Must Watch: Brand New Terminator Salvation Trailer - Updated!

As promised, Warner Brothers has delivered a brand new trailer for Terminator Salvation today. If you thought the teaser trailer looked pretty damn good, just wait until you watch this! McG has literally rebooted the Terminator franchise and is taking it in a much darker, much grittier route than before. As everyone knows, it'll be near impossible live up to Terminator 2, but I think McG is finally giving it a run for its money. While there are some giant robots, there is a lot of face-to-face dialogue, literally, and I'm expecting that we'll see more practical action rather than excessive CGI - which is definitely a good thing for this franchise. Based on this trailer, I'm thoroughly excited for Terminator Salvation to hit theaters.

Update: We've added the new high res US version of the trailer below. Even if you've seen the earlier one, I suggest you watch it again, as there are quite a few change and this one looks a lot better.

Terminator Salvation is directed by McG, of Charlie's Angels and We Are Marshall previously. The script was written by writing duo John D. Brancato and Michael Ferris, of Into the Sun, The Net, The Game, and Terminator 3 previously. This marks the return of the Terminator franchise after Terminator 3 in 2003. Terminator Salvation arrives in theaters next summer on May 22nd, 2009. Stay tuned for more!

Luhts

tyler

P

Bry from Chi

Nice..lookin' forward to seeing more red eye, metal scull havin' thugs.
Matt

big r

Holy crap!
L

Beat T2? Nah. An awesome addition? Bale could make this amazing
C

Doesn't the asian chick remind you of the chick that is playing someone from the future in the Sarah Connor Chronicles....hmmmm interesting...
Sean19a7x

Lookin good.
Tom Jensen

no, the "Asian chick" is not from Sarah Connor Chronicles she was recently on Journeyman, an amazing show that NBC cancelled
Alfredo

C. that is exactly what I thought. She looks like Jessie from TSCC. I think that's Moon Bloodgood, and her character's name is Blair Williams. It would be cool if they tied some stuff to the series tho, like have Summer Glau make a cameo. But anyway, this movie looks like it may have some awesomeness within, heh. I wanted to see more robots tho. Can't wait for the HD version.

Ben Connor Barrie

I have to say I fraking love robots in fiction. I hope Salvation is as good as the Sarah Connor Chronicles. http://www.grownasspeople.com

It's over at Apple in HD.... http://movies.apple.com/movies/wb/terminatorsalvation/terminatorsalvation-tlr2_480p.mov

cool.
Traveler

Batman voice!
Conrad

Surprisingly looks pretty good from this trailer....who knew McG?!
Keith

darrin: i agree with you this time. it will give Terminator (1) a run for its money though.
Stevo

No Summer = No Point. No matter how great of an actor Bale is there is no way to save this from the dream team of sucky writers they have assembled for the 3rd movie, the TV show, and this one.
http://www.cage.com Red Buttons

I watched it. Need a better quality of it. but i came buckets Hopefully it will be good.
Geez

Follow the HD link. That's the real deal. Dumb this Japanese shit.
-Peter-

I would like to see a higher quality version of this with no japanese subtitles. But anyway, this looks pretty cool.
BahHumbug

#21- Paul Haggis and Shawn Ryan rewrote the screenplay. Do your homework.
Waynson

I'm reminded of Reign of Fire in the strangest way... Looks great!!
http://www.cage.com Red Buttons

Jonathan nolan did some work on the screen play too from what i read.
Kevin

I don't think it's too hard to be better than T-2. The first Terminator is still the best. T-2 had some great moments but WAY too much Edward Furlong and the cheesey lines for Arnold still leave a bad taste in my mouth.
http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington

Updated the trailer - it's now the proper HD version. Sorry guys, was at a screening of Valkyrie this afternoon...
Brian

That actually looks really good. What CAN'T Christian Bale do?
Jimd

It Looks pretty good.
Fuelbot

Even at its worst it'll be better than T3.
JL

Why does everybody keep going on about T2. It was good, but not nearly as good as the first, like Kevin said. Kickass looking trailer.
Boo-Yah

