I can't say this latest report is very surprising. After all, Christian Bale is playing the leading hero John Connor and it would seem obvious that his character would be a part of all three films in the upcoming Terminator Salvation trilogy. Still, it's worth passing along a confirmation that he is signed for three films. Here's the latest from the BBC.
The Welsh-born star, who is soon to be seen in Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight, has already started shooting the first of those films, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
"He's really an actor's actor, so we're very proud," said Victor Kubicek of film company Halcyon.
"Christian was our first choice and he's a big fan of The Terminator, so we're very lucky," Kubicek told the BBC at the Cannes Film Festival.
"But with Batman he's already done the whole franchise thing, so we weren't sure he'd respond."
Luckily, said Kubicek's business partner Derek Anderson, "he read the script and he loved it, so he's signed on for all three."
The first film of the new trilogy---Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins---will hit theaters May 22, 2009.
