Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series (Ep. 1 Preview)

Two years before the events of Terminator Salvation, Resistance fighter Blair Williams embarks on a deadly mission to eradicate a technological threat that is weakening the Resistance's ability to fight a deadly A.I. called Skynet and its lethal array of Terminator machines.

The Resistance is the last hope for survival. Commanded by the remnants of a decimated military system, resistance fighters battle the machines of Skynet day and night without quitting. Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) is one of these fighters. Blair is in her early 30's and is old enough to remember a normal life but vital enough to learn how to fight. She is highly skilled and superbly courageous - traits that often get her some of the hardest missions.

We meet Blair at the beginning of one of these missions. She has been sent into the heart of downtown Los Angeles, a known hot zone, to seek out and destroy something called "The Ghost" - a code name designated to a machine designed to interfere with Command's communications. The resistance knows that Skynet is ever evolving and this must be just another tactic to bring down the leadership. Without the ability to talk to each other, the Resistance would simply fracture and collapse. It was already starting to happen.

Terminator Salvation - Behind the scenes

McG tells us things about Terminator Salvation - Spoilers ahead.

McG was at WonderCon talking about Terminator Salvation. Sci Fi Wire have a whole host of spoilers that McG spilled. My favourite part is not really a spoiler. Just very good news:

"No, there's no chuckle," McG said in a group interview at WonderCon in San Francisco over the weekend. "There's very few chuckles in this movie. 'Talk to the hand,' Elton John glasses, that [has] no place in this movie. You know, [star Christian] Bale would have lit the set on fire. So, you know, we can't, we don't have that."

He then goes on to discuss the title and gives us some news about Sam Worthington's character which is not really that much of a secret. However, spoilers ahead just incase.

"We start this picture with Marcus [Sam Worthington] committing a rather substantial infraction. In fact, he's ultimately put to death, which is how he ends up with some metal rods in his body. And he learns that people—he doesn't believe that—but he learns from hanging out with these people that everybody deserves a second chance. Look around this table—where would any of us be without a second chance? You know what I mean? And he's slow to understand that, but that's effectively the expression of salvation, and that's why we elected that to be the title of the picture. ..."

Interesting stuff and confirmation of what many of us already knew.

He was then asked about what John Connor means when he said "This is not the future my mother told me about."

"The future being malleable, no fate but what we make? Well, the point being she told him everything she could tell him about the future, and we've only been given the clues that the T-800s will indeed be there in 2029, and what's going on with this movie, that speaks to "This is not the future my mother told me about," guys, I don't know what to tell you, ... is the coming of the T-800 ahead of schedule. It'd be like all of us sneaking into Hitler's Nazi Germany and saying, "There's a bunch of V-2 rockets with nuclear tips, we better haul ass back to Allied Command and tell them this is a serious game-changer. If these things go online, we've got a major, major problem." So that's the future that my mother never told me about. The fact that, you know, here comes the T-800 10 years prior to 2029, and we don't have our act together to a high enough degree to fight them with any effectiveness."

It will be interesting to see why the future has changed. Was it Arnie's travels in previous films? Marcus arriving on the scene? A scripwriter smoking too much pot?

McG then goes on to discuss Kyle Reece's character as played by Anton Yelchin.

"..this is a story about Michael Biehn's character Kyle Reese as played by Anton: seeing that people make sacrifices so that others may live. He witnesses that act at the end of the movie, and it's a precursor to "Hey, 10 years from now there's going to be a moment when they sit around and go, 'We need someone to go back and save Sarah Connor, and by the way, if you go back, you can never return to this world. Say goodbye to the ones you love, say goodbye to [everything]. Once you go back, that's it. It's curtains.'" And he, of course, you know, indeed dies as well. And as a function of what he saw first-hand in this film, he has the courage at that moment to say, "I'll go. I'll go." And this is why he became that guy. Which I like very much. ..."

What intrigues me the most about this last bit is when McG says, " he indeed dies as well." Is that a slip of the tongue or confirmation that the age old rumour that John Connor dies in this and has his skin placed on the Marcus robots endoskeleton? I'm just reading too much into that aren't I.

There you go. Still quite a bit over on Sci Fi Wire for you to have read. What do you make of McG's words? Any ideas as to what is going to happen in the film? Go crazy with any ideas you may have.

As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

Terminator Salvation - Sneak peek at the preview

Later today, Entertainment Tonight will be premiering a sneak peek at the new Terminator Salvation movie trailer which is attached to Watchmen.

In the meantime ET has this sneak preview of what the new trailer will show.

It includes the Moto-Terminators in action, John Connor battling it out with a T-800 terminator, Connor kissing his wife Kate (Bryce Dallas Howard) and a brief PG-rated glimpse at the now infamous Moon Bloodgood “topless in the rain” scene.

It is rumoured that this latter scene is being used to make sure the film gets an R rating. Surely ultraviolent death spewing robots would have been enough for that?

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li - New Japanese poster for Kristen Kreuk starrer

Not the most exciting of posters for a movie based on a beat 'em up video game. This one is from Japan. It doesn't really give us any idea what the final movie is going to be like and is Kristen Kreuk (Smallville) that big a star to have just her face on the poster? It's usually people like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, George Clooney etc who get that sort of treatment.

Apparantly the film will follow Chun-Li embarking on a quest for justice. It also stars Neal McDonough (Tin Man) as M.Bison, Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation, Journeyman, Day Break - an actress who appears to like starring in things dealing with time travel) as Maya, Michael Clarke Duncan (Daredevil, Sin City, The Last Mimzy) as Balrog and someone called Taboo as Vega.

To me this sounds like it is going to be a great big steaming pile of hoop. What's your thoughts on this?
