As you undoubtedly have heard by now, McG’s version of the Terminator will be showing up in Teaser Trailer form in front of Warner Bros. sure-to-be mega hit “The Dark Knight”. You know, the latest Batman movie, which also happens to star Christian Bale, who is also the star of the new Terminator trilogies? — Holy Brilliant Cross Promotion, Batman! But before then, someone has sent what they claim to be the a confirmed description of the upcoming T4 teaser to movie site AICN. The site does not confirm or deny the description, so that it for what you will, especially considering the rumor about the film’s ending that AICN floated a little while ago that has been denied by everyone, including McG.
It opens with footage of people out in every day life. Christian Bale voiceovers
something like:“I always knew it happen”…
Than a pause…
“They told me I could stop it.”
The same people begin looking to the sky….
“That I could save us”.
Looks of horror come across their faces as he says, “They were wrong”.
Music rises as we cut to black for a second. The Terminator theme starts, with the duh duh,
duh, duh duh.NEXT SUMMER appears on the screen…
We get a quick shot looking out over a sunny desert, and then a shot of Bale, in badass commando uniform and very recognizably the same guy who plays Batman, being lowered into a huge bunker of weapons.
THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE rolls across, and we get mixed clips from inside one of the survivor bunkers as seen in Terminator 1 – but they look more concentration campish; very crowded, shots of Bale walking with a large crowd. And then the word…
BEGINS.
The music quickly rises as we get shot of a huge truck racing down a high way, a shot or two of a helicopter flying mixed with more close ups of the actors when Bale whispers “They’re coming”.
It all goes quiet.
Massive drums blare the beginning of the theme (again) but this time much louder, more pumped up, as we get a metallic silver T that morphs into a 4.
We then get the big money shot of the trailer. Its Bale on a motorcycle with some girl on the back. They speed through a door of what looks like a warehouse toward us. As soon as they pass the screen, a huge terminator on wheels, a lot like the one they battle in the first one, smashes through the wall, chasing them. It looks awesome.
It than says: Memorial Day 2009.
I was not a big fan of T3 aside from the ending, but this looks really good.
It definitely sounds credible, especially considering the desert comments, because they’re currently shooting the film in New Mexico. But watch “The Dark Knight” when it shows up in theaters in July and judge for yourself.
*Ugh* I am so not looking forward to this. I want to cos Christian Bale is in it but any proper Terminator fan knows it ended after the 2nd movie, after that it’s overkill (for the money only) and not loyal to the characters at all.
I always laugh when the supposed diehard fans of a series of movies always say that they or any other “proper fans” should never ever see the sequel. Yet when the sequel comes out they are always the first in line to get tickets. Don’t pretend that you speak for all the fans of the series. Just because the story isn’t how you figured it would be in your own little fantasy world doesn’t mean that it won’t be good. Wait until the movie comes out, go see it like everyone else, make a decision whether you like it or not, and then get a life and get over yourselves. Just my two cents.
Seriously… they said in T3 that John Connor will die at the hands of a familiar Terminator and that his wive survives (cause she was the one who programmed him in the first place).
Though this contradicts with the other storylines of T2 and T3 again: if Arnie was sent back in time by John, then it was NOT the same Terminator who killed him later, which’d erase the T3 storyline as guardian for Connors wife – unless these Terminator “skinjobs” are all the same, but then the guerillia army would know that and kill at first sight.
T3 wasn’t that great, even some logical errors if you think about it (and way too greatly differing technology if you look at that – why couldn’t the first Terminator pull such stunts as all others if they’re basically from the “same time” – cause time is no issue if we look at the fact that the future is still the same and the T’s know what’s going on) but it had a logical ending resulting into T1 again and confirms what was said in Time Machine – you can’t change the past for the future.
It’s a different thing though if it’s an alternate universe (like they recently pull of with Predator vs Alien), but they sure have to stick to the script if it’s a sequel – and a 3 parter is just too much IMO.
