Moon Bloodgood has had quite the career thus far. She started off as a Lakers girl, landed a role as a stripper in CSI (seriously, she was credited in the episode as “Stripper”), and then suddenly she was starring in two major, albeit short-lived, television shows, Day Break and Journeyman.

It appears she’s not slowing down. She’s been cast alongside Christian Bale in “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins,” the fourth film in the franchise and supposedly the first of a new trilogy. She’ll reportedly be playing “a no-nonsense and battle-hardened member of the resistance who is carrying a lot of guilt over surviving the nuclear holocaust.”

So basically she’ll act like a total manly bitch for the first quarter of the movie and then she’ll sacrifice herself to save the rest of her crew. It’s science…

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins is the fourth installment in the Terminator series and the first of a new trilogy. Warner Bros. has set May 22, 2009 as the official release date for the film which will pick up shortly after the original trilogy left off. Christian Bale, the go-to guy for franchises in need of rejuvenation, will star as an adult John Connor doing exactly what John Connor has always done: fighting Skynet. I’m pretty psyched about it even though I don’t remember any of the original three films. Good thing I have well over a year to catch up.
