Terminator Salvation: first trailer released

17 July 2008

A trailer for the fourth Terminator movie, Terminator Salvation, is now online. You can watch it here. In this new instalment, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, and if all goes well, it will be the first part of a new trilogy. The teaser shows glimpses of Christian Bale in a series of explosions as he tells us in a sombre voice-over that "this is not the future my mother warned me about" and "I don't know whether we can win this war".

The trailer ends with the tag line: “The end begins”. I’m sure they’ve used this line in a dozen other big budget science fiction and fantasy movie releases in the last ten years.

Let's hope this one’s a big improvement on Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. The fact that Christian Bale is starring is extremely promising. As previously reported, Arnold Schwarzenegger won't be appearing this time around.

Terminator Salvation will be released 22 May 2009.
