John Connor Trades Spouses!!
Merrick here...
A few weeks ago, we learned that Charlotte Gainsbourg would play the role of Kate Connor in TERMINATOR SALVATION. This role was originated by Clair Danes in TERMINATOR 3. You can find that report HERE.
Now comes word that Gainsbourg is out.
Gainsbourg was originally set to play Kate Connor, the wife of human resistance hero John Connor, played by Christian Bale. The actress had to bow out because of scheduling conflicts with another film, a French comedy.
...says THIS ARTICLE, which goes on to say that Bryce Dallas Howard (LADY IN THE WATER, Gwen Stacy in SPIDER-MAN 3) is likely to to step into the role.
SALVATION is currently filming, but production could be tripped up for a while by the possible/impending SAG strike.

Which is a real shame seeing as I'm a huge Terminator fan and also a big fan of Bale. I just know it's going be a big disappointment like Indy 4. Probably even bigger seeing as there's gonna be three of them.
-
...she won't be as hideous as they made her in LADY IN THE WATER.
-
And I couldn't care less about this film!!!!!!!
-
I'm not seeing it... She does not strike me as having a strong enough presence for a Terminator movie. Sounds like a bad casting decision to me.
-
Claire is older than Bryce, the casting decision is not the best, but it can work
-
No way in hell she's as tough as Sarah. Linda Hamilton actually scares me.
-
be successful at all? Let's say it does turn out to be a decent addition to the Terminator series, regardless of more time parodoxes and contradictions. Will people want to see it? Arnold is the only actor (aside from the guy that was Dr. Silberman) to appear in every film. The TV series is good, but only as a series. Audiences expect more when they're paying $9. At this point it doesn't matter who plays who as audiences will be confused by the unfamiliarity of it all.
-
Terminator Salvation? Such a fucking stupid pointlessly long title for this movie! Call it The Terminator. Period. Anyone see the new TDK t.v. spot? Drooooooooools
-
Sophia Bush was hired, shot a few scenes and was dumped for Danes.
-
Now I can go back to skipping it.
-
good god I can't stand her.
-
I know I will.
-
Call it The Terminator? No way, man. We already have a movie called The Terminator. Let's not soil the franchise even further. People don't like Bryce Dallas Howard? Why? She's pretty. She's a decent actress. Not her fault she was in two shitty movies. She was the only good thing in Spidey 3.
-
So that's yet another disappointment for the next Terminator movie. So see "I'm Not There" for Gainsbourg nudity! As for Terminator, right now the only thing going for it is... BALE!
-
we have seen it all...we nkow the story, just let it end this whole genre of movies should have ended with T2, must we suck the terminator Tit dry?
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
-
Smells like bullshit. She was probably awful but I don't like BDH either.
-
"A lot of women would probably put up with nuclear apocalypse if they could age backwards like that"
-
By saying they can't make a comedy needs a boot to the head. The Valet and Angela-A were infinitely funnier than anything Hollywood put out last year.
-
It would take six months of non-stop dieting and training to prepare Ms. Howard. Did you see how wide she was in 'Spiderman 3'? The camera people did everything they could to downplay this. I'm sure she's built to be the perfect breeder, but not the female warrior we expect.
-
...a fucking joke! Why make T3 & then turn the whole storyline upside down with the tv series? Sounds like the tv series will be disregarded by T4. If so what was the fuckin point of the SCC??
It's all become too convoluted. -
.."but not the female warrior we expect." You are a cunt.

I'd take a Bulgarian Romantic Comedy over PG13 Terminator

Who wants to be near ground zero when this piece of shit lands?
-
Charlotte Gainsbourg isn't remotely hot. She was gross in Science of Sleep. THOUGH she'd add a more mature vibe to the character of Kate Conner than Bryce Dallas Howard would. It depends on the tone of the film, really. If the flick will have a slick candy coat-- then Bryce would be great. If it'll have a gritty, more realistic vibe-- then Charlotte is a good idea. I'm down for whatever. I'm an old school Terminator fan. I'd watch it if they casted Will Ferrel as John Conner and fucking Molly Shannon as Kate.
-
He didn't want a frenchy, so he went with Happy Days hoebag. Congrats Bale!
-
is just a bad Clair Danes. And thats pretty bad.
-
...they should have replaced Danes with Mary Louise Parker.

