IGN watches exclusive footage and talks to McG about the ending and sequels.

Yesterday evening IGN was invited to a special “roadshow” event for the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins in Leicester Square, London. We were shown some world exclusive footage from the movie, but before that we were present for an in-depth Q & A with the enthusiastic director of the movie, McG. Here are some of his more interesting comments:

(Warning: Spoilers Follow)

Why another Terminator?

“Initially, I didn’t want to do it. I was not that excited by the idea of a fourth Terminator movie, I thought, ‘Why flog a dead horse?’ Especially when James Cameron did such a great job on the first few films.

“I then started thinking about the film, how would be set after the nuclear apocalypse wrought by Cyberdyne at the end of the last movie and would have a ‘post-nuclear apocalypse look’ that was only alluded to in the previous films. This made think the film might be more interesting… maybe!” Read the rest of this entry »

The new Terminator movie will “reinvigorate the franchise”, Hollywood director McG has promised at a preview of footage in central London.

The film-maker also said the film, Terminator Salvation, would “push the envelope” with its hi-tech visual effects.

Set in 2018 in the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust, the film depicts a “dirty, gritty, difficult” world in which human survivors are preyed upon by lethal robots.

Batman actor Christian Bale plays John Connor, leader of the resistance against the cyborg army.

“When he came on board I knew we had the chance to do something special,” the director told reporters.

Other cast members include Bryce Dallas Howard, Australian Sam Worthington and Anton Yelchin, soon to be seen in the new Star Trek film. Read the rest of this entry »

 

The director of Terminator: Salvation left a prank message on Christian Bale’s phone during the first ever screening of footage from the film.

McG hosted the world’s first preview screening of six to seven minutes of footage from the unfinished film at London’s Vue West End and told the audience he had arranged to call Christian, who plays John Connor, during the screening.

One guest said: “McG told us he was dialling Christian’s number but he got voicemail. He left a message saying he was in the cinema with us and that we were all excited and he held up his iPhone so we could scream down the phone to Christian.

“Then he jokingly told Christian he had told us all he was moody, and hung up.”

McG also rubbished rumours circulating on the internet about the ending of the new film, the fourth Terminator movie. Read the rest of this entry »
