Christian Bale Talks Terminator

Batman star on Salvation, plus all-new images


There’s a line in the film where John Connor says, “This is not the future my mother warned me about.” Are there big surprises in store?

Bale: Not for me anymore because I’ve accepted them! Clearly, when you have a mythology that involves time travel there’s an awful lot that can be done.

But then you’ve got the question: well, should you? Because it’s limitless. There has to be a point to it. Other than that, I would want some surprises in there, otherwise the whole bloody movie’s predictable.

Given online debates over the film’s rating, does it match the first two for intensity?

Bale: I would say it goes beyond those. In terms of the rating, I really don’t have a clue. A lot of it is contextual and about understanding filmmakers’ motivations.

That can change a great deal about what a rating becomes. In terms of intensity, it’s very intense throughout and exceeded what I’d seen before.

This interview is part of The Making Of Terminator Salvation article in Issue 150 of Total Film, on sale in UK newsagents now.

      OMG,I'm so psyched for anything Christian Bale is in!!! To me,he's the greatest actor in the Biz,and frustratingly,he's one of the most ignored,overlooked,and frankly,underrated actors in the Biz.It's really hard to think of any one who works harder,and puts more passion,intensity and grit into their roles quite like Christian does.He's super sexy,handsome,sensuous,and magically delicious(oh wait,that's Lucky Charms cereal,lol),but you get my point.I hang on every word that comes out of his sexy,sensual,pouty mouth,those gorgeous,mesmerizing,piercing hazel eyes,and those big beautiful guns!!!! OMG,the man's got some serious guns goin on there,and he has the best buns bar none(hey,that rhymes,lol).This movie along with Public Enemies is going to solidify Christian as a force to be reckoned with.I'm soooooooooooo in love with him,and so obsessed with everything he does,he's one of a kind,there is simply no other actor like him.Did I mention those big guns?!!!! I voted for Christian several times for the People's Choice awards,he was in several categories,God,I hope he wins them all,he deserves it and more.Best wishes in 2009!!!!
