"Do you think that he would love the person that you are now... or not?" Gravitas Ventures has revealed an official trailer for Better Days, an indie comedy about grief and self-discovery. This recently premiered at the Cinéfest Sudbury Film Festival in Canada, and it's set for a VOD debut in December. Not to be confused with the acclaimed 2019 Chinese film also titled Better Days. After her husband dies, a woman starts to do whatever she wants and begins wearing her husband's Halloween costumes. When her children order her to go back to being her old self, she must decide whose happiness matters most in a delightful comedy about starting over & figuring yourself out before it's too late. The film stars Sonja Smits as Kate in the lead role, with Alix Sideris, Sara Hinding, Gregory Calderone, Blair Williams, Dean Armstrong, Sugenja Sri, and Luke Francis. Looks like a nice story...

When a flood of fake celebrity pornography generated by artificial intelligence (AI) technology surfaced on the internet earlier this year, most tech platforms were quick to ban these so-called deepfake clips. Folks at the adult entertainment company Naughty America, on the other hand, began looking into ways to make money with deepfakes.

This week, the company is launching a new service that allows customers to commission their own deepfake clips, which can include superimposing their own faces onto the bodies of porn performers, or incorporating porn stars into different environments. “We see customization and personalization as the future,” said the company’s CEO Andreas Hronopoulos in an interview with Variety.

Naughty America launched the new offering with a few clips that show off what the technology is capable of. In one instance, the company swapped out the face of porn performer Zoey Monroe with that of fellow performer Blair Williams.

Falling Skies star Moon Bloodgood (pictured above) is to make her European convention debut next month, meeting fans and signing autographs at McM London Comic Con, the UK’s biggest modern pop culture event.

Moon Bloodgood plays Anne Glass in post-apocalyptic sci-fi show Falling Skies, which returns for a fifth and final season later this year. Executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Falling Skies charts the human resistance’s struggle for survival in the chaotic aftermath of an alien attack that has left most of America in ruins. Serving in the 2nd Mass as their main combat doctor, Moon’s character Anne runs the medical unit together with Lourdes. She is also the mother of resistance leader Tom Mason’s Espheni-human hybrid daughter Lexi and acts as a maternal figure for his sons Hal, Ben and Matt.

Moon Bloodgood is also well known for fighting for another resistance group, taking on...

It’s no mistake that Olivia Wilde’s Quorra is featured prominently in promotion for “Tron: Legacy.” Amidst a sea of dazzling CGI images, her organic sexiness is a highlight.

But Wilde’s appearance as a beautiful program is more than just a nod to Cindy Morgan’s attractive turn as Yori in the original film, it’s also the latest instance of sexy femininity in sci-fi, a legacy that stretches back decades and encompasses everything from bikini-clad bounty hunters to pleasure robots.

Join us as we count down the 20 sexiest.

Terminator Salvation: Trial By Fire

Mass Market Paperback

By Timothy Zahn

Titan Books

Release Date: August 17, 2010

Have you been wondering what happened after Terminator Salvation? Are you waiting for the next movie? Well stop what your doing and go pick up Terminator Salvation: Trial By Fire. Trial By Fire not only continues the story, but also fills in the gaps and explains things that happened in the movie. All that and it's written by one of the most prolific Star Wars extended universe authors, Timothy Zahn. If that doesn't sell you on this book, I don't know what will.

Without spoiling the book, let me run down the basics of the story for you. There are four stories to follow which are all equally riveting. First you have Kyle Reese fighting to survive in a horrible situation underground. Next you have Blair Williams and Barnes investigating a lead...

Coming soon from our friends at Titan Books is Timothy Zahn's Terminator Salvation: Trial By Fire, a new story in the Terminator universe that carries on shortly after the latest film ends. We've got three copies to give away and one can be yours just by emailing me here and naming another famous big screen scifi series that Zahn has written novelizations for. Here's the official word on the new Terminator book:

From award-winning author Timothy Zahn, writer of the New York Times bestseller Terminator Salvation: From the Ashes, comes Terminator Salvation: Trial By Fire, a brand-new spin-off novel following on directly from the events of the film.

