“It’s Terminator, it’s not fucking Pride and Prejudice is it?” he told reporters during a press conference to promote the aggressive movie. “You know what you’re stepping into. You take a few hits, you take a few knocks. We all tried to do as much as we could before the insurance company caught on.”
Regarding co-star Christian Bale, the Dark Knight actor who plays resistance leader John Connor in director McG’s post-Judgment Day Terminator movie, Worthington said: “I find Christian extremely passionate and dedicated. People call him intense. I hate that fucking word, man, hate it. Christian turns up, does his job — it’s all about the story and the character. To work with a guy like that is actually a privilege.”
Terminator Salvation opens May 21. See an exclusive image of a Terminator robot, plus a trailer for the movie, below.
