Will the Franchise be Resurrected?

“Terminator: Salvation” might signal a revival to a long history of humanoid robots, known as Terminators. The saga has continued for nearly 3 decades, blowing its way through Hollywood with a futuristic plot of human destruction by the robotic hands of merciless machines.

The new director, McGinty Nichol, is attempting to revive the movies with “Batman Begins” and “The Dark Knight” star Christian Bale heading the battle against the machines as John Connor, the future revolution leader.

For this movie to succeed it needs to take audiences in a dark world where “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” did. Audiences have seen enough of the same explosions and special effects. They yearn for more of the dark mystery of the battle for humaniy’s victory. This will be key as the movie dives into a new environment, where the futuristic world of machines has come to life. The director has said he will rely less of special effects and more on developing the story, as this is planned to be the first of a new trilogy. The movie will essentially start from scratch and have a new cast that is different from “Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.”

The film will not have past start Arnold Schwarzenegger, although, they will digitally put him into the movie. The film has a good chance of attracting the attention of the Hollywood world as it contains acclaimed writer Jonathan Nolan, among others. May 21 is the launch date, which will decide the fate of the new “Terminator” saga.


What do you expect from the new Terminator movie as it starts a new story in a new era?
