Terminator 4
The next installment in the Terminator series will be hitting theaters in the Spring of 2009, and the studio has released the first trailer that gives you some idea of what we'll be seeing. The director, a fellow known as "McG", cast Brit Christian Bale, hot off the second Batman flick, as John Connor.
The trailer features lots of explosions and killer robots, as well as Bale's Dark Knight-esque gravelly delivery. Interestingly, there's a hint that the constant time-traveling battling between the Resistance and the Skynet warriors in the present has changed the apocalyptic future -- perhaps not for the better.
Presupposing the trailer doesn't feature the best two minutes of a two-and-a-half-hour turkey, it looks like it might be a worthy addition to the series ... although I'm always suspicious of a Hollywood type who goes by a douchetastic, first-name-only moniker -- and the only thing worse than dropping your last name in the pursuit of showbiz cool is dropping everything but the first few letters.
McG?
Puh-lease.

I met McG when I was working at the Post Production company. He was a music video director who worked his way up to TV and feature films. Nice guy. I like what he did with the Charlie's Angel's remakes but I don't know how this movie is going to pan out.
