SAG Strike: Much Ado About Nothing, Or Disaster For Scifi?
With all the fussing and fretting over the possible Screen Actors Guild strike, it's surprising that it's so far gone nowhere, and doesn't seem to be harming our beloved scifi movies at all. Was it the fact that people were tired of talking about a strike or did the public just not care what the actors had to say? The bottom line, movies are robot soldiering on, and to prove it Terminator 4 published some set pictures. Click through for T4 pics and strike round up. More »

John Connor Loves Motorcycles, Still Hates Robots

According to the footage they've been showing focus groups, There is a Christain Bale voice-over saying, "I always knew it would happen. They told me I could stop it. That I could save us.

Miles Teves
Miles Teves, Robot/Monster Sculptor
Why he rules: Miles Teves got his start working as a concept illustrator with Rob Bottin Productions, helping to design the unique look of Paul Weller's cyborg body in RoboCop. Since then, he's done everything from masks to makeup to concept design to storyboarding. A sculptor since he made dinosaurs as a child, Teves has been credited as "sculptor" for a few movies, including Iron Man, King Kong and Bicentennial Man. He helped design the visual effects for the Men In Black films and Mission To Mars, and helped design some of MIB's distinctive-looking aliens. And he helped to storyboard Terminator 3 (see below for a few frames, and see his site for way more.) More »

Rumor: John Connor Meets An Alarming Fate In Terminator 4

Everything John Connor Knows About The Future Is Wrong, In Terminator 4
Terminator 4 could be a lot more unpredictable than we'd expected, judging from a Warner Bros. press release that reveals a bunch of new plot twists and turns. Meanwhile, the movie has cast John Connor's wife Kate: it's Charlotte Gainsbourg (21 Grams.) This character, originally portrayed by Clarie Danes in T3 , sent the Terminator back in time to help them both after John was killed in their messy future. Another young actor named Jadagrace will be portraying Star. Plot details (and spoilers, of course) after the jump. More »

Terminator 4 Will Be Like The Matrix Sequels
Like the Matrix sequels, Terminator 4 will leave behind the original movie's weird mixture of present-day action with futuristic intrigue. Instead, it'll be set entirely in the land of machines, designer Miles Teves said in an interview with Fanboy Confidential. But the Terminators in the new movie will be older versions (because these are among the first Terminators). There was also brief discussion of a new type of endo-skeleton super-Terminator. Teves promises, "a lot of tanks and vehicles [and] weird machines." Interview highlights below the jump. More »

Terminator 4's PG-13 Rating Will Mean More Dumb Explosions
First they gave us a sub-standard Teminator (T-X) that kicked 75% less ass than Terminator 2's T-1000. Then they added Claire (Shopgirl) Danes to the equation, and the result, T3, was a poor person's Terminator 2. The only thing that kept hope alive was the promise that Christian Bale would blow us all away as an embattled John Connor in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (aka T4). But now news has broken that T4 will be rated PG-13 instead of R, like the previous installments. How can this movie rock half as hard as T2 with Disneyland limits? More »

Please Don't Let Arnold Schwarzenegger Do Terminator 4
The producers of the fourth Terminator movie dismissed rumors that Arnold Schwarzenegger would put in an appearance in the film months ago, but now Arnie himself is stirring them up again. He told a reporter that he hasn't had any talks with anybody, but he's really interested in appearing in T4, as long as it's shot in California. There are so many reasons why this would be a really, really bad idea. More »

Terminator's Bleak Future Will Keep Growing
Rumors that the unstoppable Terminator franchise was being deactivated have turned out to be totally false. Various sites reported last week that Terminator 4, the post-apocalyptic robot-fighting sequel starring Christian Bale as John Connor, was cancelled. But now it's just been announced that Moon Bloodgood (the smirking time-traveler from TV's Journeyman) will co-star in T-4 as a resistance fighter suffering from survivor's guilt because she survived the nuclear holocaust. And the movie starts principal photography May 5. Meanwhile, it's official that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will have a second season on Fox, so we'll find out if Summer Glau survived almost getting blown up in the season finale.
