TERMINATOR SALVATION concept art!

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins director McG will be keeping a production blog on how things are going down for the next few months now that principal photography has begun on the much anticipated new three film arc. His first post is the usual kind of welcome... "I promise I will try my best not to deliver plain shit" - kind of thing, but there's a few things we need to mention. He claims he has ran the story over with Jonah Nolan - probably at the suggestion of Christian Bale which can only be a good thing for the project. Nolan is the evil genius behind the stories of Memento and The Dark Knight, and he also wrote The Prestige adaptation. Basically any input from him is much welcomed. McG also gave us this, a first look at preliminary concept art for post-judgment day Los Angeles:

I€™ve been a long-time fan of the series and I understand your passion for the Terminator movies -- and it€™s my full intention to deliver a film that lives up to the previous three installments. I€™ve spent time with James Cameron, spoken to Arnold Schwarzenegger, gone over the story with Jonah Nolan, and enlisted Stan Winston. Everything we€™re shooting is designed to be tactile and real, you€™ll be seeing a whole set of inspired designs you€™ve never seen before, and best of all you€™ll finally get to see some of the post-judgment day future that was only hinted at in the previous movies.