A recovering John Connor grants Barnes permission to return to the destroyed Vla lab and bury his brother, who was killed in the explosive opening of the movie.

 

At the ruins Barnes and pilot Blair Williams search through the...

I know this game came out a while ago but I just got around to playing it. I got distracted by Borderlands and Batman: Arkham Asylum. What can you do?

The game Terminator: Salvation acts as a prequel to the movie. John Connor is just assembling his crew of Blair Williams and Barnes played by Moon Bloodgood and Common in the movie. Both actors voice their characters in the game but, sadly, Christian Bale does not. The plot and the game itself are pretty basic. You play as John Connor and guide your team through a post-Judgment Day Los Angeles trying to find a group of survivors that are holed up at Eagle Rock: the Sky Net headquarters.

The game is extremely linear. Burned-out cars and debris form perfect pathways that guide you to the next checkpoint. You literally can’t go outside the lines. I found this to be frustrating and stupid.

There's a new indie on the way that I have a feeling you might want to see. It tackles a modern and relevant subject matter -- mass killings at educational institutions -- and it also boasts a cast that you probably never would have dreamed of. Variety reports that Maria Bello and Michael Sheen have wrapped production on an upcoming film called Beautiful Boy. But they're not the only ones attached to this feature. They star alongside Moon Bloodgood, Alan Tudyk, Kyle Gallner, Austin Nichols, and Meat Loaf.

Whether you love epic, karaoke-adored rock songs, dodgeballing pirates, geeky teen killers trying to axe Veronica Mars, Blair Williams, or a dude who can be a werewolf or a vampire, this indie definitely has the bases covered. Written by director Shawn Ku and Michael Armbruster, the film focuses on a married couple (Sheen and Bello) who are about to get separated when...

With Terminator: Salvation, two things are apparent: McG shouldn’t be underrated, and franchise filmmaking robs franchise films of anything challenging. Ts is the fourth entry in the Terminator canon, and it is the first of the franchise to be set during the future wars (usually shown in brief flashbacks) that fans had long clamored for. It also has a distinctive feature in that it’s the first film without the heavy participation of Arnold Schwarzenegger. My review of Terminator Salvation after the jump.

The film starts in the recent past (2003) when convict Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington) is being put to death and a researcher (Helena Bonham Carter) wants him to donate his body to science. Cut to 2018, and John Connor (Christian Bale) is part of the resistance fighting the evil Skynet and their terminators. Bale is introduced with a fairly impressive sequence that tries to emulate the one-shot wonders in Children of Men.

Previous Terminator films saw killer robots travel back in time to obliterate any human threat to a grim future ruled by machines.

In Terminator Salvation, out on DVD and Blu-ray in the UK today (Monday, November 23), we finally see that nightmarish future.

This fourth adventure in the franchise is an action-packed, post-apocalyptic war film set in 2018, in the wastelands that remain after supercomputer Skynet becomes self-aware and decides to reduce civilisation to cinders in a nuclear strike known as Judgment Day.

Terminator Salvation is both a prequel and a sequel, showing the future events prior to the time-travel missions that took place in the previous movies. So how does it shape up on Blu-ray?

Resistance fighter John Connor (Christian Bale, with a rasping voice) is seen by some survivors as a saviour and by others as a false prophet. He uncovers a research facility detailing plans to create an advanced...

You can take a new animated look at the world portrayed in a summer blockbuster this November. Terminator Salvation: The Machima Series will be released on DVD on November 15. The DVD of this 74-minute animated film will be priced at $12.97 Srp and you can take a look at the cover art and special features below. The animated film stars the voices of Moon Bloodgood, Cam Clarke, Jim Meskiman, Heather Halley and Dee Baker.