"...the devil's hands have been busy..." Freakin' sweet - Bale is the man.
http://screenrant.com ScreenRant.com

This actually looks really good - hoping it turns out to be great. On the other hand while I wanted to be blown away by the Wolverine trailer, it left me feeling kind of disappointed (or at the very least, confused). Vic
Chris

Who knew that McG could go from Charlie's Angels to Terminator Salvation. He has succeded in capturing my attention. Now he has to deliver
Castro

i kno im gonna find alot of things in this movie that are gonna make me regret watching this movie, sorta like transformers. But theres no way i can miss this sorta like tansformers
Lauren

Explain to me why John Connor needs to sound like Batman.
heath

Moon Bloodgood is THE hottest Korean chick I have ever seen... This movie looks insane!!!
AJ

That looks terrible. What is it with the Transformers style big robots, motorcycle robots etc?? Where's the grit and danger of the original movie? This franchise needs a flush, not a reboot. Why not make a back-to-basics low-budget with the feel of the original movie? Why pick someone like "McG" to do this?
John Wayne or Bruce Connor?

"I don't know if I can win this war....cos I'M NOT WEARING HOCKEY PADS!"
Anastasios-Antonios Toulkeridis

Bryce Dallas Howard looks A LOT like Maggie Grace (Lost) in this trailer
heath

She looks hotter than she did in SM3 that's for sure.
Hercie

FYI I think that's Megatron's lovechild baby at the end
dan

holy crap, that was spectacular! i'm looking forward to this for the action alone.
Jeremy

I can't wait for this movie. Christian Bale was a great choice!!
Syphous

It looks good, but Terminator 3 set the bar really really high. HAHAHAHA! *wipes tear from eye*
sanju john

its just ok
lostboy_1

Not really excited by this trailer......i hope they release another explosive trailer
NadaNuff

Not too bad, I'll check it out. What did Connor say @ 1:11? He's mumbling.
austin

No other terminator is or will be better than the first one. Not even the 2nd one can live up to the original. I first terminator is a classic and is the best.
Leyton Jay

OMFG! This looks amazing!!!!! I've wanted to see something like this since I saw T2 as a kid. But if they ruin T4 it will just be another cheap-milking of a great saga. I've done my own blog about, Terminator Salvation (T4). Cheers guys.
Frame

He should've used that voice for Batman. He doesn't sound like a fool there.
oso83

I like Christian bale, but no Teminatior movie is complete with out Arnold. But good luck to it.
Leyton Jay

@frame Christian Bayle actually did his normal voice for Batman, the producer scrwed around with it in post-production and made it sound dumb!
jay

loool did any one notice the dark knight lookin motorbikes looool whyyy so serious looks like the jokas cumin bck after all. they should call this the silver knight lool
Roy

Sick!!!!

Yeaahsaaaaaw! Looks good.
LEJON

Will Arnold be with us this time?
kdr

ummm, I'm gonna disagree with most people here, but this doesn't really look that good. I like Bale and the Terminator movies (maybe not the 3rd one so much) but this looks kind of b-rated with a couple of well known actors thrown in.
Alfredo

is that the explosion from Tropic Thunder at 1:41? Hahah
j money

Cheesy explosion or not... (LOL btw!) this movie looks sick.
Darren

i just came
Jim

It looks good but not great. What I find funny is how there have been at least 4 different actors playing John Connor over the years and no one cares, but everyone asks if Arnold is gonna be in the movie. I also find it strange that they aren't using the blue laser rifles in this.
http://movieguyreviews4u.blogspot.com Ryan

Awesome.
alan

im imprssed wowo holy shit this looks very nice slleper hit of the year
ill will

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan, i had the T2 bootleg 8 times when i was 8 years old so guess i got to update my vhs bootlegs just to enjoy it(ya know u get a better apprieication if you watch bootleg before authentic) 4real
Kovah

Meh.
thejugfather

looks freaking awesome!! can't wait to see how this new franchise does in theaters....doing okay and the little screen so i'm syked as hell so far
Primo!

