New Terminator Salvation trailer is live; watch it here
Update: The trailer is now live at Yahoo! Movies and here. Watch it after the jump.
This is the trailer that debuted at WonderCon in San Francisco over the weekend and will be unveiled on Entertainment Weekly/The Insider tonight.
The trailer opens with Christian Bale's voice-over, with the by-now familiar image of him shooting a Terminator robot head stuck under the tread of a helicopter. A title card flashes with the date 2018; we find out that machines now outnumber humans.
There are quick shots of hundreds of humans trapped in holding pens. John Connor speaks into a radio: "If you can hear this, you are the Resistance." A succession of quick cuts of the motorcycle terminators giving chase, speeding along a road, a shot of the gigantic Harvester plucking humans out of the wreckage of a 7-Eleven. Connor's voice refers to replicating human tissue.
Kate Connor (Bryce Dallas Howard) and John confront a chained Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington). "You think you're human," John says. "I am human," Marcus says. Marcus looks down, sees his exposed chest and screams.
More quick cuts: the helicopter crash, a hunter-killer blowing up a bridge, Kate and John kissing, a collapsing building. Connor stands in a lake, training a pistol on Marcus. Marcus, his face half ruined, exposing what appears to be metal underneath, tells John: "I'm the only hope you have." Then the trailer cuts to an overhead shot of a city, two explosions forming the eyes of a cyborg face. Terminator Salvation opens May 21.

Still think this should be pumped into my 24 Hulu viewing.
Anyone remember the Terminator comic licensed before Dark Horse picked it up? I doubt there's a "moon base with good terminators" in the film, but Marcus reminds me of that comic for some reason.

This movie is finally looking like it will be something worth watching. I was really starting to get worried there. This latest trailer looks damn impressive, though.

Someone pointed this out before and I'm just refreshing it, but the line "If we stay this course we are dead! WE ARE ALL DEAD!!!" said by John Connor. It seems as if John was trying to convince someone he needed to change a course.... What bothers me is that He's leader of the World Wide Resistance why is he trying to convince anyone about anything. Most leaders.... anything they say goes. But maybe there's more to this story that what the trailers have been showing iI'll just have to wait and see the movie.
Not picking on the show just a little confusion, show looks cool.