T3 SALVATION: BRING BACK MICHAEL BIEHN!!!!!!!!!!
by the marquis de side 3
he's our hero, and we want him back, dammit!
-
... I'm guessing NCIS and CSI can be seen by anyone on American television - and they have some really gruesome autopsy scenes. So, doesn't that mean in theory that they could have a high level of gore and still get a PG-13 rating for this film? Somehow, I know the answer to that is 'no' but could someone explain to me the logic behind some of the stuff that makes in on US free to air TV (where anyone can see it) has a higher threshold than the cinema (where people have to pay to see it).
-
redheads beat blonds any day.
-
That has to just be an excuse for something else. I hope it's not Bryce Dallas Howard. I'm trying to picture her and Bale together and it's not working.
-
C. Gainsbourg is teh shit in France, and has many projects on the backburner greenlit on her name. If the stike hit T4, all her French projects would be hit as well. If the "scheduling conflict" bit is true then it's logical she chose the small projects where she's the lead rather than a secondary character.
France's most bankable actor (I won't mention his name because A/ he sucks and B/ the following piece of trivia is shameful enough) declined a part in The Beard's Munich because it was a supporting bit, and prefered signing for a shitty adaptation of a 60's TV show where he played the lead. And in interview, he made it perfectly clear that he was proud of that choice. TJ Hooker ersatz versus masterpiece, says a lot about French actors. -
Isn't production already in full swing?
-
Why must they always include Nazis. Doesn't France realize that the entire rest of the known world have kinda decided that Nazis != belly laughs?
-
Thank fuck for that.
-
Casting of Gainsbourg did seem odd . . . but that could have made something interesting.
-
Cause I don't either.
-
Bryce Dallas Howard is a doll
-
'I'm sure she's built to be the perfect breeder, but not the female warrior we expect.' YOU ARE A FUCKING CUNT ZINC_CHAMELEON!
-
Or maybe she is a Terminator fan. "It's going to be pg-13 fuck this and MCG I'm doing a French comedy". I support this movie because this movie even with Bale will blow.
-
About this series anymore? I mean come on...from Cameron to McG? From Hamilton to Howard? What backroom / insider / Richie Cunningham / Deal was struck for this awful, awful choice. My god, she is terrible. I didn't buy one bit of her bit in 'See how pretty & naked I am in the Water'. How low can this sink to? Direct to Video??? It's already a TV show joke. Just do a saturday morning cartoon and be done with it already.
-
the studio wanted a bigger star. Isn't "Scheduling conflicts" the default BS answer?
-
As I love the first two and tolerate the last one soley for the action scenes (the crane chase was pretty sweet).
Keeping my fingers crossed. -
WTF?! Why not cast him? Seriously!
-
Because, damn...she seems to never age and stays really hot. I'd choose her over 95% of any hot female actress under the age of thirty in half-a-second flat!
-
I'm pretty sure she was pregnant at the time of Spidey 3 being filmed and does not in fact present any wide-angle dilemmas to McG's unquestionable cinematic artistry.
-
I liked Bryce Dallas Howard in "The Village," though I didn't like the movie much. She was pretty and had what I felt was solid presence. I really didn't like "Spiderman 3," so in my effort to rid myself of its stain, didn't notice that she was in it.
I think characters in "Terminator 4" will be as good as the writers push them to be. Of course, the pussified PG-13 rating will hamper this process immensely, which is probably why Gainsbourg "had scheduling conflicts." I wonder how long it'll be until Bale "gets leprosy" or "checks into rehab for a year".
Obviously Bale isn't a quitter, so I think he'll stick it out. But hopefully Howard gets lean and futuristically mean, enhances her flowing red hair, and surprises us with how well she plays the part.
Am I being too optimistic? -
Aint It Cool 'round the world is going to just-say-no to this one.
-
A trilogy of movies that will probably make a billion dollars plus marketing vs a French comedy.
-
Fucking Ugly!
-
Suckitty suck suck!
-
Because it's going to be lame ass PG-13. Like Live Free or Die Hard, I'll wait for the unrated or not see it at all. Burn in hell, studio execs.
-
...cute in a cutsey kinda way but she has "kid" cuteness meaning its not remotely beautiful in any "womanly" kind of way or not even same galaxy remotely sexy kinda way. The whole model scene in Spidey3 was absurd because...if I remember correctly...it had 2 girls who could be models and Bryce. Sorry Opie, you're daughter is cute Little House on the Prairie style and that's it. No sexy there at all. And Claire Danes haters...ok..opinions and all that, but god damn if I didn't have the biggest thing for her back in the 'My so called life' days. Talk about beautiful redheads! (As in fucking RED...not some blonde with fucking orange in it like Opies spawn! RED RED!!! Like Haviland Morris in Gremlins 2 fuckers! That's RED!! Fucking Blonde hair that aint white isn't automaticaly red you colorblind mutt sniffer).
-
Redhead Claire Danes is hot. So is short haired Nat Portman. That is all. Fucking Emm Nite Shammy turned Bryce into my sister with that fucking water woman movie. No remotely attractive (he even made that girl who played his sister from Kama Sutra plain and boring and she's already amazing looking normally...this guy has talent?)

