Mcg wants day-lewis for terminator

CHARLIE'S ANGELS director McG has his sights set on Oscar winner DANIEL DAY-LEWIS for his TERMINATOR sequel.

The filmmaker already has Christian Bale onboard the sci-fi project, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins, and now he's hoping There Will Be Blood star Day-Lewis will sign up for his first blockbuster action movie.

McG, real name Joseph McGinty Nichol, tells WENN, "I'm looking for credible actors. We've already got Christian Bale, who is one of the greatest actors of his generation.

"I'd love to get Daniel Day-Lewis, but I don't know if he goes in for this kind of movie."

The 39-year-old faces a tough task winning the Brit actor over - he famously leaves lengthy intervals between movie projects, and rarely takes on big budget projects.
