After breathing new life into Bruce Wayne and the Caped Crusader in the Batman film series (with a little help from director Christopher Nolan) the British-born, former child star Christian Bale (Empire Of The Sun) is taking on another pop culture icon, John Connor, in Terminator Salvation.
In a candid chat with Earl Dittman, the intensely private actor discusses why he wanted to become a part of director McG’s revamped vision of the Terminator, shares his thoughts about the franchise’s earlier cinematic incarnations, tells what it was like meeting a certain legendary star-turned-politician, and explains his behavior on the Terminator Salvation set and why he wouldn’t want be stranded on a desert island with either Batman or John Connor.
