Warners has issued a start-of-production press release for McG's TERMINATOR film. It brings us an officially sanctioned (but odd) plot synopsis for the film. I'm assuming (although it may be foolish to do so) the movie itself will make more sense than the press release.
Here's what the release had to say:
MODERATE SPOILERS BELOW!
In the highly anticipated new installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.
"But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part?"
"Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past."
Shrugs.
The release also says that Charlotte Gainsbourg will play Kate Connor....
