SAN DIEGO �
"Terminator Salvation" won't hit theaters until side by side summer, but thousands of fans got an early look at a portion of the film Saturday.
Director McG presented never-before-seen footage during a Comic-Con panel and offered a few hints almost what to expect from the highly anticipated one-fourth installment in the "Terminator" franchise.
For model, Arnold Schwarzenegger could be back.
"The T-800 model indeed is role of the mythology of Terminator," McG said coyly, referring to the machine model California's governor played in the first 3 films.
James Cameron, who directed the first two "Terminator" films, and special-effects maestro Stan Winston, who died in June, also each had a hand in the photographic film, McG aforementioned, adding that Winston made a cameo appearance.
"He wrestles one of the hydrobots," the director said.
The movie, now shooting in New Mexico, could end up with an R evaluation rather than the rumored PG-13, McG revealed.
"We put the picture first at all multiplication," he said. "If it's an R-rated picture, it's an R-rated picture and that's that."
He acknowledged that the studio apartment is responsible for some of the online rumors.
"We release, like everyone else does, misinformation campaigns," McG said. "One of the joys of going to the movies is non knowing what's going to happen."
The brief clip shown Saturday was filled with explosions, tanks, gas masks, guns and crushed skulls.
Set in 2018, the film is night and apocalyptic, "exploring what the reality is like after a nuclear holocaust," the director said. "We wanted everything to feel like giant star Soviet tanks crushing all comers."
"Terminator Salvation," a Warner Bros. release, is set to dispatch theaters in May.
