Talking About The Franchises

wenn1530580.jpg

Christian Bale is one busy guy.

He has the premiere of The Dark Knight approaching this month and he's also starring in the new Terminator movie, out next year.

In a recent interview, Bale was asked whether there would be a possibility of a third Batman movie.

To that, Bale responded, "The possibility of doing another one is completely Chris Nolan's decision and if he's doing it, then absolutely."

Nolan is the film's director and co-writer.

Bale continues that Nolan's "presented himself with a huge challenge of surpassing this one I believe, and very much so with surpassing the Joker as a villain. You know, how do you up that? It's a very tricky thing to do. If anybody can do it, I think Chris can. So that's his choice."

You know Bale wants to cash in on a third film!

But, luckily for him, he has Terminator Salvation to make him even richer.

The film, being directed by McG, is due out next summer.

When asked about this movie, Bale says, "My feeling is that we have an opportunity and a responsibility and there's no point in making it if you don't achieve this of re-inventing that mythology and there's a great deal of potential for that, and that's what I'm attempting to do. Anything less than that would be us failing."

Will U be watching both movies?

    14. 14

      Batman? Definitely. Batman's been my favorite superhero movie since I was younger.

      Terminator, not so much. The last one bored me to tears to really look forward to the next one.

      23

      Christian Bale is THE shit. I will see any movie that has his name on it because I know 100% that it will be good. He is an amazing actor who I also believe is extremely under rated. Not to mention - he's gorgeous.

    26. 26

      I am definitely going to see the midnight showing of The Dark Knight for Heath Ledger and Christian Bale. I will give Terminator some thought since Christian Bale will be playing John Connor. BUT the last Terminator movie was a cure for insomnia.

      hot, rich, good actor, british accent…what's not to love!



    28. 28

      AB-SO-F@#K-ING-LUTELY! Christian Bale is a Supa-Dope Hottie! Me-ow!



    29. 29

      Listen to all you "Baleheads"… well guess what? I'm one too. And with good reason. The man is pretty much close to perfect. He's not only an incredible actor, (aside from Batman - think American Psycho and Equilibrium), he gives to a plethora of charities, loves animals, excellent horseman. He and Heath were close friends. Can't wait to see him in 2009 as John Connor in, "Terminator Salvation." Oh yeah……

      Though, not very excited about McG directing Terminator. Bale should have been nominated for an Oscar for his role in Empire of the Sun.

      Christian Bale is what god was striving for when he created man in his image. I will see anything he is in because looking at him is worth the price of admission.

    46. Anon says – reply to this


      46

      Be very careful, Prez…I happen to adore Christian Bale.(LOL!) If you really want to appreciate just how talented he is, rent a movie called Empire of the Sun, by Steven Speilberg. Bale was barely 12 years old, and played opposite John Malkovich and Miranda Richardson in an amazing movie about a young British boy who was in love with airplanes. He gets separated from his parents in Shanghai, at the outbreak of WWII, and gets locked up in a prisoner of war camp by the Japanese. He has to learn to survive by his wits. Christian was totally brilliant. The movie was brilliant.Look at Empire, then look at American Psycho and you will see what an awesome actor you're talking about. I also love that he is so cool about talking about Heath Ledger, who cannot speak for himself.

      51

      Christian Bale is THE BEST ACTOR of my generation. He manages to be devoted to the craft of acting while maintaining a lasting marriage and a private life for his daughter, whose name he won't reveal. I'm a true BALE-head!!!!! I'll see anything he does, first night opening.



    52. 52

      God bless Christian Bale… he is one hot guy!!!

    53. Diana says – reply to this

      57

      Everytime I think about the nasty things I'd like to do with this hotness, I am shocked back into reality that he's the little boy from Speilberg's "Empire of the Sun"…then I just feel pervy!

      the fact remains that since the early 90's these films have been done. Good and bad. Something inside me makes me want to hope that it's done now, with Heath being the Joker. I dunno, I'm a romantic like that.

      I have to disagree with saying that Bale just wants to cash in. Bale is a true actor in today's movie money industry. He does what he has to, to become the roll and doesn't just do blockbusters to make money (cough) Will Smith

      Love me some Christian Bale! I would watch this guy read the phone book! he's so talented, HOT, and underrated. I've been a fan for years, and am so hapopy he's finally making it to the A-list!

      EVERYONE SHOULD GO RENT "VELVET GOLDMINE" circa 1998 w/ Christian, Ewan McGregor and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Great film!!!!!!

      Christian is on the front cover of GQ AGAIN this August….!!!!! I have every movie he has ever been in…and I never tire of seeing all of them. He is the greatest actor out there…an actor's actor…so it's nice to see everyone else after these past several years now recognize that. AND when the Academy finally does they will stop being so damn irrelevant.

      Yes, I will be watching both movies. Christian Bale is at the top of his game. He's a brilliant actor, he's very intelligent, and an undeniably delicious man…not to mention the best Batman ever! Can't wait to see him on the big screen again…As for Terminator, is he playing the Terminator?? It would be strange w/out Arnold, but Christian definately has the potential to pull it off.

      oops

      christian obviously never read up on the history of the Joker

      He said that the director basically used his genius and vision to turn the Joker into a psychopathic killer.

      UMMMM

      The Joker has been a maniacal murderer since he was debuted in the comic books decades upon decades ago! Never was the Joker just a weird guy with a kinda sick sense of humor.

      Come on, Christian! Seriously?
