Terminator cast just gets better

The cast of Terminator Salvation just keeps getting better. Helena Bonham Carter is in talks to play the “lead villain” in the next installment of the franchise, according to AccessHollywood.com.

If all works out, she’ll do battle with Christian Bale (John Conner) and Bryce Dallas Howard (John’s wife, Kate Conner).

McG (Charlie’s Angels) will direct the upcoming Terminator, which is set in post-apocalyptic 2018 and follows John Connor as he leads the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators.

Bonham Carter is no stranger to playing the villainess; she last appeared as the meat-pie-making murderess Mrs Lovett in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and will reprise her role as the witch Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

In talks to be in Terminator 4!

Bryce Dallas Howard is in discussions to replace Charlotte Gainsbourg in McG’s Terminator sequel, reports claim.

Gainsbourg, who starred alongside Heath Ledger in I’m Not There, had been set to play the wife of John Connor (Christian Bale), leader of the human resistance in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins but has been forced to withdraw from the project due to a scheduling conflict.

And according to the Hollywood Reporter, The Village star Howard is in negotiations to take the role.

The daughter of actor and director Ron Howard, she recently completed filming opposite Chris Evans and Ellen Burstyn in Jodie Markell’s The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond.

Gainsbourg’s departure has been provoked by the potential for an actor’s strike as the Screen Actors’ Guild (SAG) has failed to reach an agreement with Association of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) regarding remuneration over redistribution of their work on DVD and other media.

Were a strike to happen, shooting would be postponed temporarily, raising the possibility of clash for Gainsbourg between Terminator Salvation and a French comedy to which she is attached.

McG, helmer of both Charlie’s Angels features, is to follow in the footsteps of James Cameron and Jonathan Mostow in directing Terminator Salvation: due for release on May 22nd 2009.

While the plot of the fourth film has been largely kept under wraps, it is believed it could be the start of a three-picture exploration of the human battle for survival after much of the Earth has been obliterated by Skynet – the computer that controlled the machines – in a nuclear holocaust.

Sundance Film Festival | Talking With Bryce Dallas Howard

The Moment shared a personal moment with the actress Bryce Dallas Howard at the Glamour Magazine Reel Moments party at Robert Redfordfs Park City restaurant, Zoom*. Bryce tells us she is at the festival to see her gSpiderman 3 co-star Kirsten Dunst but can only stay for 24 hours since she has her 11 month-old son, Theo, at home alone with her husband. For past coverage from Sundance, please click here

Have you ever been to Sundance before?
Never! Can you believe that?

With your family history!?! Has your father been to Sundance before?
Never! This is my first time here and I wish I had more time to spend seeing movies!

If you could catch one movie here, which one would you choose?
gGood Dickh, which was written and directed by one of my close friends, Marianna Palka**. She is an inspiration to me and she is never stopped by convention or the structure of Hollywood. She is in the movie with her real-life boyfriend, Jason Ritter. [John Ritterfs son.]

So you left your husband, Seth Gabel, at home to take care of Theo at 11 months. Was that nerve-wracking?
My husband is wonderful, but itfs very hard for me to leave Theo and I almost never do. Seth is fine with him and Ifm very organized. They are all set.

Would you call yourself a Type A personality, then?
Maybe. Slightly. [Laughing]

What was the birth like?
I planned for an at-home birth, but at the very end I needed to go to the hospital. I was home a couple hours after Theo was born. By accident, my father [the actor/director Ron Howard] was there for the birth, because the labor went so quickly. Just 4 hours.

What is it like to see Ron Howard with his first grandchild?
Amazing!

Bryce @ Sundance

At Sundance, Glamour mag toasted its Reel Moments short film contest with a midnight séance hosted by A&E’s spooky new show “Paranormal State.” Bryce Dallas Howard, actress and daughter of legendary director Ron Howard, came out for the creepy party, where investigators managed to find a ghost in the old hotel. Howard, who left her 11-month-old home with her hubby, was daunted by both the ghost and the film festival. “It’s my first time,” she told us. Shockingly, her dad had never been, either. “He called me and asked me what it was like. I said, ‘Dad, why don’t you come? I’m sure they’d love to have you.'”

Bryce is nominated for a Golden Globe!
