article from Aint it Cool about how the DP is a moron. No way of knowing if it's true, but it would explain his blowing up at the guy.

Quote :

"Hey folks, Harry here... I'm getting slammed with assloads of people angry at me for not posting the Bale explosion from the set of McG's TERMINATOR: SALVATION. Well, first off - there's a real simple reason. It isn't news. And it certainly isn't cool news. It is a moment in a man's life taken completely out of context and most likely leaked to personally embarrass Christian Bale. Now, I know what a lot of you are thinking... There's no excuse for a temper tantrum like that to ever occur and if you are going to act that way, you deserve to be embarrassed by your own actions. Except, you want to hear the REALITY behind that clip? I know this because I happen to be somewhere where someone that was there that day and for the shoot is. And this person isn't a publicist, nor are they invested in Bale's career. They're just someone that thinks it is absolute bullshit that this moment in Bale's life is being aired and that the real story should get out there. The DP on TERMINATOR SALVATION, Shane Hurlbut, is a apparently a light tweaker. He's a fairly young DP and likes to fiddle with his lights on set during action, which is a big "NO NO" on most productions unless worked out in advance with performers. But apparently Shane was a pretty unrepentant light tweaker. The scene in question, was a very emotional and tough scene between Christian Bale and Bryce Howard. A scene that required soul bearing and a deep level of immersive concentration. The sort of scene where everyone on set knows not to get in anyone's eye lines, and definitely not to move lights around while FILMING. You lock that shit down before the scene starts. Bale had indeed warned the DP on multiple occasions about messing with lights while the cameras were rolling, and Bale was in the midst of a painful scene with Bryce, what was described to me as being the emotional center of the film and his character for the film. Now, the reason I know all of this is because the person that was there, felt that it should be made perfectly clear that Christian Bale was the utmost gentleman and cool guy on set. And the DP really was doing something that professional DPs with experience just don't do. Not during a performance. You don't need me to give you a link, it's all over the internet, I just felt that you should know what really went down - and that this particular outburst did indeed modify the DP's behavior - and for future DPs. Fuck with the lights before and after your actors are acting. Not during. "

without doing research, i can buy that

ask that aicn guy if bale tastes sweet or salty

2/4/2009 1:47:53 PM

given the context Id cut him some slack

2/4/2009 2:00:16 PM

I agree with Woodfoot.

2/4/2009 2:41:06 PM

Wow. Shane Hurlbut wrote his own bio on imdb.

You don't just hop out of college and immediately get to be a DP on major productions. A lot of people have to put in time being a key grip and shit like that before you get a shot at being a DP.

2/4/2009 6:08:02 PM

so, there's already a full soundboard for all of this... and SEVERAL music remixes of all this.

It makes "do it live" by O'Reilly look like a joke.

This one might be my favorite.

I know that was posted before, but I'm just saying that remix is my favorite.
I think it's insane how fast people will churn this shit out!

2/4/2009 6:59:45 PM

honestly

i've said it probably three times now

bale is used to a different kind of movie making experience
(look at the directors he has built his career with)

we're talking legends like Herzog and Spielberg, new top notch stars like Nolan, Mangold, Todd Haynes, hell even Gillian Armstrong counts

and now he's taking a risk and "slumming" it with McG, who isn't even fit to carry Nolan's jock

and at this point, a lot of you have been moved to the "people whose opinions on movies i don't respect at all" side of the aisle

2/4/2009 9:00:21 PM

no offense, but i dont really see how someone's reaction to this could cause you to not respect their opinions on movies at all. I love Bale as an actor and I doubt most people would disagree with your last post regardless of how they feel about the outburst. I see the correlation you are making with your stance and the reasoning behind it, but beyond that I don't see it being used to determine whether you respect someone's opinion on movies or not I guess...If that made any sense at all.

2/4/2009 9:10:53 PM

there are people who see movies as "serious business"

and there are people who see movies as "SERIOUS BUSINESS"

a lot of people have demonstrated which side they're on here

2/4/2009 9:15:32 PM

my stance has nothing to do with the seriousness of acting or whatever

Some photographer fucks up and it pisses off the person who is pretty much the main reason the movie is worth a damn... he's told to stop doing it, and then does the same exact thing again. I mean, you're either being a prick or you're a dumbass and you deserve to be yelled at. I wouldn't feel any different if it had been the most worthless scene in the movie. And then he doesn't just shut up, he tries to talk his way out of it which makes Bale even more mad

2/4/2009 9:49:13 PM

This makes me want to watch this movie now.

