TERMINATOR SALVATION Gets A New Cast Member...
Merrick here...
Helena Bonham Carter looks to be joining Bale, Common, Bryce Dallas Howard, etc. in TERMINATOR SALVATION.
Roles in the new film have been kept under wraps, but insiders described the Bonham Carter role as small but pivotal.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.

YEAH!
-
????
-
pleassee McG, don't hurt me.. Only you can. I give you permission to kick-ass with this movie
-
not sure about mcg directing, but it seems like a pretty great cast so far. Common isn't the best actor, but he is certainly getting a large number of roles.
-
Now THAT I'd like to see!
-
Not what you would expect for this kind of stuff. I am waiting patiently for them to announce that Judi Dench has been cast as the new Terminator. And the weirdest thing is, I say it as a joke, but you know Judi Dench would be a damn good Terminator. No one would expect a nice little old lady to shoot them twice in the chest and once in the back of the head."You're frightfully terminated, fucker!"
-
twice.
-
but don't particularly care for her acting or films bar maybe one or two.
She seems an odd fit for Terminator, but hell at this point it's not like people have high expectations for this flick so we can only be pleasantly suprised... -
McG Brett Ratner and that dude who directed Dare Devil should each shoot 1 act to a film titled 'GAY'
-
Heard a while ago she was attached to play John Connor's wife
-
Huzzah!
-
I think it's time everyone here admitted that McG is actually not that bad. You all know he did a grand job on both Charlie's Angels films, and I'm sure you would admit it to yourselves if you could set down your acidic buckets of hate for a few seconds. Those films were a good laugh, which was all they were ever meant to be. So, come one everyone, let's all get to gether and be nice to McG for a change. It'll do us all good.On a related side-note, it has just occured to me that Lucy Liu would also make a great Terminator. She wouldn't have the element of surprise like the Judi Dench-inator, but a Lucy Liu-inator would have the element of hot. I'm not entirely sure how hot would help a robot assassin from the future, but I know I would certainly enjoy it.
-
But he will never be. The only way he could begin his journey to respect would to push for an R rating (and get it) for Terminator. That is the first step. Bill Murray pulled out of Charlie Angels 2 because McG was such a douche.
-
Even if he directed the 21st century's answer to Citizen Kane I don't think I could forgive him for McG. What the fuck? Only if his real name were Bruce McGay could I understand McG as an acceptable moniker. Can you imagine being his assistant or something, "Excuse me, McG? I've got Ms. Diaz on the line. Should I take a message, McG?" Jesus Christ.
-
Judi Dench would be perfect! That made me chuckle. Maybe they could get Wall-E and retrofit him for badassery. EVE would work as well.
-
but for laughs or not, the Charlie Angel movies are quite forgettable. Now if there was a three-way lesbian scene...four way for #2 with Demi..I would be singing the praises of McG for eternity. Alas, it was not to be....
-
She's pretty much been hit or miss for me in various rolls, but that picture has me thinking bad things... not for the roll, but just what I'd do to her.
-
bad ass cast so far. maybe the script will warrant it.and maybe the director will change his stupid name.
-
He was a real asshole to me, and to females in general.

as long as he's a Leprechaun terminator.
-
But that video has already been posted on AICN...
-
I watched Tom Yum Goong this weekend - for the first time. Wow! I counted 38,342 broken ribs, 12,315 broken left arms, 22,367 broken right arms, 12,000 broken left legs, 10,200 broken right legs. 1800, testicles that will need replacement, and two broken teeth. That was just in the first half hour!
-
Pop stars have been cast in films for decades now. It's nothing new. Get over it.
-
I'll be getting Dragon Tiger Gate later this week.
-
The only tiny little flaw in the original film is that the Terminators are supposed to be for 'infiltration', and yet a six foot plus Austrian who looks like he has bowling balls stuffed up his shirt is hardly stealthy, is it? Why not make a terminator who looks like a regular guy or, better still, an aging, classically-trained, English actress?Other options include:Terminator dogs, which would be much like Hulk dogs except robots (thus eliminating the large green piles of Hulk poo).Terminator creepy children. Everybody loves creepy children, even though they're so damn creepy, but these kids will shoot you and your room-mate who sex with her Walkman on right in the face.Terminator homeless, who will bore you with an over-long story about why they need spare change before crashing a helicopter into you or something.Terminator student with a clipboard. This is really the perfect Terminator. We would all be so concerned with looking at the ground so we don't have to sign a form saying we'll give £2 a month to some charity or another that we'll never notice that their arms can transform into rocket launchers. Then, bang, we're terminated (fucker).
