Terminator Salvation Teaser Trailer Description!
AICN got sent a description of the upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins teaser trailer from some dude who took part in a focus group. At first they were not sure if it were legit, however they got confirmation from someone else who saw it, so it seems genuine.
It opens with footage of people out in every day life. Christian Bale voiceovers
something like:“I always knew it happen”…
Than a pause…
“They told me I could stop it.”
The same people begin looking to the sky….
“That I could save us”.
Looks of horror come across their faces as he says,
“They were wrong”.
Music rises as we cut to black for a second. The Terminator theme starts, with the duh duh,
duh, duh, duh.NEXT SUMMER appears on the screen…
We get a quick shot looking out over a sunny desert, and then a shot of Bale, in badass commando uniform
and very recognizably the same guy who plays Batman, being lowered into a huge bunker
of weapons.THE FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE
rolls across, and we get mixed clips from inside one of the survivor bunkers as seen in Terminator 1 - but they look more concentration campish; very crowded, shots of Bale walking with a large crowd. And then the word…
BEGINS.
The music quickly rises as we get shot of a huge truck racing down a high way, a shot or two of a helicopter flying mixed with more close ups of the actors when Bale whispers, “They’re coming”.
It all goes quiet.
Massive drums blare the beginning of the theme (again) but this time much louder, more pumped up, as we get a metallic silver T that morphs into a 4.
We then get the big money shot of the trailer. Its Bale on a motorcycle with some girl on the back.
They speed through a door of what looks like a warehouse toward us. As soon as they
pass the screen, a huge terminator on wheels, a lot like the one they battle in the
first one, smashes through the wall, chasing them. It looks awesome.It then says:
Memorial Day 2009.
Sounds amazing! Apparently we will be seeing the real thing with The Dark Knight.
John Singleton wants Woody Harrelson to Join The A-Team
While waiting online for the valet, Collider bumped into director John Singleton and ended up with some nice scoops regarding his upcoming take on The A-Team. Before we go any farther, I just want to say that Singleton is one of the most personable and persuasive directors I’ve ever interviewed. During production for 2 Fast 2 Furious, his ideas sounded just as badass, weirdly agreeable and uncompromising as they do here. But either way, he clearly digs the script and material…and might he be dismissing Ice Cube’s recent self-casting as B.A. Baracus?
A-Team is going. It’s not a comic movie farce like Starsky and Hutch, it’s kind of in the tradition of the 80’s action pictures, the man’s movies like Die Hard, Predator, Commando, or even Lethal Weapon more so than anything else. The action is very serious, but there is humor. That’s what we are going for. I don’t know who is in the cast yet, so all this bullshit of who is saying who is this person and who is…nobody is playing Mr. T, the character’s name is B.A. Baracus, he will have a Mohawk and there is a moment in the movie where he actually gets the Mohawk cause he’s going crazy. And I don’t know who is in the cast yet, but I do know that the only person I want right now is, that I really, really want is Woody Harrelson to play Murdock, the guy who is crazy but he’s kind of real smart, a jack of all trades.
Casting Woody Harrelson as Murdock would set a great tone and message for the film. The guy’s great with comedy (White Men Can’t Jump, Kingpin, the upcoming Semi-Pro) and I’ve always thought it odd that he’s stayed away from straight-up action flicks with the exception of the disappointing Money Train. Harrelson has a certain athleticism, slacker brawn and twinkle in the eye that’s perfect for the genre. And with Oliver Stone’s Pinkville recently falling apart due to the strike, Harrelson’s schedule might free him up to consider the film. Singleton didn’t specify the film’s rating, but you’ll notice that the ‘80s films he references above are all, famously, R-rated “movies for guys who like movies” staples. I’d be surprised if the studio (Fox) lets him take it there, but if they do my outlook on the flick improves greatly. I might be the only person who’s still in shock and shambles over Live Free of Die Hard, as well as the tameness and unneeded high concepts of ‘00s action efforts.
Another interesting detail Singleton revealed is that the cast members will have a stipulation to sign on for additional A-Team flicks. This wasn’t the case with drivel like The Dukes of Hazzard, and while Singleton says the film’s budget isn’t locked down, the detail hints at a long term investment rather than a nostalgic stand alone cash-and-grab. Singleton also plays up the script by Michael Brandt and Derek Haas (3:10 to Yuma and…2 Fast 2 Furious) in his chat, saying it’s the primary reason he’s onboard. And while he’s at it, why not randomly compare it to the Bourne films?
Yeah, and the people who are now just going to the movies and don’t know anything about that, will go to it just cause it’s a hot movie. It’s kind of like what they did with the Bourne movies, no nonsense but with a humor, with action. You know what I mean, wall to wall kicking ass and talking shit [laughs].
If John Singleton’s A-Team was rated-R, would that impact your anticipation for the film?
The Incredible Hulk: Three New Video Clips
Update: Added Third Clip.
Universal has released two new clips from The Incredible Hulk. I’ve been saying this for months, but I think Hulk will be the sleeper hit of the summer (maybe not in box office sales, but with fans). The first clip, which is available in HD on Yahoo or embedded below, features The Hulk destroying a police car in his fight with Abomination.
Two more clips after the jump.
The second clip shows what happens when the Hulk and Betty Ross (Liv Tyler) come under attack from the military. Watch the clip embedded below or in High Definition on MTV.com.
Update: IGN added a third clip, embedded below, which features a fight in the park between military commando Emil Blonsky and the Hulk.
The Incredible Hulk hits theaters on June 13th 2008.
No Commando For Catherine Zeta-Jones
No Commando For Catherine Zeta-Jones
Though it’s recently been trendy for ladies to go out sans panties, Catherine Zeta-Jones is one actress who likes it the good old fashioned way.
The “No Reservations” actress was in New York City last week for the launch of her ad campaign for Di Modolo. She looked ravishing, and was very forthcoming about her attire.
The Welsh actress wore over $2 million worth of jewelry by Di Modolo. She told press, “I carry a lot of jewelry with me, but I often get worried something is going to happen. My mother-in-law says that a woman should never put something on you can’t afford to lose.”
Zeta-Jones wore a Gustavo Cadile dress, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and carried a bag by Tod. In addition, she also wore a very important undergarment.
“Do you want to know my underwear? I am wearing underwear!” she exclaimed, amid the barrage of questions regarding her outfit.
