This just piqued my interest.

But who will try to terminate him?

The Joker! Duh! :P

Bale has yet to be in a bad movie I've seen so I'll give it a shot.

You saw 3:10 to Yuma, right? He was awesome in that one.

I'm pissed I missed it I really wanted to! I saw Rescue Dawn though.

And you got me there. :( I missed that one.

It was limited release so not alot of people saw it. He played a childish guy who wasn't ready for what real combat was like. He pulled it off really well, parts were funny even with the subject matter.

Hands down, best film of the year. All the performances were excellent.

Yeah, Christian Bale is a *very* good sign for this flick. I think the only bad movie I've ever seen him in was that crappy kid-friendly Watership Down remake from a few years back, but that was just a voice over.

So I'm assuming Arnold isn't coming back in this movie so is there any word on who's playing the good terminator?

There's some rumors going around about Vin Diesel being considered.

I was about to gag at that information, given we were just given the nice surprise of Bale being in the film, but it's possible that he could work actually work well as a terminator...hmmm. Still up in the air on that. Has it been confirmed that Bale is actually playing someone evil in the film?
