Terminator Salvation : The Future Begins

Terminator Salvation's Ending Changed due to Leakage

Everyone knows I hate spoilers and don't like revealing anything big, so with this bit of news, you're safe knowing that even we have no clue what's going to happen in Terminator Salvation. So the story goes that last June, the big twist ending of Terminator Salvation was leaked online (we, appropriately, never reported on it). Thankfully this was early enough into the production, that apparently McG and company completely changed the ending after that point. Moviehole is reporting that a friend inside of Warner Brothers has seen the film and tells them that the end was changed and is nothing like what was leaked.

Their source says that the ending was changed because of the internet leak. "The ending doesn't resemble the previous one in any shape or form." According to their source, it's "a complete [180] from the original film. Works better. Probably not as hard to swallow." That's all we're going to tell you, because not only do we not know what happens, but we don't want to know until we're watching Terminator Salvation in theaters on May 21st. Obviously no one at Warner Brothers is going to confirm this news, but I'm sure McG will be asked about it soon enough, so of course, look out for more details from McG sooner or later.

I'm very happy to hear that the ending was changed. I love the experience of seeing how a story plays out for the very first time while watching a movie in the theater. I was quite upset last year when it was all spoiled (even though I refused to even read about the ending). Other web guys claim that it's "their job" to ruin movies like that, but I believe in cinematic integrity and prefer not to spoil them. This news just means it'll still remain a secret until the first batch of audiences get to see it. And right now I can actually say that Terminator Salvation is the one summer movie with the most mystery surrounding it. Bring it on, McG!

Lies! That would have been a terrible ending. Connor a cyborg cmon. Especially if there's 3 movies planned. The next 2 would be so dumb. Besides, how do you just take off his skin and put it on someone else lol

I haven't seen the ending that was leaked (or want to because it will ruin it for me), but it can be a T-1000 that takes Johns form?

I am guessing this because you said John is a cyborg.

Yea sorry, I prolly should have put some spoiler tags in there, but nonetheless I don't believe it was the real ending ever. McG himself dismissed it saying it was an idea they played with early on but never actually shot anything for it. It wasn't involving a T-1000. This movie is set before the machines had advanced far enough to create those advanced Terminators. While that would have made more sense, the whole idea is dumb. The real ending will be much better, no doubt it will be a cliff hanger though which will annoy me as the sequel is likely quite a ways off. 58 days left :)

I thought it was an amazing idea, personally. Interested to see what the real ending is.

[Draconian Guppy]

Spoilers please!

Although I have to say, creating a fake cyborg john connor would be cool :p

[Ayepecks]

IMO, it's not a spoiler if it's not the actual ending.

[Xero]

^ Yea thats why I didn't bother doing it.

I'm not saying I think it's a bad idea. But for the first in a trilogy I think it is. That's something you'd end the 3rd on. I think watching 2 more knowing he's a cyborg would be too weird. Plus Bale would have to completely change his character and I can't see him playing a lifeless/emotionless role very well. Besides, humanity's savior being a machine? Cmon, we can't even save our own asses? lol

[Copoboxx]

lol. Stupid jerks spoil everything :(

That actually looks quite impressive.

[Razorwing]

Conner doesn't look like Bale though..

[Xero]

Yea, but I'm a sucker for those post judgement day war scenes. Love all the explosions, gunfire, glowing red eyes, hk searchlights, and of course, destroyed cars, buildings and what not. Visually its just incredible and the thought of actually being in that situation is too intense. I'd say I hope to see some wicked war scenes in the movie, but at this point its pretty much given. 52 more days!!

Conner doesn't look like Bale though..

True but if I get to kick metal ass I will be happy :D

[Xero]

Yea, but Bale didn't provide his voice, I'd rather he look and sound different then one or the other. At least he doesn't look like a giant sissy like Nick Stahl.

true... but honestly I'd rather have Bale .. cause he's just badass. lol.

[Xero]

Well duh, he should play every role!! He's definitely in my list of favorite actors. Btw, I posted some screenshots in the game thread, probably better than in here.

As everyone knows, the Terminator Salvation viral game is in full effect. The last update we wrote was in regards to the website ResistorBeTerminated.com being discovered, which is the central location for all major viral updates from now on. They just added a new viral video today, which can be seen below, featuring a few resistance forces from the future. All they say is that it's another broadcast from the future that appeared out of nowhere in their media folder. It looks pretty damn cool and of course it's only the start of what we're going to be seeing over the next month or so leading up to Terminator Salvation.

I love viral campaigns :D

[Xero]

As do I, let's hope these are good.
