Terminator Salvation Clip Unveiled At Comic-Con - Yeah, Vids!
SAN DIEGO - “Terminator Salvation” won’t hit theaters until next summer, but thousands of fans got an early look at a portion of the film Saturday.
Director McG presented never-before-seen footage during a Comic-Con panel and offered a few hints about what to expect from the highly anticipated fourth installment in the “Terminator” franchise.
For example, Arnold Schwarzenegger could be back.
“The T-800 model indeed is part of the mythology of Terminator,” McG said coyly, referring to the machine model California’s governor played in the first three films.
James Cameron, who directed the first two “Terminator” films, and special-effects master Stan Winston, who died in June, also each had a hand in the film, McG said, adding that Winston made a cameo appearance.
“He wrestles one of the hydrobots,” the director said.
The movie, now shooting in New Mexico, could end up with an R rating rather than the rumored PG-13, McG revealed.
“We put the picture first at all times,” he said. “If it’s an R-rated picture, it’s an R-rated picture and that’s that.”
He acknowledged that the studio is responsible for some of the online rumors.
“We release, like everyone else does, misinformation campaigns,” McG said. “One of the joys of going to the movies is not knowing what’s going to happen.”
The brief clip shown Saturday was filled with explosions, tanks, gas masks, guns and crushed skulls.
Set in 2018, the film is dark and apocalyptic, “exploring what the world is like after a nuclear holocaust,” the director said. “We wanted everything to feel like giant Soviet tanks crushing all comers.”
“Terminator Salvation,” a Warner Bros. release, is set to hit theaters in May.

I want a new Robocop. When I was little, the movie Robocop made me wanna be a cop.
July 26th, 2008 at 6:40 pm5.22.2009AD … I … AM … THERE.
And this time there better be no shooting of just knee caps!
I would imagine to make this movie slightly realistic, it would be the red-blooded conservatives and Republicans that actually fight the machines … correct?
July 26th, 2008 at 6:41 pmDoes it mean I’m gay if the thrill went “down” my leg?
July 26th, 2008 at 6:41 pmOR does that mean I just peed in my pants?
July 26th, 2008 at 6:42 pmThank’s for the Belly Laugh.
July 26th, 2008 at 6:46 pmMy “non-gay” remark was meant in regards to the Chris Matthews/Hussein crush …
Now … I’m just a dame, but …
Is MY understanding YOUR thrill is supposed to go DOWN your leg … and UP [my] leg?
I’m just sayin’ …

July 26th, 2008 at 7:22 pmRobocop vs Terminator: wrestlemania
July 26th, 2008 at 7:27 pmI could never figure out how robo cop never got shot, in the unprotected part of his face.
An Obama bot? Shit, that would be a G rated movie that would run about 3 minutes … he would declare defeat and cut the power to all the other robots.