B.D.Howard pops the clutch & tells the world to Eat My Dust
by mrmysteryguest
-
If they're trying to make us believe she's the same character as played by Claire Danes in T3 they've just failed! Bale as Connor, on the other hand, I definitely buy.
-
keep 'em both!
-
To be honest, she's like 99.999% of all Hollywood stars -- it all comes down to her make-up and how she's photographed at the time. Go to her IMDB page and look at her gallery. In some shots she looks rather pretty...in some (and on average) she simply looks okay and average...and in some she looks "meh." In the first TERMINATOR movie, Linda Hamilton had to start off cute and evolve into a survivor. For the second, she buffed out and became John Connor's warrior mom who understood what was at stake and what it would take to fight back, so she now LOOKED the part. So all in all, Hamilton was a good choice who made a successful transformation in the actual PART.As for Howard, I guess a lot of this will simply depend on "what" the hell these screenplays are about and "what" they call upon her to do. All in all, I'm still MORE worried about that -- the damn scripts and how good or how vomit hurling they actually are.

Michael Biehn is not stupid.
-
She's not doing Transformers2.
-
Summer Glau!! Think of the possibilities....

So, not that long ago, I was at the grocery store picking up some canned chili so that I might eat some chili cheese dogs, and I saw the "special edition" of Alien 3 on sale for about $6 bucks. I think it's the same version that was included in the Alien Quadrilogy set. But I never bought the Alien Quadrilogy because it comes with Alien Resurrection, and I don't want Alien Resurrection anywhere near me. So I bought the special edition of Alien 3. And I recall watching some interviews on the bonus disc, and there was one interview with Michael Biehn in which he was talking about how he almost had a VERY small part in the movie, but that he threw a tantrum and declined because he was mad at how they killed him off. He then goes on to say that he was pretty stupid, because if he'd done it, he would've made some money.
-
I believe Beihn did receive a paycheck because they used his LIKENESS in Alien 3, even though it was mostly as a ravaged carcass in a plastic bag.
-
I'm usually really hard on Hollywood chicks! I don't get the love for Angelina Jolie, Kate Hudson, or butterface Scarlett Johansson. I did think Bryce Howard was hot as hell in Spidey 3. She may have had post-childbirth curves, but she was hardly fat. I can't believe there's been barely one positive post about her on this thread.
