Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins

[Gaddabout]

Gad - if they're going for a keg of hip, someone should tell they can't actually use the time machines used in the Terminator movies to go back to 2001 to get McG because that was the last time he was hip.

I wasn't sure what his hipness quotient was these days. Hollywood operates on their own calendar. What's cool in Tinseltown today won't be cool in Arizona for another three years. Poor North Dakota. They're just now discovering "dancing baby."

Seriously, if you were producer on this movie, would you peg McG for your big-budget action flick? Isn't he doing Chuck? That's the kind of stuff I think of with him. It's a little like asking Oliver Stone to direct Toy Story 3.

McG was hip?

Was that before or after Charlie's Angels?

post-Charlie's 1 and then never again.

 

[ozzfloyd]

Anyone that would want to go by an acronym cannot, by definition, be hip. Ever.

McG should stick to TV. Supernatural and Chuck (which he is executive producer) are good shows.

Film?? Not so much. Last good film..We Are Marshall.

Is Josh Brolin the New Terminator?

February 6, 2008

In a new interview with The Two-One-Three, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins director McG hinted that No Country for Old Men star Josh Brolin might play the new Terminator opposite Christian Bale's John Connor.

"We're prepping the picture right now. The script is largely done, whether or not we're able to prep off of it, obviously we want to continue to work on it, punch it up and we're hoping for an expedient finish to the writer's strike. But I've got my fingers crossed that in a week or two it will be over," McG said.

He added that the fourth film will take place "post Judgment day. So there really is no continuation, you know what I mean? Its sort of a different animal, whereas the first pictures are Terminators from the future, this picture takes place in 2019."

There's been rumors that John Connor will only be a small part in the film. Not so, says McG. "John Connor's a major player in it - Christian Bale's playing that part."

Asked who his "dream Terminator" would be? McG revealed, "...And there's guys out there like Russell Crowe and Eric Bana, bring a good physicality, they do what they do, but I don't know if they're exactly right at the end of the day. (Smiles) Josh Brolin is a very exciting actor - we'll see."

Not at all. No.

He made some movie where he was a gang banger or something, and I very easily said 'no' to that movie as well.

Only really good Bale performance IMO was Empire of the Sun. He hasn't been good since he was 12.

Worthington to Star in Terminator

Sam Worthington will star in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, reports Variety.

The fact the Australian actor just played the lead in the James Cameron-directed Avatar is no coincidence, added the trade. Cameron recommended Worthington to "Terminator Salvation" director McG, indicating that the director of the first two "Terminator" installments might be warming to the new pic.

Worthington will play the role of Marcus, a central figure in a three-picture arc that begins after Skynet has destroyed much of humanity in a nuclear holocaust. A group of survivors led by John Connor (Christian Bale) struggles to keep the machines from finishing the job.

Variety says McG spoke on the phone recently with Cameron, who is in New Zealand working on Avatar. It was during that chat that he recommended Worthington, who in Avatar plays a paraplegic war veteran from Earth who's brought to another planet inhabited by a race of humanoids at odds with Earth's inhabitants.

"Terminator Salvation" is targeting a summer 2009 release.

According to BBC News, Christian Bale is to play rebel leader John Connor in three sequels to the "Terminator" franchise, starting with Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.



"He's really an actor's actor, so we're very proud," said Victor Kubicek of film company Halcyon.

"Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky," Kubicek told the BBC at the Cannes Film Festival.

"But with Batman he's already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren't sure he'd respond."

Luckily, said Kubicek's business partner Derek Anderson, "he read the script and he loved it, so he's signed on for all three."

Is it just me, or does Kickinger look more than a bit like Bolo Yeung (in this picture, anyway)?
