Christian Bale on “The Dark Knight”

Here is an interview to get my readers pumped for the upcoming sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight. Christian Bale returns to the big screen as Batman/Bruce Wayne. The interview talks about the advantages of the new Batsuit as well as reflecting upon working with Heath Ledger, who takes on the role of the Joker. But here is a paragraph that really got my attention,

Bale is next taking on another iconic role — that of John Connor in Terminator: Salvation. He says he hopes the fourth film in the series will revitalize the franchise much the same way Batman Begins did for the caped crusader. “We have an opportunity and I believe a responsibility to do the same thing in term of reinvention, revitalizing, bringing new life, otherwise there is no point in making it,” he says. “That is my aim and anything less will be a failure.”

Terminator 4, wow. I wonder if this movie will be set in the future and show humanity finally defeating Skynet and the machines. That is about the only plot premise I’ll consider paying money for. However, I do think that Bale is an excellent choice for an adult John Conner. Here is the link:
