Helena Bonham-Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange in the
Harry Potter films), has been cast in Warner Bros. forthcoming film
Terminator Salvation, in which, according to the actress, she will play:
Quote:
"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."
She further discusses part of the reason she chose the role:
Quote:
"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 will be in theatres May 22, 2009.
