A brand new four minute trailer and photos from the highly anticipated “Terminator 4” have been released. Trailer focuses on the scene where John Connor demands the Resistance to abort one of their attacks to save hostages, but gets stripped down of his command instead.
Director McG addressed fans' disappointment over the PG-13 rating that the film has been given:
We shot an R movie, and at the end of the day we found that if we just cut back one shot of the Marcus character stabbing a screwdriver through the shoulder of one of these thugs it would warrant a PG-13. We thought, “Well, that would be ridiculous to make it tough for kids to go see this movie.” We were inspired by The Dark Knight getting a PG-13 and being a film without any compromises. So we took the rating we got and ran for it. We never had to shoot for a rating. We were liberated by [Warner Brothers president of production] Jeff Robinov from day one, and I give you my word that there's no way that Christian or Sam or I, for that matter, would shoot a picture aiming for a rating. We never cared. We just shot what we thought was best, and, short of gratuitous gore, which I don't think furthers the story or furthers the characters, we didn't really have a problem with it.
Plot Summary: The highly anticipated new installment of “The Terminator” film franchise is set in post-apocalyptic 2018.
