Studio Warner Bros seems to have given 2009 the much awaited kickstart by locking their ambitious sequel TERMINATOR SALVATION: The Future Begins for Memorial Day Weekend. The film is set for a release on May 22 which will see it squaring off with yet another sequel - Fox's Night at The Museum II: Escape From the Smithsonian. Yeah, whatever!
This flick, the 4th in the series, will kick off another trilogy of sorts, and will see Christian Bale taking on the role of John Connor.
But how in the world did McG land with the directorial duties of this one. Certainly the MTV style McG of Charlie's Angels fame does not look like the right guy for the job! I mean if that is the route McG wants, then I think an actor like Bale is not the man to be hanging around the sets either. Hey, McG -why not pick up Dwayne Johnson instead?
Seriously...McG??? Are the guys at the studios really given it a thought?
Ok, has McG given this installment a thought? Yes he has, it seems. This is what he had to say about the film.
"It's very much in keeping what the studio has done with Batman. We're respectful of the first pictures in creating a new language, while honoring the mythology, and I felt it would be a great time to play upon some of the [Isaac] Asimov ideas, some of the Phillip K. Dick ideas. It felt like a good time to tell a story about humanity and what it means to make us all human."
And as far the plot is concerned, this is what the makers had to reveal during the early stages -
It's post-apocalyptic. It's set after the events of [Terminator 3: Rise Of The Machines], where we see the nuclear exchange at the end of the movie, and we show what the world is like after this event, and we show how people try to deal in a post-apocalyptic world. And we introduce a new character, who becomes very important to the resistance and to John Connor, a new hero. It's really about the birth of a new hero
So getting back to Bale - Batman vs Terminator, hmmm?
