Christian Bale Signs On For Two Additional 'Terminator' Flicks

There was a lot of carrying on a couple of weeks ago when it revealed that Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins would be a PG-13 film that the franchise had really lost it this time. Of course, the report reminded me of a fact that I never really cared about: That the Terminator movies were all rated R before this. Be that as it may, and despite the fact that McG is directing the fourth movie, there's a great deal to like about the direction of the series, and a great deal to like about the two chapters following it, thanks to the news that Christian Bale will appear in all three films. Said Victor Kubicek of Halcyon, the company behind the new trilogy, "He's really an actor's actor, so we're very proud." "Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky," Kubicek told the BBC, and he also pointed out that because Bale was already above the title for the Batman series, there was uncertainty about whether or not he'd want to do another franchise. We're a year away from the fourth Terminator movie (it debuts on May 22, 2009), but details, as expected are a little scarce. Kubicek says that because not everyone in the film sees the full script, some plot points must be kept secret. Among those plot points: Whether or not Arnold Schwarzenegger would return again in one of his signature roles. Oh, let's hope not. Josh Brolin's name has been in the rumor mill to play a terminator, and we do know Anton Yelchin, Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood and Common are in the cast. Throw Christian Bale's name into that mix and it's a good place to start.

What, no Brian Austin Green or Summmer Glau? Now I'm pissed.

More Summer Glau is always better than less Summer Glau.

Ooooh not just one movie made of awesomeness but three of them. At this point in the game I worry if Summer Gau is going to get to play any role that does not comprise of being crazy in some shape or form.