This looks absolutely amazing...I havent been this excited for a Terminator movie since T2....I thought I heard something about Arnold making a cameo in this...but Im glad he isnt lol "The devils hands have been busy" thats one of those one-liners that sends chills up your spine...I cant wait...and Im glad to see they casted Common in this as a supporting character....I have loved every movie he has been in so far and he always plays really well along side talented actors...Cant wait till they put him in a feature of his own...As far as Christian Bale is concerned...well so far there are 996 million reasons why this man can reboot a franchise....he had some slips with Equilibrium lol but came back strong....cant wait!
Jay Selis

yea this officially blows T3 out of the water. This truly looks like it can be a great film. Christian Bale can pull it all together. I can not wait for this.
http://bolts2bytes.com virtualnobody

I'm digging the TV series and I'm sure this movie will be awesome but all this stuff is seeming more and more likely. Have you seen the autonomous robotic dog by Boston Dynamics for carrying loads over rough terrain?
Betterchill

looks nice.
biznatch

WHERES RACHEAL! Looks good, must see
erik

Beat T2 ? T1 is the best !
Geez

Jim, this movie is set in 2018, not 2029. You too must do your homework.
badassmyass

you killed my mother, you killed my father, my mother farker, you will not kill me, best line ever...noooooooooooot, looks like transformer, with sexytime explosion.
spurminator

the trailer reminds me of a cheezy porn movie.
steven

looks ok but ahh... haven't i seen those cyborg bikes in the japanese Final fantasy animations already?? and that terminator music doesn't sound right without our hero in it...

Too bad Aahnold is old and fat and political now...
Susana

looks good! lol, seeing that big robot at the end reminded me of transformers!! haha. transformers was an awesome movie!
Movie Fan

Looks meh. Better than T3, but nowhere near T2 is where it'll be for me, I can tell.
LORD POON

Hmmm.....by the looks of this, maybe McG should of directed Superman like originally intended instead of that fruity ass Bryan Singer !!!
jepoy chang

sorry for being the only one that thinks T3 isn't that bad. I think T3 is a solid movie. I know it's not better than T2 because T2 is the best but I think it's better than T1 don't you think? please don't hate me...hehehe..
emil Lamprecht

holy shit. totally blown away. I just... I'm so shocked, and so pumped.
Phil MacDonald

calm down there... no terminator can compare to a terminator with arnold
Butslam

this trailer is amazing. It's really got me excited but when I saw the star trek trailer I was really really excited. I was expecting tht from this but it just didn't happen. Guess I'll be going to see trek first as the come out the same day I think. Peace
Dan

Best looking trailer since the new Star trek, cant wait for the movie to come out
Suicidelle

Being a dedicated fan of Christian's from back in the day (before he even whipped around that American Psycho chainsaw or baleheads united online), when someone told me he had signed up for Terminator x 3 I thought they were making a cruel joke. I still don't see how this will pan out for him - even the first Batman was a weaker script than Christian could really set his teeth into as far as his talent goes, if you're familiar with his work (and arguably, even the second - though Ledger's part was phenomenal and he was most definitely out of this world amazing). The Prestige was MUCH better, as far as the Hollywood ones go. But I don't see how he can work it in Terminator. Not to mention I wouldn't have touched that franchise with a ten foot pole after the utter disgrace of the third one to the first two masterpieces. I will be there in the theaters when it opens, and praying he will be even more awesome than I can imagine and bring this movie home. Regardless, I'm sure his role opposite Johnny Depp in Public Enemies will salvage any potential damage by T4. And no I don't like the posters or the trailers for T4 so far. If anything carries this movie, it'll have to be Bale 110%. And I think it's dumb that they're not pasting his face all over the poster, if they hope for any kind of mainstream crowds flocking to the theaters - milk that Dark Knight success and recognition, people!!! No matter what, I'm crossing my fingers for my man - I'll see you at the movies on May 22nd!
http://ilovecolors.com.ar Daxion

I'm loving this one! The only thing that could make it perfect is having some crossover with Cameron from T:TSCC!
robert