2/4/2009 9:51:38 PM

^my thoughts, pretty much

2/4/2009 9:59:55 PM

OOOOOOOOHHHHH GOOD FOR YOU!

2/4/2009 10:01:36 PM

i'm not sure why I care enough to have spent a large chunk of my day at work reading up on and discussing this with the dude in the cube next to me, but the more I listen to the clip the more it seems like the DP is the one who reacted like a dick. If you fuck up and piss off the actor, why the hell would you keep egging him on and not just shut the fuck up? It seems like the DP's professionalism is most in question, but maybe I'm just picking up on the wrong things. Either way, he and I are DONE professionally.

2/4/2009 10:15:20 PM

It seemed like he started to explain himself if a dickish manner.

You do not fuck with John motherfucking Conner

2/4/2009 10:20:31 PM

i love christian bale

2/4/2009 11:22:43 PM

I have a hard time feeling bad for some cocky actor screaming obsenities at this poor bastard. None of that shit was fucking justified.

So the guy ruined his scene. Big fucking deal. Maybe he can cry about it on the way to bang out some high-dollar whore. Or in between his swims in his money pit.

2/4/2009 11:30:41 PM

^how bout i come to your job and totally fuck up whatever you're working on all day long, making your completely lose all your work. talk to me then about whether or not being pissed off is an appropriate response.

2/4/2009 11:50:44 PM

I think Bale is an asshole, but I think a lot of actors are. This sort of thing is probably more common than we think, it's just that the internet makes it easier for this stuff to get out. I'll still see his films and probably laugh every time I see him get mad on-screen because I'll think about this incident.

2/4/2009 11:52:15 PM

look up the I <3 Huckabees blow up, it makes what Bale said look like it came form you goddamn grandmother.

2/4/2009 11:56:14 PM

^lol, when russel comes back in through the door, thats the hot shit right there

pay me $20 million dollars for a few months of work; and me knowing that you messing up my work isnt going to get me fired, and you can come mess up my work all you want

2/5/2009 12:11:44 AM

the dude didn't mess up the scene all day apparently it was only the second time he did it.

2/5/2009 12:25:31 AM

"only" the second time
?

2/5/2009 12:30:25 AM

2 times is not enough to justify 3 and a half minutes of that crap and threatening to beat his ass, but maybe 30 seconds

2/5/2009 12:32:06 AM

it's one thing if you empathize with this reaction, because you've also been mad at people fucking with you

it's another thing to justify this reaction, since millionaire actors should at least pretend to exercise humility

2/5/2009 1:08:55 AM

bah, get off Christian's ball sack.

2/5/2009 1:24:11 AM

Christian Bale and his Batman voice can eat a dick.

CHRISTIAN BALE... Moar leik Christian PHAIL AMIRITE?

2/5/2009 2:05:14 AM

I'm with Crede on this one.

2/5/2009 3:13:44 AM

me too.

I would have kept egging him on to the point where he would have kicked my ass.

Then I'd be a millionaire, too.

Celebrities are such a waste of skin.

Hahahahahahaha you act like this hasn't happened to anyone before. Do you have a job?

Someone saved over my shit and I lost everything I worked on for an entire day. Did I cuss that guy out for five minutes? No, b/c I'm not a spoiled sack of shit.

I make 60K. This guy makes 48398023 million. Fuck that self-righteous asshole.

2/5/2009 10:29:31 AM

the people that are bitching about how unbelievable this is are the same people that would rush in after the movie is released and complain about how poor the acting was and the characters didn't seem "into" the movie

give me a break

how about we worry about the country and the horrible situation we're in instead?

2/5/2009 12:19:34 PM

give ME a fucking break.

it's a terminator movie, what type of dumbass expects good character acting?

its christian bale though

It's a fucking internet message board entertainment section. I for one don't sit there and fucking worry myself 24 hours a day about the world's economic problems. It's OK to make fun of some actor that blows his top, for some reason I don't think it will change anything that happens to the world.

2/5/2009 4:08:07 PM

^ you're being selfish

worry damnit

2/5/2009 4:14:54 PM

he called into some syndicated radio show and said he was completely embarrassed about what happened and that he definitely overreacted. said him and that DP have worked together just fine since then. he also said the rumors that it almost turned physical were false, since the DP apparently is a big guy and would kick his ass anyway

don't have a link, just what i heard tonight

2/6/2009 10:47:56 PM

ahere's a link to his call to a morning talk show, apologizing more or less
