Terminator Salvation (4) Movie Teaser

Hello, today i just saw the new teaser of Terminator IV akaTerminator Salvation. Theres not mutch to see, but i must confess that i'm quite anxious to see something more.

This time it abandons the formula of the series (Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Model 101 Terminator time traveling to the present to protect or kill someone of future importance), in this movie Sam Worthington as the new terminator Marcus Wright. The film is set in 2018, focusing on the original war between humanity and the Terminator computer network Skynet.

Of the aesthetic for the fourth Terminator movie, McG says, "We're shooting the film on color stock but are using a method inspired by the Oz process which was developed at Technicolor by Mike Zacharia and Bob Olson. Basically we are adding three times as much silver. It creates a surreal texture that is in keeping with the notion of the entire picture - feeling detached from the world we know today." So, that'll be nice.

McG also says that he and Christian Bale have been entering into extensive collaboration on the story and that they're committing to story over action – an encouraging statement, even if it is one used by a lot of directors who, well, clearly don't put story before action. He describes the plot, which takes place during the battle between humans and robots that follows Judgement Day, as "a Prometheus tale really, how creating life creates real responsibility - and if left unchecked, can be our undoing."

McG's managed to turn a good proportion of his online detractors around with his casting and visual decisions on this movie. The guy's gone from internet pariah to potential fan favourite. All he has to do now is deliver on the promise that this movie's so far showing. No pressure.
