Coming off fresh from Sweeney Todd, Helena Bonham Carter is suiting up for Terminator Salvation, the upcoming sequel which stars Christian Bale as the mankind’s savior. The film is currently shooting in New Mexico, and looks at the origins of the battle between Skynet and the humans.

Details of Carter’s role are being kept under wraps. It is, however, described as being “small but pivotal.”

The film is expected next year.
