New TERMINATOR SALVATION Footage removed!! But James Cameron Clarifies His Thoughts On The Film


Merrick here...


The embed below is courtesy of Trailer Addict (HERE).

This interview with TERMINATOR SALVATION Production Designer Martin Laing shows us quite a bit of new stuff...both concept art & real footage.

I'm not blown away yet, but my Suckometer isn't sounding off either...

Hey folks, Harry here - Got a call from the studios to remove the embed, as apparently it was not an official release and they're now going after poor Trailer Addict for releasing it. So sad to have some of the first genuine coolness regarding this project taken down. The film really could use more coolness out there.

Anyway, I figured while I was doing this, I'd go ahead and share with you some comments from James Cameron regarding the new TERMINATOR film. Here's Jim's comments:

There's been some discussion at AICN and elsewhere of me rescinding my so-called blessing of T4 and that's not the case. The truth is there never was a blessing to rescind, and there's been some kind of misunderstanding between me and McG, perfectly innocent I believe. He asked me in a phone call when I was shooting in New Zealand earlier this year if I would be a supporter and creative participant in the new film. I said sure, send me the script and I'll give you my thoughts. And I warned him that free advice is usually worth what you pay for it. For whatever reason I never got the script and to date I haven't seen a foot of film other than what everybody's seen in the trailer, which is not enough to form an opinion. So I have zero basis for supporting or dissing the film. As I said in an interview, for all I know it could be a masterpiece or it could be a big steaming pile. I think all people heard was the steaming pile part and concluded I was against the film, which I'm not. In fact, it might be very good, an opinion based solely on what Sam Worthington has shared with me. He's nobody's fool when it comes to material, and has absolutely the lowest bullshit quotient of anyone I know, and he has repeatedly told me that he reckons the film is going to be good. I know him to be very critical (in a healthy way) of his own work, and an actor who always aspires to excellence, so I know he wouldn't praise the film if he didn't feel it.

Obviously I can't give my blessing (whatever that means anyway ) to the film completely blind. But I'm predisposed to be supportive based on Sam's involvement and his judgment, because I believe in him. So there you have it. Let's all keep our fingers crossed that it's not a steaming pile.

Jim out


Herc here. For the non-Aussies who do not yet register Sam Worthington as a household name, I thought I'd save you the trip I just took to IMDb. Worthington is a 32-year-old Australian actor who appears in both "Terminator Salvation" and Cameron's "Avatar."