-
Isn't this thing half-way (or more) through principal photography? With teaser trailer descriptions rumoring about? And McG is still casting??
-
Who is in it? You must forgive my lack of asian film knowledge. But i am a quick learner.
-
i dont personally care when rapper's are cast, what matters is the finale product. but its no secret that most rappers are bad actors so i'm sure thats one reason they are so loathed. and when genre movies use them, it probably feels like "oh lets put him/her in there, they're famous and will pull in the youngins".
-
I would imagine one would be very horny after nearly dying each and every day fighting robots and such.Terminator Ice Cream Man...who would think twice getting two scoops..of death!
-
I'm getting used to people hardly ever agreeing with me. I can't help it, though, I thought the Charlie's Angels films were both pretty enjoyable. Stupid, sure, but not insultingly stupid in that Michael Bay way. Fun, goofy stupid, which is my favourite kind.
-
Per our conversation with Hawaiian last week or so.
-
How about a geek terminator? No one would see that one coming! I will skip the childish joke I could have made there - but feel free to add your own! I can see a shut-in, fanboy terminator. You could also do a gay, flaming queen terminator.
-
and he has to talk in rhymes too, part of his program. And even though he doesn't need it, he'll always be looking for "me gold!"
-
as some of you kids pretend he is.
-
...Helena Bonham Carter is good and hot. And often tousled. Helena Bonham Carter is good, hot, and often tousled. And talented too. Helena Bonham Carter is good, hot, often tousled and talented. I think it would be pleasant to tousle her talent.
-
Baby Elephant Termintor - and you get Tony jaa as it's protector. Which one would you fear more?
-
I would be so terminated.
-
The really Tony Jaa could melt a terminator with his FLAMING LEG KICK.
-
That's funny, and I reckon McG could do something like that justice. A super-camp FABULOUS! gay terminator with a feather boa, high heels and a mini gun. Who wouldn't want to see that?I'm also partial to the Terminator Whores, but for entirely different reasons...
-
I would self terminate! Yes, Tony Jaaa would detsroy all terminators with flaming leg kicks - not too mention rib cage breakage. he must really detest rib cages for some reason
-
isn't near as annoying as Will.I.Am in the Wolverine movie. at least we know Common can act. Will.I.Am just seems like pure stunt casting, to add another demographic for marketing the movie. too bad its turning the die hards off.
-
WE'll see...
-
She is very weird. She looks like she hasn't showered since fight club and might spend all day ramming needles in her arms. Still somehow very hot.
-
A shut-in with an attitude - and a flame thrower
-
I'm not complaining though!
-
I know he was in it, but the cast was big for that film I didn't register which one was Common. Everyone in the film was good, so I guess that means he did well.As a rule, I don't mind rappers in films. Most of them, anyway. Ja Rule can fuck off, as can Fiddy Cent, but I like most of the others. LL Cool J is top of the tree, for obvious reasons, but I've like stuff with Ice T, Ice Cube, Mos Def, Tupac, RZA, Busta Rhymes. There's probably more, but that's all I've got for now.And just to tie things together, a Terminator rapper would also be a good move. People would expect him to have a gun and always be shooting everyone, so he'd have no problem fitting in to today's society. All good Terminators should have fat gold chains.
-
She could be TERMINATOR S and she costs under 1 million.
-
I don't think Common had one line in American Gangster. I think he was just part of his entourage and was just in the background. I could be wrong though.
-
where is it from.
-
that guy kills every movie he is in
-
Tourist
-
Thats why he likes her. Shes weird looking to me. Chizzled jaw line and and giant eye sockets.
-
makes my penis something something... Also: LEAVE MCG ALONE!
-
Sticking my chin out, I know.. Who's with me?!
