Title: How come WE aren't talking about Bale losing it on the set of Terminator 4?
Post by: The Fake Shemp on February 04, 2009, 09:00:06 AM
In case you didn't hear it yesterday, a full recorded audiotape surfaced with Christian Bale exploding on the set of Terminator 4 (http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/020209_christianbale.mp3) - at some the Director of Photography for "fucking up" his scene.  Like, it sounds as if he was going to fight him.  And no offense to the DP, but if BATMAN told me he was going to kick my ass, I'd beg for forgiveness.

The most interesting part of this whole debacle is that the studio sent the tape to an insurance company that insured the film if Bale, uh, bailed.

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.

To be fair, Episode II did touch the very inner reaches of my soul - and twisted and warped it to the black void that exists today.  I've been slightly more cynical and sarcastic ever since George Lucas thoroughly raped my childhood with that installment.  It was the day my innocence died.

Can you imagine cameras documenting your every attempted private moment. This moment was something that occurred in the heat of a moment on set between professionals. The audio is so clear on Christian, that it's obvious a mike was on him or a foot and a half above him. These are the sorts of moments that are private affairs. Yet somehow, because he's an actor. We feel it's permissable to air his dirty laundry. It isn't our business. It isn't anybody's fucking business.

Because maybe we didn't want to join the witch hunt? For a DP to walk in to an actors line of sight, on more than one occasion while he's in character and doing a scene, Bale had the right to be pissed.

And yes, to that degree.

All actors are scum and can go fuck themselves. Overrated, overpaid and oversensitive prima donnas are the worst of the bunch. Given the ridiculous money these shitholes make for their "efforts," they should be able to play their roles undistracted even if their heads were set ablaze.

i was an extra in a couple of films made here in wilmington, and i remember all kinds of people moving around behind the scene while shooting was going on - they weren't making noise, just doing whatever the hell it is they were supposed to be doing

no one said shit about it

one of the movies was billy bathgate, directed by robert benton, who is no amateur

Depends on the context and what you're doing, which I doubt a 3 minute audio clip can accurately capture. I'm not condoning blowing up like that, but it happens...it just usually doesn't get recorded.

Well, maybe he yelled so intensely at the DP because it was an emotionally powerful scene.  Like, maybe John Connor saw the love of his life and his kid getting sucked into a vortex, but he could only save one of them.  And then the DP walked in his line of sight.  That would make me so angry that I too would yell at the DP and then go home and beat my mom and my sister.

I'm just saying we shouldn't blame Christian until we hear his side of the story.

This is me.  Probably why I don't get all the fuss.  I've yelled my head off over things considerably stupider than work-related issues, and probably for quite a bit longer too.  We're allowed occasional moments of idiocy.  A better indication of character, I think, is how soon you're able to get over it, forgive and forget.

Nobody took a shit and it wasn't some random "lighting guy" - it was the director of photography, arguably one of the most important members of the crew on set.  Now, tweaking your lights during a take is obviously a faux pas, but at the same time, Bale went totally insane. 

As someone who has worked on his fair share of movies (that is to say, just one), this isn't that surprising at all. I've witnessed actors going off on even the directors and producers, so it's not a shock. And these were C/B- level actors! So you could imagine how someone in Bale's position could react (well, you don't have to imagine..).
