Not much to say, other than it's being directed by McG.

    The trailer for T3 kind of turned me off, never ended up seeing it (except in parts). I'm a huge T fan too. This teaser, well it kind of piqued my interest actually.

    Christian Bale FTW.
    I hope it turns out good.

    Personally, I think Christian Bale is taking a huge risk with this one as I've grown to view him as the younger generation's equivalent to De Niro with films like The Machinist, American Psycho & The Prestige under his belt.

    However on that same token, perhaps his performance as Connor (who I've always hated as a character in the past) could be what allows this franchise to bow out gracefully rather than crash and burn as it has been with T3 and that god awful series.

    I think I'll enjoy it. Because this is the film I've been waiting for since seeing the beginning of the original Terminator.

    I thought t3 was great. tons of action and a sweet ass ending.

    looking forward to salvation, christian bale is on a roll right now.

    Agreed! It didn't feel like I just saw a teaser to the film, it was more like I had a corrupted download of an actual trailer.
    However, I'm a huge Bale and Terminator fan, so I'll definitely enjoy this movie (or so I hope).

    Is this really the guy they want handling the next Terminator film?

    "His films (as director) include Charlie's Angels, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and We Are Marshall. His television series include Fastlane, The O.C., Supernatural, Chuck and Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search For the Next Doll."

    Nothing to see here. Move along.

    "...He is also due to start work on an American version of Spaced, but without the consent or contribution of the original makers Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright or Jessica Stevenson; it will follow the same basic concept of the English version, but has been derided by fans of the original series for this lack of involvement from the creators."

    What is the point? Is the English series so obtuse that American audiences can't grasp it?

    I'm curious to see what happens here. This guy's resume is filled with music videos for Sugar Ray, Barenaked Ladies, Fastball, and the Charlies Angels remakes...

    Somebody should ask teletubbies creator Andrew Davenport to direct the next Star Trek film.

    Seriously though, I'm optimistic, as Bale has a solid track record in not choosing shitty movies. Even some of his less-than-successful films (Rescue Dawn, anyone?) were still good on their own merits.

    Ugh.. didn't know it was directed by the Charlie's Angels guy... I just lost 25% interest in seeing it. (Haven't seen We Are Marshall, even though I live pretty close to Marshall.)

    I just hope it better than the last one. Why doesn't James Cameron direct this? That trailer blows!!!

    because James Cameron finished telling the Terminator story with T2. Arnold only did T3 because Cameron told him to do it and get the paycheck.

    So Warner Bros made the future be crap with the 3rd movie. :D The rise of the machine was rather in the 3rd movie was sooo.....Now who is going to save us from this. Seems interesting maybe it will be better than the last one because if it isn't, damn it takes a lot of talent to be that BAD!

    The trailer itself wasn't that cool, but I liked that it didn't reveal much. It makes me somewhat curious about it. Christian Bale seems like he would make a great John Connor. It will never be better than T2 but I think it will be better than T3.
