Don't be hatin' on Common >_>

Pour all your hate towards McG

Anyway, I hope this is good. Despite what some say, I really enjoyed T3. Not to the same extent of the first two of course. Yes, its a rehash of T2, but T2-lite with better effects and non-annoying John Conner is pretty good in my book. I thought they ended it on a very good note to, with the world going to hell, but it seemed kinda beautiful.

Again, PLEASE don't be bad T4. Don't **** on one of my favorite movie franchises :(

Trailer transcript...

The future. A barren wasteland with the smoking wreckage of a helicopter.
Radio: “Bravo 10, Bravo 10, is anyone there? Answer please. Come in. Anyone there? How many survivors are there?”
A survivor moves, it’s Christian Bale as John Connor.
Connor: “One.”
Radio: “Repeat.”
Connor: “...ONE!”
Cut to: Bale stepping over the corpse of a terminator.
Cut to: Bale face to face with Sam Worthington’s Marcus Wright.
Connor: “If I let you down, you’ll kill everyone in this room.”
Wright: “Not everyone, just you Connor. Because I don’t give a **** about you. I didn’t even know your name until two days ago.”
Connor: (whispered) “Kill me? We’ve been at war since before either of us even existed.”
Cut to: Marcus Wright standing in a wreckage strewn courtyard.
Wright: “Hey!”
Suddenly weapon fire shatters the silence and bullets begin chewing up the ground around him. Just as it seems he’s done for a figure dives out from out of shot and knocks him out of the line of fire. He looks up and it’s Antol Yelchin’s Kyle Reese.
Reese: “Come with me if you want to live.”
We see the barrel of a minigun blazing and a Terminator’s feet as it walks towards them, crushing a human skull beneath its weight.
Wright: (echoing Michael Biehn’s lines form the first film while talking to Reese) “What day is it? What year?”
Reese: “2018.”
Wright: “What happened here?”
Reese: “Judgement day happened.”
Cut to: a truck with a snow plough welded to the front crashing through obstacles on a road, a jeep driving through the desert, resistance fighters running across a train track and three humans jumping over a precipice with abseiling ropes attached to them.
Voice: “Go! Go! Go!”
Cut to: the burned face of a T-600, its metal skull showing through the ruin of its flesh.
Cut to: the silhouette of a terminator endoskeleton holding a gun, it’s eyes glow red against the darkness.
Cut to: A night shot of Moon Bloodgood’s Blair Williams standing outside with her back to us, topless. She turns around, her hands covering her modesty.
Cut to: figures running amidst explosions and gunfire, a figure on a motorbike flying through the air.
Cut to: John Connor and his men inside a bunker. There is a huge cybernetic arm tied to a table – it’s about seven feet long and topped with a claw. Connor crouches nest to the claw to study it and the claw comes to life, snapping at the air.
Cut to: A huge metal machine rearing into shot with red eyes and an enormous metal carapace. An inhuman howl fills the air.
Connor: “This is not the future that my mother told me about. Something has changed.”
The familiar Terminator beat hammers out.
Kate Connor: “If you saved us once in another future, you can save us in this one.”
Cut to: Reese turning to Connor.
Reese: “Who are you?”
Connor: “John Connor!”
Cut to: Bryce Dallas Howard’s Kate Connor running toward s the camera and screaming “John!”
Cut to: Connor face to face with Wright again.
Connor: “You tried killing my mother. You killed my father. You will not kill me.”
Cut to: A figure covered head to toe in mud and screaming into the night (could be Worthington or Bale – hard to tell).
Cut to: a terminator trapped under the landing strut of a helicopter. A gun barrel lowers to its skull and puts it out of its misery. The camera pans up to reveal John Connor looking decidedly mean.
Cut to: the inside of a building. A huge cybernetic arm crashes through the ceiling and grabs someone, pulling him through the hole in the roof. It’s the arm of a harvester, one of the machine’s huge man hunters.
Cut to: A terminator being crushed by a falling car.
End title comes up word by word: The. End. Begins.
Cut to: Bale lying prone, clearly in pain with a terminator’s hand descending towards his face.
Connor: “You son of a *****!”
It claws furrows down the front of his face. He screams.

McG certainly sounds as though he has a good understanding of what people want from a Terminator movie. It could be a pleasant surprise...

Also, McG said that Jonathan Nolan is the lead screenwriter for the Terminator 4. Given that it was known that the Catwoman + Terminator 3 writers where making the movie up untill then and it has already begun filming. Also, Paul Haggis is listed on IMDB as a "contributing writer." Paul being the screenwriter for Million Dollar Baby, Casino Royal, In the Valley of Elah, and Letters from Iwo Jima.

'...For those of you who are Dark Knight fans this is just more good news for Terminator 4. It means we get alot more then splashy effects and top notch action. It should however come as no surprise Jonathon is involved since Christian Bale star of Dark Knight is also the star on this one. I am sure Bale is involved somehow on Jonathons involvement.'

Well, well, well...the skeptics are backing down and thinking twice! Who'd a-thunk it?

Plus, that trailer sounds great!

T3 and a very possible lack of Schwarzenegger give plenty of reasons to be skeptical.

Maybe severing ties with Arnie now is for the best if they plan to continue with another two or three movies...

Just watched T2 and T3. T3 isn't bad but there are a few things that make you cringe like the sound editing. Next time you watch it, pay attetion to the part when they're driving through the neighborhood and the truck hits the kids inflatable pool/playset. They added this sound that sounded like a rubber ducky being squished and then a bounce sound like it came out of a Looney Tunes cartoon. Despite it's flaws, T3 was still pretty good.

I'm looking forward to the new Christain Bale trilogy.

Edited to add: Shouldn't the title of this thread include T5 and T6? Next year's movie is part one of the new trilogy is it not?

'...Probably the biggest controversy about the upcoming Terminator 4 is the fact that McG is writing it. The fact it stars Christian Bale who is a genius and the fact that the writer of Dark Knight Jonathon Nolan was the lead writer, fans still will not shut up about the fact McG is directing. So many fans consider him a hack. As much as I am not a fan of McG I can see the talent everyone brings and all McG has to do is mix it all together and voila... a hit. Sam Worthington isnt bothered at all about the fact that McG is directing. He didnt show up to do a McG movie he showed up to make a movie.. and so did McG.'

'..."First thing McG ever said to me was I don?t want to make a McG movie. I want to make a Terminator movie and that?s where we are."'

Quint: 'Now this is supposed to be setup like the beginning of a series of films, right?'

McG: 'Well naturally, but I would never presume that this would be so well received to warrant a sequel. That’s the idea and Christian (Bale) and I have arched out three movies and what we want to do with it, but…'

Quint: 'So do you see it progressing as they get closer and closer to the year that we have seen, that it looks more like what we know of the future war?'

McG: 'As they get closer to 2029, it starts to look more like that indeed. This is 2018, so we studied Chernobyl… We talked to the scientists. We talked to the futurists. We talked to the environmentalists. “What does the world look like after it has destroyed itself?” “How long do you need to be under ground?” “What did the Geiger meter say?” “What are the hot zones?” “What are the cool zones?” “What is nuclear winter all about?” That’s the world we came up with and we developed our own film stock, we are treating it with three times as much silver as color film is traditionally treated with and the interest of giving it that ethereal look that… I’m hoping to capture the visual language of the Cormack McCarthy book THE ROAD.'
