There are some seriously awesome movie themed Be@rbricks coming out in 2009, the first of which is the upcoming Terminator Salvation 100% Kubrick and Be@rbrick set. The John Conner Kubrick actually looks remarkably like Christian Bale but what I love about this set is the T-600 Be@rbrick. How creepy does the T-600 look even in the form of a cute, cuddly teddy bear!?!? Those red piercing eyes are really killer, aren’t they?
The Terminator Salvation 100% Kubrick and Be@rbrick Set is scheduled to retail for $35.00 each.
The Blot loves The Terminator. Yes, the franchise has made some weird decisions over the years between countless random continuity changes, bad casting decisions and at least three diverging timelines and yet I’m still hooked. You see, for every bad decision Warner Bros. makes there are countless good ones. I love the television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I actually enjoyed Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and I think casting Batman Christian Bale as John Connor was ingenious. Tying Bale down with a three picture deal was also a nice touch.
In fact, the only downside to the upcoming film Terminator Salvation may be that it’s directed by McG. Now why you’d put the reboot of one of your most trusted franchises in the hands of McG is beyond me. If this just turns into a glorified music video I’m going to be ticked. This movie better be good McG, that’s all I’m saying!
Terminator Salvation premieres in theaters on May 22, 2009.
Already the battle for the summer of 2009 has began with the debut of Terminator Salvation’s first teaser trailer and teaser one-sheet movie poster. With Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles entering its second season on FOX and Terminator Salvation debuting on May 22, 2009, next year might be shaping up to be the year of The Terminator, 25 years after the franchise began.
I think it’s pretty smart for the studio to be doing so much publicity right now. I mean is there a better time to capitalize on the flim’s star, Christian Bale, than when his current film, The Dark Knight, is about to become the highest grossing film of the decade? I would imagine McG, the film’s director, wants to ride Bale’s popularity all the way to the bank. From the few glimpses we’ve seen so far, the special effects in the newest Terminator movie look sick and Bale has proven a knack for starring in smart, entertaining films. Hopefully Terminator Salvation will keep Bale’s hot streak intact.
