Speaking about his role in the movie, Christian revealed that he is well aware that he is not the star of the cyborg film.

Christian Bale and his wife Sibi Blazic attend the premiere of Terminator Salvation at Le Grand Rex on Thursday (May 28) in Paris, France.
The 35-year-old actor recently admitted that he almost turned down the starring role in Terminator Salvation. “I said no. I wasn’t sold on it. I just didn’t see the point in making another chapter in this mythology, I just imagined there was never gonna be one,” he told Wales Online.
“I think the human story has to be present (in Terminator), but I don’t want to be deluded and pretend this is supposed to be some analysis of the human condition. I mean it’s not,” Christian said. “We’re not making a highbrow arthouse movie here. We’re making a movie that’s here to entertain people and give them a great, good time for 10 bucks for a couple of hours.”

Termination Salvation (and Star Trek) star Anton Yelchin is a 20-year-old actor with “probing intellect of a man four times his age,” according to UK’s Dazed & Confused magazine.
“I was totally, immediately in love with acting,” he says. “There’s such potential for catharsis, for analyzing the human condition; for exploring yourself. I mean, I can’t work on myself for s—, but sometimes through the characters I find something deep inside myself that ends up really affecting me. It’s hard to be self-analytical, but with acting, you do find that you’re suddenly learning something about yourself.”
Anton philosophies, “There’s no emotional rest with acting. You’re always kind of in it. Which is how it should be, actually. I wouldn’t want it any other way.”
Reviews for Terminator Salvation have started to surface. The flick, which opens this Friday (May 21), stars Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Helena Bonham Carter, Anton Yelchin and rising star Jadagrace. Check out the first reviews:
Variety: Heath Ledger stole The Dark Knight away from [Bale] and Sam Worthington heists Terminator Salvation from Bale, for the most ironical of reasons: In a movie that poses man against machine, Worthington’s cyborg is the far more human character.
Hollywood Reporter: The machines rise to the occasion. Too bad the dramatic element’s just as robotic… An inescapable truth remains: It’s just not the same without the Governator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Anton Yelchin suits up for the premiere of his latest movie Terminator Salvation at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday (May 14).
In the film, the 20-year-old actor portrays Kyle Reese, a character who is both the father and protégé of future-savior-of-humanity John Connor (Christian Bale). Anton also plays Russian space cadet Pavel Chekov in Star Trek.
“It was very surreal, but at the same time, I’m very very lucky to be able to play these characters,” he says. “Aside from the fact that these are huge movies, the thing I love about this craft is that it’s challenging and fascinating in every way. These were challenges I loved taking on.”
When asked if he prefers playing Connor or Chekov, Anton says, “I don’t know. They’re very different. I’d love to be a gun-wielding bad-ass. I’d love to be sitting here with a shotgun right now.”

Anton Yelchin is on the brink of stardom and featured in the pages of VMAN magazine’s actor portfolio for its summer 2009 issue, on stands May 14.
The 20-year-old actor is set to be featured in what’s sure to be two of the summer’s biggest blockbusters. In Star Trek, he plays young Russian space cadet Pavel Chekov. In Terminator Salvation, he steps into the role of Kyle Reese, a character who is both the father and protégé of future-savior-of-humanity John Connor (Christian Bale).
“I hope these movies do well,” he frets. “They cost a s***-ton of money.”
Anton observes, “The opportunity to be an actor is the opportunity to experience so many things. You’re selling yourself short if you don’t don’t try as many characters as possible.”
FYI: Anton’s parents were both star figure skaters in their native country and fled the Soviet Union when he was 6-months-old.
