Let’s all take a moment to remember that McG is not some kind of visionary movie directing hero. He’s a music video director that’s handled a couple action flicks, probably because they’re essentially the same thing, only one’s longer and doesn’t involve music near as much.
Viewed in that light, McG’s comments about the upcoming Terminator 5 movie have to be viewed with some skepticism and a few chuckles.
Sometimes people like to take time off, but I’m excited about the next installation of the story in the Terminator idea. So for me, it’s terribly exciting to get back out there and show a different face of that idea, and perhaps get out of the apocalyptic world into a contemporary world. And I think the audience is going to be very excited about our way in. And I haven’t talked to anybody yet about that–you’re the first one.
See what I mean? Guy thinks he’s some kind of genius. The worst part is, he’s wrong–”get out of the apocalyptic world”? Dude, it’s TERMINATOR. It’s all ABOUT an apocalyptic world. What are you going to do, ignore that whole aspect of things? Maybe show John Connor sitting down to tea with Skynet? Perhaps a little rom-com action with the Terminatrix?
But it seems that his overall plan requires Terminator 5 to be…a prequel.
Man, now I’m REALLY worried. At least Terminator 4 had a legion of explosions and whatnot going for it, but if McG’s looking to pull its teeth before it even gets started, then what’s the point?

[...] Director McG is working on a music video with Kirsten Dunst. I guess he’s going back to his roots of making music videos. Dunst is the star. I love this picture of her walking down the street. Definitely turns some heads. What would happen if you saw someone walking down the street looking like Dunst with blue hair carrying a parasol? [...]
