Christian Bale will close the Cannes Film Festival in May, not by letting loose a tirade of expletives (as he notoriously fired at a colleague during filming) but with the movie Terminator Salvation.
A group of executives involved with the picture, which stars Bale as earth’s saviour John Connor, were celebrating their Cannes coup at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s fabled Polo Lounge on Wednesday.
I’m a big fan of the first two Terminator movies, and I made myself tolerate T3: Rise Of The Machines. The original 1984 film with Arnold Schwarzenegger is a sci-fi thriller masterpiece.
Anyway, T4, which opens in the U.S. on May 22 (the UK has to wait until June), is a good reason, I guess, to hang around long enough for the annual film fest in Cannes to wind down.
It’s so expensive, and a lot of folk out here in Hollywood have told me they won’t be flying to the South of France this year. But the T4 trailer makes me want to see how Bale will save the the earth from being scorched by killer cyborgs. I’m told that two other Terminator films are being planned with Bale as the star.
T4 also stars fast-rising Sam Worthington (he’s about to shoot The Debt with Helen Mirren) and leading ladies Helena Bonham Carter, Bryce Dallas Howard and Moon Bloodgood.
