@mlaing: Hi, thanks for coming and commenting here. I'm a huge fan of your work after watching City Of Ember, and I'm jealous of the people who got to tour that set. I would love to interview you at some point, about Ember and Terminator and your other projects. I'd happily steer clear of spoilers, but I'm very interested in your philosophy of creating post-apocalyptic worlds.
"Also, Christian Bale says the famous catch phrase, "I'll be back." But the context is 180 degrees reversed from the way it's said in the original."
Yes, he says "I'll be back" and then totally forgets he said it. And then all the terminators are like "Didn't human 0394930439439389 say he'd be back?"
And Terminator 993809890390390329023908 says, "Yeah, I thought he was going to come back and like drive through the building and surprise us."
And the other Terminator is like "That really pisses me off. That's totally rude. We should exterminate all the humans."
And then the first Terminator says "Yeah. And we should us that line in the future and really mean it, too."
I can't wait for this one to come out. Christian Bale should be the perfect young John Conner and it looks like they may redeems themselves on this one from III. Nice to know Laing is the PD also he has done some really amazing stuff.
When the Matrix sequels were coming out, my friends and I joked about how the Terminator movies were the prequels to the Matrix films, making one giant apocalypse series. It's kinda funny to see how The Matrix had some obvious influences from the T1 and T2, and now how T4 has been influenced by The Matrix.
My girlfriend and I saw "Young Frankenstien" last night at the Colonial Theater in Phoenixville, pa. That's the theater from the original Blob, where everyone comes screaming out the doors, followed soon after by the Blob. Steve Mcqueen's shocked look was always a winner in my book. - great place, especially on a First Friday, when the whole town is crawlig with art, music, and interesting people...
When Gene Wilder and Peter Boyle start the Ritz routine, I kept thinging about aterminator, klunking along with a can and top hat, perhaps breaking into Micheal Jackon's "Thriller" at the end.
This movie looks stylishly good, especially if this much has been put into previsualizing it. Kind of reminds me of the previsuals from A New Hope. I loved those as a kid, the colors, the sense of movement and style.
Looks pretty cool. I'm not sure what to think about those moto terminators... They seem a bit impractical. A quick sidestep and your safe while it does a 3 point turn...

Thank you so much for your kind words about Terminator Salvation and the City of Ember.
I truly had an amazing time working with McG on Terminator Salvation, and I do hope that you all will be as excited about the movie as I am.
Best wishes,

So that would make it pre-1984 then?