"My name is Blair Williams. I fight for the Resistance." The resourceful A-10 pilot from Terminator Salvation has her own story in this kick-'bot prequel filmed via the innovative Machinima process that turns video-game elements into a full-blown animated story. Moon Bloodgood reprises her T4 role, providing the voice of Williams as she takes on an explosive mission to track what or who is disrupting comm links during the Resistance's fierce guerrilla war against Skynet. T-600s emerge,...

Warner Home Video has announced that Terminator Salvation will be unleashed on Blu-ray and DVD December 1. Additionally, Terminator Salvation The MacHinima Series hits shelves on November 3. Directed by Charlie’S Angels’ McG, the fourth film in the futuristic franchise follows the aftermath of Judgment Day and the takeover by the machines. The leader of the Resistance, John Connor (The Dark Knight’s Christian Bale), is trying to stop Skynet’s plan to terminate mankind. As Connor rallies his underground fighters for battle, he realizes that to save the future he must rescue the man who will become his father Kyle Reese (Star Trek’s Anton Yelchin). But the most shocking discovery comes with the arrival of Marcus Wright (Avatar’s Sam Worthington), a mysterious loner from the past. The Blu-ray will be priced at $35.99; the DVD will have a Srp of $28.98. Here are the Blu-ray and DVD feature details:

Terminator Salvation...

The challenge with any prequel is slotting it into the world already set up by the previous movies: Do you create a whole new reality like Star Trek has done, or do you try to match existing continuity like X-Men Origins: Wolverine?

Although it's not without its flaws, Terminator Salvation opts for the latter and delivers an explosive, power-packed spectacle that fits neatly into the franchise. But can it safely utter the immortal words: 'I'll be back'?

As well as obvious homages such as a much-publicised appearance by Arnold Scharzenegger and the use of Linda Hamilton's voice on a tape recording, there are numerous other nods and winks to the previous movies.

While Christian Bale gives a reasonable but largely unmemorable performance as resistance leader John Connor, rising star Sam Worthington has a far more powerful presence as Marcus Wright, a death-row prisoner who donates his body to science...

It’s good to know that despite the nuclear apocalypse of Judgement Day, some of our human luxuries have survived in the grim future depicted in Terminator Salvation. Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) and Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard) have their Belstaff jackets, John Connor (Christian Bale) has his Oakley S.I. Assault boots and his Sherpa bomber jacket and there’s also a nifty gadget that we’ve spotted amid the machine-killing chaos – the Sony Vaio Vgn-UX1 as used by Connor to communicate with Marcus in the build-up to the movie’s action-packed climax.

Ultra Mobile PCs (UMPCs) are very much at the sharp end of modern technology and so they make a neat fit into the futuristic Terminator world of 2018. This one, the Sony Vaio Vgn-UX1XN marks Sony’s latest development in this burgeoning area and is a fantastic choice. At just 150×95 x 35mm...

There doesn’t seem much to recommend the future according to The Terminator movies. Their take on all things to come sees humans locked in an epic struggle with the machines set against a backdrop of a world ravaged by nuclear apocalypse. Mmm – can’t wait! However, there’s one iddy biddy shining light – the cool clothes as worn by the resistance fighters led by John Connor (Christian Bale) in Terminator Salvation. And one particular item has most certainly gotten our attention – the Belstaff Centaur jacket as seen on Sam Worthington’s Marcus Wright.

We’ve long been fans of Belstaff jackets turning up on the big screen (check out our top ten Belstaff movie jackets feature here) and they’ve done themselves proud with the Centaur. According to their website, the Centaur “is an ergonomic version of the legendary Belstaff three-quarter length jacket in vintage leather with patented Elastoseam...