-
And yes Charlie's Angels (1 & 2) suck. No matter some scenes in those movies, seeing that bullshit typical KARATE POSE just makes me angry. Lucy Liu is breath takingly beautiful ok..I don't know if she's a good actress cause I'm to distracted watching her but she played badass quite well in Payback . But I hated the Charlie's Angels movies...hated the hyper Mtv psuedo-chic-hip bullshit context that was injected clumsily into the whole thing. Granted, I've got a bias towards Lucy Lie and Drew Barrymore and a bias against Cameron Diaz (the only thing she's good for as far as acting is looking hot).And all this made me have quite low hopes for anything McG comes near. That and the guy's fucking name. Holy shit. Don't get me started. I read he actually wrote up something acknowledging his name and how it sounds dumb and kinda 'gangsta rap'-stupid where he goes on to describe how he was called "McG" from a very early age by his Grandmaw or someone; and that for him to go by his real name wouldn't be "real" or something.Ok...but I've only cleared 2 people in the world with this exception: Garry "Geddy" Lee, Bass player extraordinaire from the band Rush (French-Canadian grandmaw pronounced Garry as "Geddy" and the name stuck) and any women.Sorry, nobody else gets to pass off a bullshit nickname, in particular one that isn't, on its own, even a real god damn word or name (get a fucking vowel fer chrissakes!)...ok, ok, I just find that bullshit annoying and it totally colors the guy in my head as being a douchebag. For defending it and actually allowing it....he genius...my sister's nick name was "Toots" which is totally fucking awesome on so many levels (she's older than me and having her nicknamed by me pops after a fart provided many many precious memories) and no matter how hard I try, people won't call her Toots. Aassholes.But this all leads me back to my main point...I finally saw most, if not all, of "We Are Marshall" and I gotta say...the slightly arrogant tone of those saying "The people slamming McG are the children who haven't seen We Are Marshall" well....you're still an asshat for a statement like that but I think in terms of your overall point of people slamming McG when he doesn't deserve it is definitely true. I didn't see it numerous times and didn't watch it with any level of technical critiqueing, etc..I just wanted to enjoy the movie....I gotta say the guy did a great job. I wasn't exactly surprised nor opposed to the idea in the first place...I really just went after what I had seen (CA 1&2) and his fucking stupid name.That said, this next Terminator is either going to be a clusterfuck, too big for its briches but still good, or possibly really good. I still have trouble thinking that it will be "REALLY GOOD" but I gotta say that, if it does suck gerbil balls, I don't think the entire blame would be McG's.Oh yes...HBC is a super-hottie and primarily for her more unconventional look. I've never been one for the sun-kissed thing...give me those fair-skinned, dark haired and big eyed Goth/Alternative/Suicide-girl any day of the week and twice on sunday.
-
Just because Tim Burton loves her we do too!!!!
Anyway.. "Terminator 4 Rise of the Salvation" -
not trying to be funny at all. Im just saying each time I look at her. I'm reminded of that bird
-
I've always found Helena Boham Carter strangely attractive, I don't know why.
-
This cast keeps getting better, while all the gossip from the script gets worse.
Fascinating! -
...complete lack of surprise.
Someone had to get a Fight Club line in here. -
first person!Run for your lives!
-
It's like Black Bolt Screaming!!! Stop please for all that is sacred stop speaking in first person!
-
Most on this site, nay on this planet, fail to realize how close we came to the end of the species! Orcus, risking yet another cataclysm, I must tell you that ...there is another. Another who speaks in third person. That makes three. Orcus. Rickey. And now Fred. The law of Three!
-
...in a karate-cage-match. In the old style...where bands of hemp are wrapped about the fist and then submerged in a vat of broken glass. Coke bottles preferably...you know...just like in the ancient ways.You creative type think you've got this whole captive-audience thing down but you don't know shit, that I know. And you know shit. That I know.
-
...cool, but weird. But even so, that still doesn't diminish the McG factor, nor the pg-13 factor. My curiosity is piqued though, God help me...
-
Helena Bonham Carter looks like she would be a freak in bed. She's not that hot (except when she had on the monkey costume in planet of the apes) but she has "that look" about her that says she wants you to put a saddle and bridle on her as she stradles your desk on her hands and knees. Don't forget to put a carrot in her mouth.
-
I am a Cerebus fan, and I have only met one other on these boards - MostHoly, who is a Cerebus fan. As for his floating testicles, uh, well, yeah, I have no comment.
-
...and I find that to be ironic.
This casting is a bit of polish on the turd. -
I have no idea! I look forward to Orcus, Rickey and Fred all in same thread - he again, that might bring about the apokolips!
-
Fuck. Off. We Are Marshall was a strictly paint by numbers affair, manipulatively saccharin, and directorially looked like little more than a slicked up telemovie, and the Charlies Angels films were about as execrable as slick n' soulless hollywood paint by number pg-13 product gets. McG makes Ratner look like he has potential for growth fer christ sakes. Yeah, I hear the bubonic plague was "not that bad" too...That said, I fully welcome McG to prove me wrong and kick my ass with this film. Hell, nothing I'd like more than to be proven wrong in fact, I'd always rather love a film than hate one. I just have very little faith in that being the end result of a McG pg-13 Terminator. We'll see though.
-
And Orcus is not always around either, so it may be hard to have that showdown! But the boards will never be the same again if and when it happens! I am stocking up on No. 2's just in case though!
-
I've got some freshly brewed PWNAGE waiting for him.
-
I was off the boards most of last week - work called. Putting out fires and stabbing shitheels in meetings!
-
You know, CAMERON? The "good" Terminator from the Sarah Connor Chronicles?
