Before the release of Terminator Salvation director McG spent a lot of time spouting ridiculous nonsense to promote his film. Some of it we bought into, some of it we didn’t. In the bought it category falls his claim that Warner Bros. was forcing him to delete this incredible topless scene with the film’s female lead Moon Bloodgood. Well now that deleted scene is available on the internet and… yeah… it’s pretty awful.

The scene happens in the rain while Bloodgood is creepily watched by a pervs. You can’t really see much and what you can see is, surprisingly, not that impressive. Sorry Moon, I just expected better. That must be a hellacious push-up bra you have on. The thing to remember here though is that, as usual, McG was exaggerating to make himself look edgier and more fan friendly than he actually is. Cutting this scene was a good decision. Watch it after the jump and see if you agree. read this entry »

With the start of filming on T4 last week, Warner Brothers has launched a Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins production blog for the film. There’s already one post on the blog, from director McG in which he talks about getting started on mankind’s latest fight against the future.

What McG has to say sounds good, until you remember it’s McG, a guy whose made a career out of bad movies. Still, when he says things like “John Connor will be pushed to the brink. And for me, Christian Bale embodies Connor’s strength and tenacity perfectly.” it’s hard not to get a little tingle.

Along with his announcement of the start of production, is very cool looking piece of concept art. It’s a preliminary look at what post-Judgement Day Los Angeles might look like. Check it out below:

Sci-Fi filmmaking genius James Cameron hasn’t had much to do with Terminator since T2, though it’s gone on without him. Since his departure there’s been a third film, a television series, and now there’s a fourth movie titled Terminator Salvation in the works. Cameron’s still not involved, but it’s possible that he may actually approve of this particular Terminator incarnation.