The first thing I should probably do is explain exactly what machinima is. It’s a style of filmmaking that makes use of 3D graphics engines, the sort you see being used to power most modern video games. While machinima is typically a fan’s pursuit, some high-profile projects have been embraced by the originating development studio, such as Bungie Studios with Rooster Teeth’s “Halo”-inspired “Red Vs. Blue” series.

All of this means that what The Halcyon Company and Warner Bros are doing with “Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series” is completely unprecedented. For the first time, we have a machinima series produced in-house by a production company to coincide with the release of both a film and a tie-in video game. Moon Bloodgood’s Blair Williams character is the focus of the six-episode series (launched on May 18), which is set several years before the events of “Salvation.

By now you’ve had plenty of time to see “Terminator Salvation” the movie and play “Terminator Salvation” the game. But wait, there’s more! In an unheard-of display of synergy, Warner Bros and franchise owner The Halcyon Company have distinguished themselves by releasing the first officially studio-produced machinima spin-off series for a movie. If you don’t know what machinima is then you clearly haven’t been keeping up with your Red Vs. Blue.

This particular series focuses on Moon Bloodgood’s character, Blair Williams (as in the game, she lends her voice as well). It will run for six episodes — the first was released on May 18 — as Williams tracks a hacker known as “The Ghost.” The series relies entirely on in-game assets, and the production was overseen by “Salvation” director McG. Check out the video below for an inside look.

The executive producer behind the Terminator franchise talk about the new film, the video game, and the upcoming series starring Moon Bloodgood

Terminator Salvation opened today in theaters across the country. We caught up with the executive producer behind the operation, James Middleton, to talk about the film, the future of the franchise, Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo appearance, and the just released Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series, which stars Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams. This new animated drama is being co-produced by Middleton in association with McG, director of Terminator Salvation, and Machinima Inc. It is a six-part adventure that utilizes real time computer animation generated from the Terminator Salvation video game.

Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series is set against an original story written by Andy Shapiro and directed by Tor Helmstein. Fans will follow "Blair Williams" (voiced by Moon Bloodgood) on an action-packed journey that will reveal...

Not enough Terminator for one weekend? Well, I've got your answer. Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series. What you've got with this interesting effort are six original episodes that cover the time period between the video game and the film, and all created with the video game assets. It looks basically like you stepped inside the game engine and bent it to your will in order to put together a cinematic experience. Here are some snips from the press release, and a trailer and preview. The year is 2016. It has been thirteen years since Judgment Day, when the machines rose under the order of a self-aware artificial intelligence called Skynet. The human race is on the brink as Terminators hunt and destroy all remaining life. The Resistance is the last hope for survival. Commanded by the remnants of a decimated military system, resistance fighters battle the machines of Skynet day and night without quitting.

The 'Terminator' franchise, now in its fourth installment (not counting the just-canceled TV series Sarah Connor Chronicles) and having started way back in 1984, is like a killer robot that just won’t die. And even if it does, you can conveniently shake up the chronology and start the story over again. So here we are. There are some aspects of the hotly anticipated Terminator Salvation that might leave you feeling similarly cynical, but taken on the whole — and as a summer popcorn movie — it doesn’t disappoint.

After a mysterious prologue set in 2003, where a prisoner sentenced to death for murder agrees to donate his body to science, we’re catapulted to the year 2018. To say this future is grim would be gross understatement; by comparison, death row is dreamy. Los Angeles is a post-apocalyptic hell where small pockets of resistance are being systematically crushed (or worse, taken...

Chalked full of big loud action sequences, which are driven by a shallow storyline, Terminator Salvation is the kind of summer blockbuster that provides enough thrills and entertainment to keep you in your seat, but becomes instantly forgettable the moment you leave the theater. After three films, Salvation, which hails from director McG, moves the popular sci-fi franchise to the post-apocalyptic war between humans and machines, something we’ve only been teased with in the previous flicks and something fans have been clamoring for ever since James Cameron’s original opened in 1984. It’s 2018 and John Connor (Christian Bale) is a man many believe to be the savior of the world, as he leads the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. Connor is doing the best he can, sending out daily updates over the radio to other resistance fighters across the country as well as hearing words of encouragement from his mother,...

