Teaser trailers, multiple full trailers, character profiles, exclusive clips, the list goes on. Remember the days when you use to go into a cinema pretty much blind? More than ever, in the case of “Terminator Salvation,” do we already know way too much about the story for a complete cinematic experience?

Speak of the devil, the financial and distribution rights to ‘Salvation’ could potentially switch to MGM if they decide to take up their 30-day first right of refusal. The rights are currently owned by the Halycon Company who sold the domestic rights for ‘Salvation’ to Warner Brothers for $50 million and to Sony for $8 million for international rights. [Variety]
