First Look at Helena Bonham Carter in Terminator
Tags: helena bonham carter, photos, stills, terminator salvation
The first picture of Helena Bonham Carter as a Terminatrix Serena in “Terminator: Salvation” has been released, showing the actress with a partially damaged face that reveals a primitive metal endoskeleton. The Daily Mail says
Helena Bonham Carter is to star in the new Terminator movie - but she will not be human.
The actress has already revealed that she plays a villain in the prequel, Terminator Salvation, telling an interviewer: ‘I kind of play a baddie, definitely a baddie. I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say, but I’m a very bad person.’
Fun fact about the film: to save money, make up artists on the set didn’t create a damaged prosthetic to plaster to Helena’s face — they simply took an old piece of latex and swabbed it against Paris Hilton’s vagina for twenty seconds. “At first we tried melting the latex with an acetylene torch,” one artist is quoted as saying, “and then we tried coating the latex in formaldehyde and using it to stamp out a grease fire. But nothing worked as well as Paris’ puss. It really looks like half of Helena’s face has been blown off.” Paris was reportedly more than happy to help once she saw there were cameras rolling.

Sweet, I was at a press conference with Mc G and the stars and the movie seems like it may just be good. Also, anyone who likes Terminator should watch Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Fridays on FOX. No I don’t work for them, I just really like the show, and Summer Glau, and Lena Heady, and women in general. Mmmmmmmm, women. But not in a Hannible Lecter way. In a John Holmes way, but without the murder and death by AIDS.
Wait, what was I saying?

The Sarah Connor Chronicles is fantastic! Summer Glau is definitely the ultimate geek fantasy
By the way, did you see her appearance in a recent episode of The Big Bang Theory?

My dork-o-meter is off the charts. Probably because it’s pointed at my pants.

“Summer Glau is definitely the ultimate geek fantasy” - She’s a nice girl too, but very quiet and shy in person. Missed her on the big bang, but that title is very subliminal.
Oh Abby, I have not yet began to titillate and stimulate your dork-o-meter