In 2003, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines fought desperately against the odds, tacking on a third installment without the guidance of an innovator like James Cameron, the absence of Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton), and the re-casting of John Connor (Nick Stahl). The battle ended in mostly disappointment, terminating a beloved science fiction franchise… for the time being.

Now, in the future, greed runs rampant through Hollywood offices as recycling machines churn out armies of sequels to destroy fond memories of the past. If only Cameron’s vision were real, maybe a robotic assassin could have traveled back in time to stop McG from making Terminator Salvation. Where is naked Arnold Schwarzenegger when you need him?

It’s clear the director is a fan of the first two Terminator movies through the inclusion of obvious references and familiar catch phrases, but it seems McG entirely missed the point about what makes Terminator and T2 great.

Christian Bale gets lost among the machines.

A lot of hard work has gone into "Terminator Salvation," the fourth installment of the time-shuffling robot-war series and the first since the 2003 "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" detoured the franchise into the realm of unintentional hilarity. Unlike the past films, the new one is set in the future — the one from which android assassin Arnold Schwarzenegger was dispatched a quarter-century ago to travel back to 1984 and terminate Sarah Connor, the soon-to-be mother of John Connor, who, in the future from which Arnold was dispatched, had grown up to be the leader of the human resistance forces battling the metallic minions of Skynet, the sentient computer entity that had taken over the world. Oh, and also to put a stop to Kyle Reese, who had likewise beamed in from the future for the purpose of becoming John Connor's father.

After reading this, you'll know more than Skynet.

Twenty-five years ago, a little-known actor named Arnold Schwarzenegger promised, "I'll be back." Now, a quarter-century later, his T-800 has indeed returned alongside some of the hottest actors in Hollywood.

And while a ticket and a bucket of popcorn are necessities as you head out to see "Terminator Salvation" this weekend, so is a firm grasp on all the minutiae behind the making of Hollywood's newest blockbuster. With that in mind, we once again present our patented MTV Cheat Sheet, filled with everything you need to know about "Terminator Salvation."

The Salvation of 'Terminator'

Talk of a fourth "Terminator" film dates all the way back to 1999, when "Rise of the Machines" was envisioned as one of two new films that would revive the franchise. As that poorly received film...

Terminator Salvation

Directed by: McG

Cast: Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Michael Ironside

Running Time: 1 hr 50 mins

Rating: PG-13

Release Date: May 21, 2009

Click here to read Nick Allen’s Top 7 Ultimate Christian Bale Roles

Plot: After Judgement Day and in the year 2018, Skynet and all of its terminator toys are trying to kill all the people left on Earth. John Connor (Bale) must fulfill his destiny and try to save Kyle Reese (Yelchin). A man (Worthington) from the past is thrown into the situation, simply trying to make sense of all the destruction around him.

Who’s It For? For those that are sad about “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” getting cancelled, here’s your only hope for Terminator to live on. Plus there’s some big, eye-popping explosions. There is a ton of shooting, but nothing overly violent, so it’s a well-deserved PG-13 rating.

In one of the many conspiracy theories in my crazy mind, the scenario where Google and Apple merge to form Skynet is probably the most realistic. The new film Terminator Salvation will no doubt re-assure me that in the future, evil robots with the glowing eyes will not only have machine guns for arms, but also know my search history from when I was in 11th grade. As for my place in the future, I’ll be in the cave, telling the youngsters how I should have paid more attention to the Terminator franchise back in the day. In particular I might tell them about Machinima.com's Terminator Salvation Machinima Series of summer 2009. I’d point out that since it was the first machinima series to be produced with a major studio (Warner Brothers) and one of the first to feature ultra high production values, it was a potential turning...

