Take a look at the action packed full-length trailer which shows us more of Christian Bale as John Connor, and a sneak peak at some of the Terminator metal he's up against. The new trailer comes shortly after Sony released the animated poster giving us a glimpse of menace to come.
While it’s generally agreed that the first two films had everyone shrieking with delight with Arnie’s infamous words ‘I’ll be back’, the third instalment sorely disappointed - and fans have raised concerns about this fourth attempt to revisit the story.
Total Film magazine met up with the stars and director to talk through T4 – one of 2009’s most anticipated films, and asked Christian Bale why he decided to take on one of the most iconic characters in film –
"I’d enjoyed T1 and T2 when they came out. And I’m also bloody minded. People told me it wasn’t something I should touch. The more people who told me that, the more I felt I wanted to… Every movie is a chance and I wanted to take that chance."
The questions remain. Can Bale do for Terminator what he did for Batman? Do you think Terminator Salvation could be as big as The Dark Knight? And most importantly, will you be racing to the cinema come June to see it?
Robert Pattinson has become Britain's biggest star of late with 'Twilight' a huge hit, and 'New Moon' set to be even bigger.

i still think that Jon Mostow made a massive mistake firing eddy furlong from the third movie as nick stahl just wasn't upto scratch. im a fan of bale but i would still loved to have seen furlong in the role as he IS john connor!

Posted by: gvn_ralph on Sat Dec 13 08:36PM | Report abuseChristian Bale has developed into a top actor, his recent performances have showed his versatility as an actor. The terminator film needed to take a new direction and with the emphasis being on the adult john conner im sure it will go on to be a total blockbuster. I am also sure arnold will be sitting in the front row with a big cigar and a heart filled with pride and admiration.

Posted by: meralime on Sat Dec 13 08:49PM | Report abuseI have to agree that I think Eddie Furlong should have been cast in the 3rd and this new film, he was so great as john in T2. I hope the fourth film does T1 and T2 justice, i felt T3 was a bit of a disapointment. I also would have loved the original sarah connor being in the 3rd film!!!

Posted by: dlucas84 on Sat Dec 13 09:08PM | Report abusei think the termintor seris is ready for a revamp and to be honest t3 should have been this one with christen bale. but ill struggle to see how this is going to beat the likes of matrix (a film with simular connection ie machines taking over) but if this fails i think the terminator story should be left in peace
Posted by: contactblackmamba1986 on Sat Dec 13 09:21PM | Report abuseBeing a die-hard Schwarzenegger fan, I'm disapointed that we won't be starring in a franchise that he really made as big as it is today. I hope Christian Bale can fulfill the role of the main action hero...