-
I'm the truck. Or Tim Burton is, I can't remember.
-
must be the two most entertaining directors at pitching their visions to A-list talent. Why would Bale sign up for another potential trilogy? Why would Helan-Boham-Carter be in such drek. I simply thing McG like Ratner, is an expert salesman. They can sell gum to patients at a lock-jaw ward.
-
is that true about her being the voice of skynet??
-
search your feelings, you know it to be true.
-
But then I visualize her in that ape makeup.
Buzz kill. -
I'll wait till the trailer before I unleash more judgement. At this point, if it was going to be a hard R, I'd probably be leaning towards the favorable side... but I'm still not that sold...
-
The only person we're missing is Hasselhoff.
-
there could be cool injoking with Bale like "sgt. connor, i believe the machines are approaching 3 parsecs to the west" "we'll need a black cape... follow me?" "hehe... oh yeah.... i got my gadget belt .... " "do you like bats?" "oh i love them!" "...i cant fight this sexual tension, cmere you!" muaah !
-
please
-
You will ruin this movie. Damn you! Damn you to hell!
-
Here's what I think - Skynet will create a Sarah Terminator from her DNA to fuck with John's head. They will make HBC look like Linda Hamilton (they should have just got her. Seriously, how much would that have ruled??)
-
This will go one of two ways. It'll either be a "who saw that coming/I have to own that/That fucking rocked!!!" kind of a flick, or it'll be a "That was a waste/who's idea was that/will Bale act again?" kind of a flick. I foresee no middle ground. What I mean to say is this will either be Wrath of Khan or it'll be Battlefield: Earth. It won't ride the line, like Stark Trek III, let's say.
-
Good for you.
-
they cant get linda back
-
... well kind of in "Action Jackson" ...
-
ALL PWNED!!!!!!
-
fagits. fuck all yall lolz
-
Is McG giving away free shit to have top actors in the "sure to suck" rapeage? I want this movie to be good, but come on, its fucking McG. Bale walks on water, but I doubt this project.
-
That is a fucking cool idea. If they actually do that I'll give them props because that would be sweet. But I doubt they will because this movie sounds like it will be ass. Someone else brought up Terminator dogs. I remember way back when T3 was being made and I heard a rumor the bad guy Terminator would be a dog and I got excited. Then I found it would be a chick, and they ruined that completely. A female Terminator should not be emotionless she should be sexy and a temptress then destroy the men she attracts. Anyway Terminator dogs would be cool. But you know what would be scary? Terminator Bears, human kind would be fucked.
-
They can cast who they want, this movie will still be a kiddie friendly PG-13 crapfest directed by a talentless hack.
-
for a minute there I thought "switched the photo" was the new "nuked the fridge"
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
This movie is going to rule your draws you deluded whiney bitches, be thankful that McG has touched this movie especially after Mostow played sneeky uncle and raped the franchise with part 3.
-
It's what shes drssed for, afterall.
-
what fucking next, shila buff? stop fucking ruining this movie. I want to see terminators ripping off arms and people blowing them to peices, what the fuck is this shit? girly women? limited conor time, pg 13? fuck that. I need violence and action I even liked dumb t3 but this looks sad fucking fucking fuck!

Craig T. Nelson and Apollo Creed with Vanity looking on over by a broken counter top. Craig can due his batshit-style Kung Fu and Apollo can use some of that same "You, you, you!" whoopass boxing kung-fu he opened on Paulie One-nut in the Rocky movie. Action Jackson? Whatever! Craig T. Nelson battles Apollo Creed for the future of humanity in the next terminator film. McG, are you listening? I'm a fucking genius and I have also read the bones....put Craig T. Nelson and Apollo Creed in your movie now. Stat! Have them fight it out...put Craig in a silver suit. Apollo can hulk out of his shirt but make sure he's got one of those shoulder gun holsters except maybe he holds carrots there cause he's worried about cholesterol or sand peas....Vanity you might have to pry from snake-handlers but my guess is she'd do it. Offer a new anchor spot or something. Maybe Olivia Newton John? She's been holding out for just the right script for like 2 decades now. Come on man! Believe in yourself! We do!!! Charlie's Angels is the best adaptation of all time...and I know cause I read the book! And it was big with words and no pictures! And I had no idea that they were Ninjas! I'd ask Lucy out but I'm afraid she'd use ninja-numchucks technique to categorize my balls in an unfriendly manner. And then Drew Barrymore would chest kick me into orbit. Cameron Diaz I would only ask if she quits bleaching her hair. Bleach reacts weird with my laser-vision and could burn the house down. That would suck. And all I said was, "Would you like a piece of Big Red?"
