Helena Bonham Carter is Bad in Terminator Salvation
Helena Bonham Carter, who just joined the cast of McG’s upcoming Terminator Salvation, confirmed to SCI FI Wire that she plays a villainous character in the SF prequel.
“I kind of play a baddie, definitely a baddie,” Bonham Carter said in an interview while promoting her new film, the comedy-drama Sixty Six. “I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say, but I’m a very bad person.”
“Tim [Burton] would have killed me if I hadn’t done it, because he’s such a Terminator fan,” Bonham Carter said, referring to her longtime partner and director on such films as Planet of the Apes. “I’ve been in big movies before, like Apes, and Fight Club was big in a different way, and Charlie [and the Chocolate Factory] and Sweeney Todd were big, but I’ve never been in this kind of big popcorn action movie, a male one, an action one.” Terminator Salvation opens May 22, 2009
