More high-profile casting in Terminator Salvation: the Future Begins. We’ve got Christian Bale on board as John Conner, Bryce Dallas Howard on as his wife, and now the trades report that Helena Bonham Carter (wife/non-wife of Tim Burton) is in “talks” to join the film in a “small but pivotal” role.
The film is currently shooting in New Mexico, though Bale is off doing Dark Knight press (like that film needs more press). It’s assumed that the New Mexico landscape will make up the barren future, allowing all exterior shots to be filmed before SAG halts production on EVERYTHING making July the most-boring month EVER.
So, yeah: “Small but pivotal?” We’re guessing Bonham Carter is somehow connected to the past of Marcus Wright, our X-factor character who is supposed to be introduced in this film and carried over into two additional sequels. Good thing Marcus’ memory is all screwed, or we wouldn’t get expositional flashbacks!
