Bryce Dallas Howard Joins Terminator Replacing Charlotte Gainsbourg Source: The Hollywood Reporter
It seems like only moments since Charlotte Gainsbourg was cast in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, but she's already had to bow out due to a scheduling conflict with a French comedy in which she is due to star. But fear not! Like a carroty-haired superheroine, Bryce Dallas Howard is already in negotiations to leap in and save the day, replacing Gainsbourg as Kate Connor, wife of John and fighter against the machines.
Gainsbourg's decision is apparently that the still-rumoured actors' strike may halt production mid-way, in which case her French commitment might be in jeopardy. But it does leave us in the odd situation where the actor playing John Connor is five years older than the one in Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, but the actress now playing his wife is two years younger than she was there (Claire Danes). A lot of women would probably put up with nuclear apocalypse if they could age backwards like that - and, as a bonus, have their other half, Nick Stahl, turn into Christian Bale.
Still, such chronological niceties are perhaps best left unexamined, given that this is a series that depends on a man sending his own father back through time that he might be conceived, and then trying to change the future so said trip won't be necessary.
Filming's already started in New Mexico, with McG directing.
Shonky-looking film in "getting a decent cast" shocker. Add Emmerich's ] cast to this and I'm beginning to suspect that either the quality of these scripts is much better than I expect or, more likely, some big names are a touch low on funds. Maybe they want to buy a small, private residence. Yknow, Hawaii or somewhere... ... Read More
I love Bryce, she's an excellent actress and deserves more acclaim, but I don't know ifd I'll be going to see this, I just cannot stand the director. ... Read More
I like Howard a lot, but they might as well have kept Claire Danes. I always think Howard looks younger than she is, and Bale older, so Danes might have looked a bit more believable next to him. But hey, this is a supremely silly film with literally one Batman-shaped thing going for it, so I'm not that bothered. ... Read More
I'm glad Bryce has taken over she looks ore like claire danes and she is damn fine actor.
I have no fear that sghe won't pull out all the stops because she had a mere cameo in spiderman 3 and i wanted to see more of her she has an aura about her that just attracts me to waht she is watching.
She is rarity in hollywood goodlooking and smart. Mcg you've done another thing right lets hope this is a good film ... Read More
