The vocalist known by the moniker Common will be joining the cast of Terminator Salvation. We get the following scoop from our friends at comingsoon:
Rapper/actor Common (upcoming Wanted) has signed on to co-star in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins for Halcyon Pictures, reports Variety.
Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin and Moon Bloodgood have already boarded the project, which will be distributed by Warner Bros. domestically on May 22, 2009. Sony will release the film in most international markets.
I am not usually enthused about singers getting acting gigs in feature films. More often than not it’s a recipe for disaster; although at times it works out fine, and the performance surprises everyone. I saw a film called Carnal Knowledge this weekend and Art Garfunkel was fucking awesome alongside Jack Nicholson.
Lets hope Common uses Garfunkel for inspiration rather than Elvis.
International friends – what are your thoughts on the casting of Common?
In order to acclimate myself to the sounds of Common, I have included a video for us to enjoy together.
