While filming for the new terminator movie, a photographer accidentally walks into the shot during filming.

Hilarity ensues.

Apparently, this happened in July of 2008, but wasn't released until a few days ago.

I saw this.
Here are some snippets of what I had to say on the Terminator wiki

"Hahahaha. That was awesome.

He should take a lesson from his American Pyscho character and pop some Xanax, jeez.
It doesn't really mean anything since I never knew the guy, and never will, but I lost complete respect for him. What an *******. If ever meet him my first words will be " **** you, you ****ing, **** "

"If you went to work and did this to a co-worker, would this be acceptable behavior? What would your boss think? What would your other co-workers think?

It's not about meltdowns. I admitted I get angry sometimes. It's about keeping it professional. Someone mentioned something about stressed. I worked 12 hours in a fast paced environment 6 days a week for a while. Overwork can let you slip. But not for 3 minutes. And it wasn't about degrading a co-worker. It was about something else. I've been in a supervising position, and if I had problem with someone being an idiot, I told them to GTFO. I didn't degrade them like that. This is about someone who has issues, and needs to work on solving them.

"Two wrongs don't make a right. From the sounds of it, the guy did make a mistake. Did the other people in the scene get angry? No. It was Bale. And as mentioned, Bale is known for doing this. I don't know ANYTHING about this. I never knew he acted like this on a regular basis until this post. But from what I've read, this guy is a jerk. There are a ton of jerks out there, and I'm one of them. I say what is on my mind. But I do it outside of work. "

It wasn't a photographer, it was the DIRECTOR of photography. So it wasn't just some random stage hand, it was an integral member of the crew.

No, you blithering ****. Russell Crowe threw a phone at someone, at a hotel, because he's an arrogant, hot-headed wanker. Christian Bale, on the other hand, was working on a film. Now I can see that if you're a gossiping, tabloid-reading idiot you might think it qualifies as the same thing, but for a movie like Terminator Salvation the work days are well over 14 hours long, often seven days a week. It can take hours just to set up one shot, and many hours and even days to complete shooting a scene. And when one idiot ruins hours of set-up, not just for the actors but for the entire crew, it is not unreasonable that someone is going to be bloody angry. Even more so for Christian Bale as he is one hell of a serious actor.

I'm very indifferent to the whole thing,

as Jin said the clip and the news stories to go with it are short on the details leading up to the outburst. Who knows at what point during the day the incident happened and what had been happening beforehand.
People of our generation should not be subjected to mornings.

I MIGHT agree with that if he wasn't arrested last year for verbally abusing his Mother.
Think while it's still legal.

They hate each other, his sister and mother were after money, something like 100,000 to pay for something. While I would like to add that to the "Bale sucks" list, that one is in Bale's favor.

The point is, the guy has issues. That's all. This whole rant was with in reason for the first 20 seconds.... Then it kept on going... and going ...

Unless he was preparing for an "Angry" scene, I'm shocked an actor has such poor control over his emotions. I mean if he was filming an "angry" scene, that's a great way to prepare. If not, BOO!


Did no one check out the remix? It's awesome.

BALE SMASH!!!!

but seriously people on the crew should not be walking into the shot especially if it's the director of photography

he may have taken it a bit too far with his yelling at the guy but being pissed off in such a case is easily justified

It also wasn't the only time he did it.

What's really funny is that it seems the more mad he gets, the more British he sounds.

I'm actually pretty sure this is the least shocking thing I've ever heard about an actor.

Now that I've listened to it, it really reminds me more of this than Russell Crowe:

If you think the waiters are rude, you should see the manager.

So, it's on Wiki ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_bale#Terminator_4_set_incident

And, of course, the to preserve the last line before it's undoubtedly removed:

Originally posted by Wiki:
In July 2008, it was reported that Bale had an angry tirade on the set of Terminator: Salvation. In February 2009, audio of the incident was released. The tirade was directed at Shane Hurlbut, director of photography, for Terminator: Salvation and was triggered by Hurlbut stepping onto the set during filming.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference">[50]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-50" class="reference">[51]</sup> The recording is of a highly agitated Bale screaming profanities at Hurlbut, threatening him, and finally threatening to quit the film if Hurlbut walked on set again and was not fired. It was reported that Warner film executives sent the tape to the insurer of the film in case Bale decided to quit the movie.


In an interview with E! Online, assistant director and producer of Terminator: Salvation Bruce Franklin said it was an isolated incident. In the interview, Franklin said:


"If you are working in a very intense scene and someone takes you out of your groove...It was the most emotional scene in the movie," said Franklin. "And for him to get stopped in the middle of it. He is very intensely involved in his character. He didn't walk around like that all day long. It was just a moment and it passed."<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference">[52]</sup>
<sup id="cite_ref-51" class="reference">
</sup>
Of course all the quotes in the world won't chancge the fact that he Christian Bale takes himself far too seriously. He is making a movie not saving lives. The majority opinion on the internet is that Christian Bale is a douche bag.

I find it interesting that he sounded so AMERICAN for that...I mean, I guess he's fallen into that accent pretty solidly. I'd have expected him to drop right back into his original accent.

Christian Bale is the man.

His anger does sound kinda justified (albeit a bit over the top), like when he mentioned "how many times you are walking around in the background".
Everyone knows to stay the hell off a live set.
