Bale 'proud' of 'Terminator Salvation'

Christian Bale has revealed that he is proud of Terminator Salvation despite reports that it failed to impress critics.

The actor, who was originally offered the role of killer robot Marcus Wright, admitted that he would only appear in the film if he could play John Connor, according to Yahoo! News.

It is also understood that the star wouldn't sign on to the McG-helmed project until a "major script rewrite" took place.

"We ended up with a script in post-Judgement Day world which is really something quite new, and I love the mythology myself," Bale said.

"I really got excited by the idea to be able to recreate that and revive it."