Excuse me, Mr. McG? You got Transformer in my Terminator, uh, I mean, peanut butter in my chocolate... Had the same thought as above about Bale's choice to use the Batman voice again. Was waiting for him to tell the (awfully fem looking) T-1000 "Swear to ME!" The original Mobius strip continuity of the first movie has now been contorted and retro-fitted like a Rube Goldberg machine by way of Jigsaw. And someone here wants them to name check the TV show as well? Yikes. Pa, I think the franchise done run outta steam.
Douche

I like the way he talked.
Steve

I don't see what the fuss is with Aussie actor Sam Worthington. he doesn't seem to be that good and can't do a decent American accent. I watched 2 of his earlier Aussie films and they sucked Allah's balls. I didnt realise he'd been in a film with Bruce Willis and Colin Farrell though. at least Willis can act.
CHICK

Holding reservation til after the films release...I feel that we owe Cameron that much....I never finished the third one, was disguted by it, not to mention i hate Nick Stahl. Irealize Camerons not making this one but we gotta wait and see...Its going to be incredible, or an abomination.
John Jacoby

Looks dope! Bale and Common are coming up this year. I wonder if they are stick to the lineage from the original stolen script from T1. For those of you who don't know Terminator and The Matrix were of the same story written by Sophia Stewart under the title "The Third Eye". Look it up.
Frame

It had the word "Begins" in the trailer. I thought that was funny.
MBD

I'm thoroughly excited.
pit-face

i'm excited to finally see the war start! there's no other wat this series could possibly go.
Tom

The trailer is truly phenomenal. But can we expect anything good from McG? The director of the Charlie's Angels movies? A guy who calls himself by that name on purpose? McG isn't a name, it's a chicken nugget. It's depressing that the brilliantly-written and acted Sarah Connor Chronicles is struggling in the ratings, while this movie will probably be a huge hit even if it does turn out really bad.
dbzfreak

ummmm jeez man wheres Arnold!
Fisherr

The End Begins.... I once read there will be another trilogy,This is just the beginning... Can't Wait.
vuxnut

Agreed enough about T2 , T1 is by far and will always be the best. No one beats kyle reese! T2 was just too damn comical, completely ruined the atmosphere. And yes this movie looks awesome i will be there opening day!
Louis

This might be cool
Stuff

Oh, thank God! Finally a Terminator in the future where the whole action takes place! i'm dying for it!
DavyDock

Christian Bale.....I'd love to shake that guys hand and tell him Reign Of Fire Was really good. He's a legend. Motorbikes Yeahhhhhhhh. The Terminator Franchise Awwwwwwwww......
Sandeep

Seriously, it looks ok, but if you remember in the first terminator the "civilians" wore ragged clothes and were generally dieing. Then you see the hip hop black kid with the afro running at :54 seconds, it shows it's become more mainstream or like transformers (especially the giant robot at the end)... It should of been more darker like the first terminator. Even terminator 2 did a great job showing glimpses of the future war -- why couldn't they make it more like that?
NorthDude

Ya I hope they don't botch it. First 3 are amazing. Comment 106 - Reign of Fire wasn't awesome dude. Get a lobotomy done. Might help.
DavyDock

Just because it wasnt set in America. Reign Of Fire UNDERRATED. Christian Bale, The guy's just dead-on, the Machinist yeahhh. Oh and Terminators great.
DavyDock

Everyone Hates T3 Why?
Sandeep

Generally the reason people detest T3 is because it doesn't measure up to the first two. There were too much punchlines and humour. Nick Stahl did a terrible job -- and wasn't John supposed to be a good leader? They made him out to be a lil kid once again who has to be pushed in the right direction. The extra storyline of John's wife, and his children also just deviate from what the plot should of been. However -- with that said ... T3 in by itself was a good movie. The effects were good, and the storyline was interesting. I would give it a 7 if the first two weren't so good. Instead it's about a 6 in my books.
k. promise

His voice is the same in Batman, and Reign of Fire, and Shaft 2000...so what and who cares! so is Samuel Jackson in every movie he's ever done along with Nicholas Cage along with Tom Cruise and Denzel Washington big f'ing deal! some of you guys need not to be so f'ing picky! Anyway the trailer is whats up. i went blind from its awesomness - Kung Fu Panda