Following in the footsteps of The Animatrix, Batman: Gotham Knight, and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, the producers of Terminator Salvation have launched their own animated prequel this week. However, instead of using traditional animation, they've taken a different (and much more cost-effective approach) to create Terminator Salvation: The Machinima Series. This is a web series consisting of six animated episodes that were created using the video game engine for the upcoming Terminator Salvation video game. The story focuses on Blair Williams (played by Moon Bloodgood, who also provides her voice for this series), and her involvement in John Connor's resistance movement. Looking at some of the preview footage, I can't say I'm all that impressed. Video game cinematics rarely match the quality of feature film CG animation (and understandably so), but on top of that the story doesn't seem very important or compelling either (especially considering that...

In the "Information Age," what is more valuable than insight? Imagine the possibilities if you could see the future. But would you really want that knowledge?

The stars of Terminator Salvation were recently asked if they would like to know the future and some of their answers were surprising:

The film's star, Christian Bale, said:

Of course I would want to hear about it. I'm not sure how I'd be able to handle it, but who wouldn't? I would, actually. I would love to hear it. Sam Worthington, who plays a human-Terminator hybrid in the film, said:

Not particularly, no. I think the best thing about living on this big ball of mud is that we don't know what's going to happen. We don't even know why we're here. So having that kind of knowledge of what's to come, I think, is quite frightening. I like seeing where this adventure takes me.

Christian Bale

It's always a pleasure to talk to Christian Bale. But the last time I spoke with him was for "The Prestige."

Since then, lots of dramas swirled around the actor's life.

So I, made him laugh :happy

We talked about:

*** Why make another "Terminator" film

*** What's his fresh take on the character John Connor

*** Working with Sam Worthington

*** And the big one -- I told him he's not my man-crush anymore, Sam is :happy

Sam Worthington -- The Heart Of The Film!!!

I Love Sam Worthington! He's a fantastic actor, and a charming, super-sweet individual!

He said he watches my videos on youtube...so Mister Sam...are you watching? :happy

In Terminator Salvation, Sam plays Marcus Wright, a new Terminator-hybrid.

“Terminator Salvation” may not hit theaters until the end of the week, but MTV has you covered if you want to get your post-apocalypse on just a little bit early. You’ve probably seen portions of the five clips featured below in various trailers and TV spots, but here you get some unbroken, raw footage pulled straight from the film.

Starting us off is Anton Yelchin, shedding his thick Russian accent and barely pubescent charm from “Star Trek” to deliver Michael Biehn’s iconic (and oft-repeated) Kyle Reese utterance from the first movie: “Come with me if you want to live.” Yelchin of course plays a younger Reese in the film, long before a trip to the past inadvertently turns him into the father of humanity’s savior.

Terminator Salvation director McG cut a "beautiful" topless shot of Moon Bloodgood out of the action blockbuster - even though the stunning actress was thrilled with the scene.

The Charlie's Angels director thought the shot would add a little tenderness and understanding about Bloodgood's character Blair Williams - but it just seemed out of place when McG was cutting the film together in the editing suite.

He tells WENN, "We tried to echo that scene in (film) Witness where Kelly McGillis turns around and says, 'I'm not ashamed. I know that I'm raised in a puritanical fashion and this is who I am but I trust you, Harrison Ford, so let's have a moment' - and they never even touch.

"We had a scene opposite Sam Worthington's character that sort of echoed that but it ended up feeling like, 'Here's the topless scene in a genre picture' - and it felt gratuitous.

"I didn't want people to have a reason to say, 'I can't take this film that seriously. They're still playing grab ass and the film's made by a bunch of teenagers who just want the boob shot.' So we ultimately left it out.

"Moon would be the first to say she thought it was beautiful. I mean one of the things that the Resistance (in the film) is fighting for is the softness of the flesh. It's the defining characteristic of the difference between us and machines."...

