The first of a new trilogy of “Terminator” movies open this summer with “Terminator Salvation”, with McG stepping in for James Cameron and Batman himself assaying the part of resistance leader John Connor. In the first movie, Connor hasn’t risen to the role of leader yet, but we all know that’s just a matter of time. Here’s the new trailer for the movie, including new posters and images that were recently released.
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.
Starring Christian Bale, Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington, Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood, Common, Jadagrace, and Helena Bonham Carter. McG directs.
The machines march May 1, 2009.
