Terminator Salvation Teaser Trailer

T3 cost $200 million to make and made $150 million domestically.

But it did make $283 million in the foreign box office.

Domestically though, the franchise was dying with Arnie in it!
 
^ I agree. Arnie's presence in T3 did nothing to help that film. And let's face it, Arnie is far from a great actor. IMO it was the character of the Terminator/T-101 that was iconic, not necessarily his performance as it.
 
While it neeRAB to make some big improvements in the upcoming second season, I enjoyed The Sarah Connor Chronicles enough that I will continue watching. However, I'm not liking the idea of having to try and keep two different story paths in the same franchise!! Could they not have used one of the guys who played a T-800 in the series (I presume it was one in the series, it certainly looked exactly the same when it was just the endoskeleton), in the film too?
 
Yep Christian Bale is a fantastic actor (Dark Knight can't come quick enough!) and the trailor looks good. Guess they can't just tell the story as we know it, which looks promising. Like the trailor says... this is not the future my Mother told me about...
 
What do you make of the narrative:

"I knew it was comming. But this is not the future my mother warned me about. And in this future I dont know if we can win this war"


This would appear to sugest an alternate future (different to the one which lead to the events of the first movie).
 
I think the Sarah Connor Chronicles is alot more faithful to the first 2 movies than this will be. T3 was bad enough cos I thought the guy playing John Connor was rubbish and the storyline was not very good either. This looks even worse and Christian Bale does not fit the character of John Connor at all.
 
Alternate futures have always been part of the concept. Kyle mentions them in T1. The date of Judgement Day in the first movie doesn't match the date in the third. It's even possible that Kyle wasn't originally John's father.
 
Oh I'm aware of the alterante futures, I just wonder if the plot will openly aknowledge that events take part in an alternate timeline.

As for Kyle not being John's father, please let's not go down that road again, this was discussed to death in the TV show thread. As Maury would say: Kyle...YOU ARE THE FATHER!! :)
 
Wasnt that cleared up in T3.
John said to Arnie that he thought they stopped judgement day from happening. And Arnie replied that judgement day was inevitable.
They didnt stop it, they just postponed it.
 
I'm sorry but i just simply can't get excited about this.

I know it's a teaser but it looks sh**.

They should have just left it at Terminator 3 and continued on via the tv show.

I have absolutely no idea why Christian Bale is in this! He's already done Batman, leave it alone Bale! You're better than this! :D
