terminator movies, T4, T5 and T6, but this was said in June and since then nothing else has been said.

Bale Balked At Terminator

Sci Fi Channel wrote:
Christian Bale, who plays a grown-up John Connor in the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, told reporters that he hesitated to take a pivotal role in another major SF franchise after playing Bruce Wayne/Batman in Batman Begins and the upcoming sequel, The Dark Knight.

"My feeling is that, you know, we have an opportunity and a responsibility" to such franchises, Bale said in a group interview in Beverly Hills, Calif., on June 29 to promote Dark Knight.

Bale added: "There's no point in making it if we don't achieve this: ... Reinventing that mythology, and there's a great deal of potential for that, and that is what I'm attempting to do. Anything less than that would be us failing."

Bale plays the iconic hero of the human revolution in Terminator Salvation, which attempts to reboot the franchise in the first of three films set after the nuclear holocaust of Judgment Day.

Terminator takes the fifth

[quote="ICv2"]A fifth Terminator film will be directed by McG, according to Variety, and released in 2011. McG’s Terminator Salvation will open next summer (see “Terminator IV Set for Memorial Day Bowâ€

I still say Bale will breath new life into these films. I know some people will bash on it, but from what I have seen everything looks quite good.

I finally saw the SCC season 1 (well, I have 3 episodes left). But I gotta say, if the show can be that good, be quite suspenseful and gritty and still get on TV (the show was quite violent/graphic), they should be able to get away with a PG-13 rating. Seeing the show has given me a bit of hope that this movie will actually be good cause I'm REALLY liken the show. I thought they did quite well with getting the atmosphere and feel of the future down. I was wishing they would spend more time in the future scenes so now I'm really pretty psyched for this movie. My one concern is, from the trailers, the future doesn't look as dark and bleak as it does even in the show... too much fighting and stuff during the day. They hid/slept during the day and moved around and fought at night to avoid being spotted. Plus it makes it much more suspenseful and bleak at night. Still I expect this to be better than the show and if that's the case, this should be a very good movie IMO.
