TERMINATOR SALVATION images, are these new?

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

Dated Nov. 19th, Total Film have an image gallery from TERMINATOR SALVATION of stills I have yet to see from next May's film. I'm guessing these have been shown around various film sites over the weekend but I've yet to stumble across them. So apologies if these are old but here ya go anyway... McG told the mag that star Christian Bale had major doubts when he first mentioned the possibility of offering him the role of John Connor in the new movie...

I met Christian when he was shooting The Dark Knight. He told me to fuck right off, he didnt want to do it. He said, 'Write it so that it could be read cold on stage and Ill think about doing it.'

Presumably McG succeeded in making the script cold enough for him.

And on the topic of whether Arnie would appear in the movie (remember we have already seen images of him visiting the set during filming)...

Were trying to synthesise a human character with a CGI character and that may or may not have something to do with the T800, McG told us with a smile. At the moment its not good enough, he said. And were running out of time.

TERMINATOR SALVATION opens May 22nd 2009. You can read Oliver Pfeiffer's great preview of the movie after seeing a good glimpse of footage in London this week here.
