Terminator Salvation director McG screened footage from the film and answered questions from the press on Wednesday in Hollywood, and SCI FI Wire was there. What follows is a detailed description of that footage, with massive spoilers! The Warner Brothers movie opens May 22.
The opening clip ran barely 30 seconds and introduced the post-Judgment Day world of 2018, as well as the various characters in the film: John Connor (Christian Bale), a foot soldier in the battle against Skynet; Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a fugitive struggling to remember how he ended up in the middle of a war zone; and Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin), a scrappy survivor who pairs up with Marcus in order to navigate this futuristic wasteland. The most memorable shot from this footage was a longer version of a shot from the theatrical trailer in which Connor shoots a smashed Terminator in the head and later leaps into a massive hole in the ground.
