Warner Bros. studios just launched the official website to “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins”, not much on there for now, but all there is, it’s just a blog by the director of the film McG.

While McG has been getting a lot of negativity and hate of him directing a Terminator movie because he directed “Charlie’s Angels”, fans thinks he’s going to ruin the Terminator franchise, but after reading McG’s open letter to Terminator fans, I’m getting more interested in seeing the next one.

McG has been getting help from James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger on how to make a real Terminator film. So if McG is getting help from them, the movie will have a chance to be a real good one after all.

Also just because the film will be getting  PG-13 rating doesn’t mean the film is gonna bad either. The Terminator films will be successful no matter what ratings the film are in.

Remember the TV series “The Sarah Connor Chronicles”? That show is coming back for a 2nd season for a reason because the 1st season was such a hit that the 1st season hit big TV ratings. Arnold wasn’t in the “Sarah Connor Chronicles” TV show, so if that TV show can go on without Arnold and become hugely successful, so can the movie Terminator 4.

We all know T-4 will never top “T-2: Judgement Day” but T-4 will be fun and entertaining. I’m liking the idea of the next three Terminator films taking place in the future instead of our time. A futuristic Terminator film would rock.

As far as McG directing the “Charlie’s Angels” sequels, both of them films did have action scenes in them, so the guy does have experience in direction action scenes. With James Cameron and Arnold helping out McG in T-4, then this film will not dissapoint. I’m sure of it.

Lots of new Terminator 4 news over the week. Reports say that McG will begin filming “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Christian Bale signs on to 3 more Terminator films to be part of a new Terminator trilogy. Warner Bros. finally unleash the official Terminator 4 plot/synopsis.

Here’s the synopsis to “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” here:

“In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. 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.”

Reports also say that a new actress has been signed to play Kate Connor, taking over Claire Danes from “Terminator 3”. The new Kate Connor is Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Doesn’t sound too bad.

I still think the PG-13 rating is dissapointing and it’s just a cover up to get more people to see it and because no Arnold in it.

I’ll still wait for a teaser trailer first in order to make my decision on whether to see this in theater or not.

Filming is starting this week for “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” set for release May 22nd 2009 and the film makers want to make it a PG-13 rating to make the next Terminator film more family friendly. This move was inspired after the release of “Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard”. They actually think T-4 will be a more successful film being a family film.

Well, look like I won’t be seeing this in theater. First no Arnold, then the PG-13 rating. Just two reasons that the film will bomb, big time. Nobody wants to see a Terminator movie with less violence and no swearing. Sorry but that’s the truth.

This movie blog at UGO is reporting that Terminator 4 that McG is directing the rumours are going strong that Warner Bros. could be canning the project.

More on it here….

Please god lets hope it’s true! A Terminator film without Arnold is travesty. T-4 will bomb without him no matter who is in it. I wouldn’t care if they shut down this film. Let it be 3 Terminator films only or wait for Arnold to be done being governor so he can star the lead in the next three. There can not be a Terminator film without Arnold. It just doesn’t work.

If this happens, good riddance!
