New Terminator Salvation Pics

A whole stack of very cool concept art from the upcoming Terminator Salvation film fell onto the internet today. This is the film starring Christian Bale as John Connor with proper Terminators that are mean and don't have nervous breakdowns like certain Terminators on a certain TV show do.

The designs stick pretty close to James Cameron's original designs with the "old model" T600 terminator looking very cool indeed. The motorbike design concept is just too stupid for me to even start thinking about commenting on while the giant robot is cool but ultimately silly.

Still looking forward to the film though which is due for release mid 2009.

While we're talking concept art and movies there are a few new Watchmen posters out today showing some of the characters in their outfits.

New Terminator Movie Might Actually Be Good

Putting memories of the not-so-good Terminator 3 aside I have some interesting news on the upcoming Terminator 4, or Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins to be more precise.

Movieweb is reporting on a blog update over at the production's website from visual effects superviser Charles Gibson who talks about the challenges he's facing working with McG and how this film is going to be quite energetic.

If you saw the flashback sequences in The Sarah Connor Chronicles episode Dungeons & Dragons you might get an idea of what we're in store for where the world of the future glimpsed in past Terminator movies is the setting for the entire film.

This will be the first non-Arnie Terminator film but don't forget that Christian "Batman" Bale is playing John Connor so when May 22, 2009 rolls around make sure you have the cash to see Avatar and Termi 4.