Judgment Day has come and gone, leveling modern civilization. An army of Terminators roams the post-apocalyptic landscape, killing or collecting humans where they hide in the desolate cities and deserts. But small groups of survivors have organized into a Resistance, hiding in underground bunkers and striking when they can against an enemy force that vastly outnumbers them.

Controlling the Terminators is the artificial intelligence network Skynet, which became self-aware 14 years earlier and, in the blink of an eye, turned on its creators, unleashing nuclear annihilation on an unsuspecting world.

The new four-minute-long Terminator Salvation trailer provides the most detailed look yet at this new vision of the world after Judgment Day. There are lots more action sequences and longer versions of some scenes from earlier trailers and TV spots. More surprisingly, there's a lot more extended narrative and dialogue -- and more than a few spoilers.

And if that's not enough, there are two new clips from the movie, both highlighting internal conflicts in the resistance. In the first, we see John Connor (Christian Bale) struggling to convince others in the resistance that Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) is worth saving. In the other, we are treated to a nice display of how Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) responds to sexual harassment.

Christian Bale | Moon Bloodgood | Anton Yelchin | Terminator Salvation...

Back when I did my list of 10 movies Not to miss this summer, Terminator Salvation was ranked a strong #2 behind only Transformers. I know some lucky bastards saw it yesterday and from what I've heard the thing is packed with non-stop action. Just as it should be for a Terminator movie. Today we're extremely proud to bring you an exclusive clip from Terminator Salvation. It highlights the sexy Moon Bloodgood who's starring in the film as Blair Williams. As we see in this clip, she's...

Sam Worthington is a relative newcomer to North Americans but he's bounced around the Australian TV circuit for the past few years and also has some bit parts in films you might've missed. In T4, Sam plays Marcus Wright, the "new and improved" Terminator going against Christian Bale's John Connor. You can see him in the much anticipated Avatar this year and he's currently filming Clash Of The Titans where he plays Perseus. Moon Bloodgood plays Blair Williams, a pilot for the...

"What I want to do with Terminator Salvation is take the grit of the The Bourne franchise, the grit of Children of Men, and bring the velocity of a Transformers picture. I want that hand-held, tactile reality. At the same time, I want to have machines that we've never seen before come into this world and bring that summer energy everyone is looking for. This movie is really an allegory for what it means to be human. But no one is signing up for a graduate class when they buy a ticket. Hopefully this movie will be firing on many different cylinders." - McG

McG is one of the most outspoken directors of his generation. And in bringing the Terminator franchise back to the big screen with next month's fourth installment Terminator Salvation, he has been quite open and honest with the fans about his intent behind resurrecting these myths...

Two new TV spots with new footage and plot details from Terminator Salvation explore the difficulty of telling human from machine in a world where machines have clearly been thinking a bit too much.

"What should I tell them when I find out you're gone?" John Connor (Christian Bale) is asked in the first of the spots. His answer, of course, is "I'll be back."

The first time we heard that line though, it wasn't coming from a human, so it is only natural that in the second spot, Connor ponders the question "What is the difference between us and the machines?" It is hardly an easy or abstract question for him or others in the Resistance. He confesses, "I looked in its eyes and it believes that it is human." And the issue is an even more intensely personal one for the "it" in question, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington...

Weeks away from its theatrical release on May 21, "Terminator Salvation" has got two fresh television promos unleashed over the weekend. Compared to previously-released TV spots, both of these made-for-tv snippets feature new footage and dialog, one in particular features the signature one-liner once made famous by "Terminator" star Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back".

One of the just-outed TV spots highlights on the battle against the Skynet's killing machines. Providing a deeper look into the story, it displays the time Bryce Dallas Howard's Kate Connor asks Christian Bale's John Connor what she should tell others about him being gone, a question to which John simply says, "I'll be back."

