That'll teach you to stay outta the shot.

 

[CelticPredator]

Hey SHANE!

FIX THE ^^^^ING LIGHTS NOW YOU ^^^^ING ^^^^^ AHAHHHH!!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

And why didn't McG (the director) step in and cool the situation?

Maybe Bale had an ax.

That'll teach you to stay outta the shot.

Why is it so hard for you guys to believe that maybe this DP guy really did ^^^^ up, multiple times, and he totally had this coming. How do you know what actually took place? You guys judge too quickly. This is just one side of the story. ( or coin )

You don't hear anyone defending this guy. You don't hear him defending his own actions. At on point it seems the Director agrees with Bale, maybe the feelings were mutual, maybe everyone there was thinking "FINALLY" How do you know. I'm sure Christian Bale is a dedicated actor and probably would work tirelessly to learn everything so he doesn't screw up a scene himself and get it done in one take. This DP guy was wasting film , time and money

Also lets look at the positive aspect, when Bale lost his composer, when he actually lost control and revealed his true self he didn't say anything racist or derogatory, sure he cursing up a storm but he didn't say anything specific. Also he doesn't sound like some whiny geek in real life His voice on the tape seems to be faithful to most of the characters he portrays on film, someone who takes his work very seriously and doesn't put up with bull^^^^. And I'm glad he takes it seriously, that he's trying to bring these characters to life that I care about and it bothers him when a scene gets messed up. This "stupid robot movie" is important to him. That's exactly the kind of guy i want making it, someone who wants it to be perfect. At least he wasn't like " oh that's okay i don't really give a ^^^^^, I already got paid, whatever"

So if they're both white, you'd expect him to pull an N-bomb? The whole tone of his rant sounded pretty derogatory to me.

 

[Centrocal]

I didn't know the guy was white, I also i don't know if hes Jewish or Polish. The point is, there is not enough information

Dr. M = random comment.....

 

[pixletwin]

I think its hilarious that most of you guys are condemning him for acting in a way that I am pretty sure most of you act on your ways to work every morning.

 

[LChinoz]

Bale needs to chill. He is still my favorite actor though

 

[TerminatorMan]

Bale is your favorite actor? What movies is he in that made him your favorite?

 

[jye4ever]

Wait

Why wasn't the Director pissed off, shouldn't he have been?

 

[CelticPredator]

Equlibrium
American Psycho
Batman Begins
The Dark Knight
The Presige

 

[pixletwin]

He has been one of my faves since I was 12 and saw him in Empire of the Sun. Still my favorite Bale movie.

My favorite Spielberg too really.

 

[Patient Zero]

Bale should STFU and do his job, which is act. If he had a problem there are better ways of going about it then belittle someone in front of their peers. :emperor

 

[CelticPredator]

Or maybe the DP could stop being an idiot and trying to fix something DURING a take?

Bale IS trying to do his job.

Bryce Dallas Howard (who plays Kate Connor) may have been on the set when this happened. Bale and Howard were doing a scene when the DP walked on.

McG wasn't there to see what happened, so I guess that's why he wasn't as frustrated as Bale. He did try to calm Bale down though.

Just listening to the clip again, it does seem like the DP has done this on more than one occasion.
