Maggie Q and Christian Bale Get Sign It Onna Dotted Line Fever
The writers may be striking, the U.S. may be sinking into its yearly turkey-induced coma, but the casting goes on.  IESB reports that despite rumors that the forthcoming SAG strike will shut down production, "Wolverine" is still finding faces.  Maggie Q ("Live Free or Die Hard," "MI3") is reported to be the front-runner for the role of the Silver Fox, Wolverine's love interest for the prequel film.  IESB confirmed that Silver Fox will definitely be in the film, and it's possible Q has already inked the deal to play her.

Meanwhile, Christian Bale brings a whole new level to the rumors around "Terminator 4."  Ain't It Cool News has an anonymous tip that Bale will slip on his messiah shoes and play John Connor in the film.  However, over on CHUD, their trusted source says, yes, Bale's in the movie, but as the Terminator.  Either way, this is good (if baffling) news for fans.  Bale is known for only attaching his name to quality work, and while recent installments of the Terminatorverse have been underwhelming, his presence in the film suggests the script he's seen is solid.
