Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins Teaser Trailer Description
Ladies and gentlemen, buckle yourselves in as we journey into a teaser trailer description. Just minutes ago, AICN confirmed a spy's rundown of the Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins teaser that will be attached to The Dark Knight next month. Slashfilm is divided in our anticipation for this one, but I'll admit that the primary focus on Christian Bale, his fittingly epic, doomsayer voice-over and the Terminator appearance sound quite agreeable, and more importantly, faithful to canon. Here's the capper...
"We then get the big money shot of the trailer. Its Bale on a motorcycle with some girl on the back. They speed through a door of what looks like a warehouse toward us. As soon as they pass the screen, a huge terminator on wheels, a lot like the one they battle in the first one, smashes through the wall, chasing them. It looks awesome."
According to the spy, Bale's John Connor looks very similar in build and general appearance to his Bruce Wayne, possibly with noticeable battle scares and combat wear-and-tear. So, yeah, he looks like Christian Bale. The teaser reportedly has glimpses of several survivor camps, a war chest of firearms, quick shots of a helicopter, a "huge truck" and notably the foreboding Terminator theme is present throughout. Again, Connor's voice-over sounds particularly spot-on: "I always knew it could happen...They told me I could stop it...That I could save us...I was wrong."
Sure, it's not much, but we've all seen enough blockbuster previews to develop a pseudo Spidey-sense. Hopefully it impresses on screen. If so, it will be a suitably dark and enticing primer for Nolan's Batman sequel, the movie that looks to rule Summer '08, and a solid preamble for a risky new PG-13 Terminator trilogy from the director of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle.