Another TV spot is entitled "Difference". Unlike the "I'll Be Back" spot, this compilation of footage emphasizes more on Sam Worthington's Marcus Wright. It gives out an idea of the relationship between Marcus and Moon Bloodgood's Blair Williams.

The folks over at JoBlo and Total Film got an exclusive look at some of the images that will be featured in the Official Movie Companion book for Terminator Salvation.

While the movie doesn’t hit theaters until May 22, the book hits shelves tomorrow, April 28th so you can get an early look at many behind-the-scenes shots and concept art for the fourth installment of the Terminator franchise.

Terminator Salvation is directed by McG and stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Helena Bonham Carter and Jadagrace.

Take at look at some of the pics from the book:

The fourth film in the Terminator franchise will debut in theaters in just under two months, yet there is still no official rating for the film…or is there? Director McG has lobbied hard for an "R" rating in the past, citing the original films as precedent, but the producers of the film have been pressuring McG to cut certain scenes so that the film could receive a "PG-13" rating, which, they hope, will help broaden the fan base for the film.

In an interview with Movies Online, McG said:

"We want to make the best film possible. We just don’t care about the rating. We don’t aim for the rating and we’ve been given the freedom by the head of the studio to just make the best picture possible. That’s very, very freeing. We’re just going to make the movie." However, the decision to tone down the sex (reportedly,...

Cos Lazouras, VP of development on the "Terminator Salvation" video game, told GamePro that Christian Bale will not appear in the new game, but Rose McGowan (who is not in the movie) will. Lazouras explained that You play as John Connor (but not Bale's likeness) and that two main characters from the movie, Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) and Barnes (Common), accompany you in the Resistance against the rise of the robots. "[Williams and Barnes] are central characters in the game and feature both the voice and likeness of the actors." Rose McGowan (Grindhouse) will lend her voice for the Angie Salter character. "Angie Salter, an ex-high school teacher. Angie is on the verge of completely giving up any hope for humanity's survival and is gratingly cynical throughout the game. Her character arc has a profound effect on Connor." Lazouras said that the game is a prequel to the upcoming "Terminator Salvation" movie, "set...

Warner Bros has released the theatrical trailer for Terminator Salvation that will be playing in theaters this weekend in front of Watchmen. The video (also available in high-definition on Yahoo!) gives us a glimpse of how awesome the new Terminator trilogy looks before its release May 21, 2009.

It gives us a better look at the cyborg Marcus (Sam Worthington), the post-apocalyptic world after Judgment Day, and the concentration camps where the machines harvest humans for their stem cells in order to create more life-like robots. And, of course, Christian Bale as John Connor. Briefly shown are the rest of the stars. Anton Yelchin as the young Kyle Reese, Moon Bloodgood as Blair Williams, Bryce Dallas Howard as John Connor’s wife Kate, and rapper-turned-actor Common as Barnes.

Oh, before you watch. One detail I missed in the WonderCon summary yesterday is that director McG is trying to get Robert Patrick to...

The best way to have fans talking about Terminator Salvation is to start a debateÂ.over BloodgoodÂ.s breasts, of course. 

{sidebar id=1}During the Terminator Salvation panel for the WonderCon attendees, McG polled the audience on whether Moon BloodgoodÂ.s (Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Eight Below) breasts be exposed in the film. And, just moments before all this, Bloodgood remarked that her breasts are 34C. She plays Blair Williams in the new Terminator Salvation movie.

Â.Do you want to see MoonÂ.s boobs in the picture, because we shot them [for the film]?Â. asked McG to the audience. Â.ItÂ.s turning out to be something that weÂ.re not sure itÂ.s going to be in the movie.Â.   The crowd enthusiastically cheered for BloodgoodÂ.s breasts to be in the movie. Apparently, it was a debate with some Warner Bros. representatives about this issue. After the audience answer,...

McG revealed last year that there would be a scene in Terminator Salvation that involves Blair Williams, played by Moon Bloodgood, being topless in the rain.
