McG Talks T5
Terminator Salvation director McG was out and about promoting the upcoming television series “Human Target” and he ended up answering a lot of questions about a Terminator 5 movie which, by all accounts, is happening sometime in the not-to-distant future. To check out the entire interview with IGN.com, click HERE. These are some of the highlights:
-we’re working on it….Warners is excited about it. Sony is excited about it. And we can’t wait to get back at it and show the world what becomes of that war and how we master time travel because we stayed away from time travel in Salvation and I missed it. We decided it was the right thing to do and we did a lot of things right in that movie and we did many things wrong in that movie. And we’ll learn from the experience and we’ll grow and I think the next movie is going to be even more exciting and a better film.
-the idea is to play with one of the tried and true rules of the franchise – time travel – and introduce it in this picture. I don’t want to share too much, but let’s just say it’s very, very likely that John Connor is going to end up running through rooms like this where he knows something that none of us know.
-we’ll have a much more clearly defined antagonist in the new picture. It will be more of a chase movie with a new Terminator that is on your ass.
-we have the great Christian Bale, but I take a lot of satisfaction in playing a role in breaking the great Sam Worthington, who I think is one of the best actors out there.
There have already been rumours that the next Terminator will take place in London in 2011 so it looks like John Connor might be running through England with some kind of Terminator chasing him. Sounds too like both Christian Bale and Sam Worthington will be back in the mix. The movie is probably a few years away from happening with McG working on an adaptation of the Broadway musical Spring Awakening next and then 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. But it looks like he’s getting a clear idea where he wants to go with the next Terminator movie and it sounds like he plans on going back to a more similar storyline that we saw in the first three movies. At this point, it might be the smart thing to do.
Night at the Museum 2 Tops Box Office
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian starring Ben Stiller was the top movie at the box office from Friday to Sunday earning an estimated $53.5 million. That tops the original which opened in December 2006 with $30.4 million on its way to $250 million at the domestic box office.
Failing to live up to the hype, Terminator Salvation opened in 2nd place with a disappointing $43 million. The movie, starring Christian Bale and Sam Worthington, has earned $56.3 million since opening Thursday.
In 3rd place for the weekend was Star Trek. The movie, starring Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto, earned another $21.9 million bringing its 3-week total to $183.5 million.
Falling to 4th spot was Angels & Demons starring Tom Hanks with $21.4 million. The sequel to The Da Vinci Code has earned $81.5 in 2 weekends of release.
Opening in 5th place was the comedy Dance Flick with $11.1 million.
Next weekend’s new releases include Disney/Pixar’s Up and Sam Raimi’s Drag Me to Hell.
Stay tuned tomorrow for 4-day Memorial Day weekend totals. For more information, check out our Box Office results.
Movie Review: Terminator Salvation
Terminator Salvation takes us to the year 2018, in the years after Judgement Day, when the robots have taken over the world. An army of Terminators, controlled by the artificial network Skynet, roam the earth, kidnapping and/or killing all humans in sight. Many of the remaining human survivors have banded together to form the Resistance, a desperate group who relentlessly fight the seemingly indestructable machines. Among the survivors is John Connor (Christian Bale), a man whose life goal has always been to save humanity and stop the machines. Unfortunately for Connor, the human casualties just seem to be multiplying and he must find a way to stop Skynet as it continues to evolve and develop new tactics to destroy mankind once and for all. Terminator Salvation also stars Sam Worthington as an ex-con named Marcus Wright, as well as Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Helena Bonham Carter and many more. Read more
Another Terminator Salvation Poster
Another movie poster for Terminator Salvation is now online via IGN. Pretty much the same theme as all the recent posters that we’ve seen of the movie. I wonder if or how many more of these Warners has up their sleeves. Continue reading to check out the full poster. Read more
Another Terminator Salvation Poster
Worst Previews has a new poster for Terminator Salvation — and I’m not sure if I like it.
While I like the look of our robot friend who takes front and center, I’m not too sure about the zombie-like robots who appear to be following him. Zombie robots? Sounds like an interesting movie — but not a Terminator movie. Continue reading for a look at the full poster. Read more
