I’m in the weird position right now of reporting on something I can’t really write much about. Earlier this year I visited the set of Terminator: Salvation and saw everything. Everything. Every new design and set and character and everything. A lot of it was exceptionally cool – if you guys saw what I saw and didn’t know McG was directing this film, it would be one of your most anticipated 2009 releases, hands down.
Now much of what I saw has been revealed via what looks like a special feature for the T4 DVD. The video is called The Art of Martin Laing, and it’s a look at the really nice concept art and designs that Laing (an incredibly cool guy who I have run into on a number of set visits now. We’re like old buddies!) created for the film, and how they’re brought to life.
You get to see the motorcycle Terminators, which are ejected from a 70 foot tall Harvester Terminator. There are also peeks at other robots that I can’t explain any more without breaking my embargo.
I don’t know how long this video will be available, so head over to Jalopnik to see it (thanks to RJ for the heads up). Start getting a little bit excited for the movie – if nothing else, I think this is going to be a great, exciting summer blockbuster with scope and size.

I really think it looks badass.
I've got my reservations about the ending that we all heard about… But, I've got really good feelings about it. I think they'll be able to pull it off!
Yeeeeaaahhh… no.
I'm excited about this one. But then, I liked T3. A smaller, less "urgent" Terminator movie, to be sure, but it had it's moments, especially the downer ending. Hopefully this new one will kick it up a notch.
That looked pretty awesome. I wish they'd just skip the theatrical run and put this fucker on DVD. Since I no longer like going outside.
Basically, (rubs bright red bloodshot eyes) they need to expand the opening of T2 to feature length and get us to know the soldiers fighting the war against the machines. And, this is not an insult, but the Terminator concept needs to break free from the boundaries of time travel convention. The ending of T3 is the first step of that with Connor's reluctant acceptance of the war as inevitable.
I don't care how cool it looks. If it's not a hard-R, it will be total utter shit.
