Director J.J. Abrams reinvented Star Trek to fan and critic approval alike, but can a director who calls himself "McG" do the same for the Terminator franchise?
Terminator Salvation opens this week, and McG is still finding that he has to defend his moniker as much as his movie. He told Entertainment Weekly:
"If you can't get past my name after 12 years in this industry, you're not invited.
If you don't have the hustle to figure out that McG's short for 'McGinty,' which is my mother's maiden name, and that she's the least funky person ever, I'm kind of done. My name won't define my movies. My movies will define my name."
Terminator Salvation stars
Christian Bale as John Connor, the man destined to lead the human resistance against Skynet's army of Terminators,
Anton Yelchin as a young Kyle Reece and
Sam Worthington as Marcus Wright, a human-Terminator hybrid. It has also been rumored that
Arnold Schwarzenegger will make a brief appearance in the film, thanks to CGI technology and stock footage from
Terminator (1984).
