"We wrapped principal photography. Now we're heavy into post. I've already shown early cuts to Christian and Sam They seem pleased with where the film is headed. Our focus is on story and character, but it's fun diving into the world of visual effects.
Charlie Gibson is aware of his responsibility as the VFX supervisor and second unit director of this film. He works with ILM and A S Y L U M every day and makes revisions to the finest detail. We want the patina of the machines to be dirty and heavy and perfectly realistic - that's why we built so much practically with Stan Winston.
But at some point the effects kick in and like any Terminator fan, Charlie wants his mind blown. There's one sequence in particular where we're trying to achieve something that's never been done before. I don't want to talk about it because we haven't been successful yet...But we're working on it.
Christian and Sam bring power to the roles of John Connor and Marcus Wright. This is a story of two destinies colliding. Connor is part of a resistance comprised of the ethnicities that make up the globe. This film is so much more that just Los Angeles. It reflects the global crisis of man, all of man versus machine."
As the world eagerly awaits The End on May 22 2009--The franchise got another boost as the underrated and ratings challenged TV series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles received Salvation for its second season....They probably have the film to thank for that....as much as anything.
