Co-star Comments on the Christian Bale Tirade

Dignan — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 02:31:08 +0000

One of Christian Bale's co-stars from the upcoming Terminator Salvation movie, Terry Crews, is trying to cash in on his 15 minutes from the now infamous, Bale Terminator temper tantrum. From Hollyscoop.com:

When Hollyscoop spoke to Crews on the red carpet at the Los Angeles movie premiere of “He’s Just Not That Into You” he had nothing but good praises for the temperamental actor.

“I’d get mad too if I was the number one star in the world and people started to mess with me. He is a class act! He is one of the greatest actors ever. You can catch anyone on a bad day,” Crews told Hollyscoop exclusively in defense of Bale.

Crews added, “I’m vouching for him. I know he’s a nice guy. I know he’s all about his work. He’s one of the greatest actors out there.”

Hold on everybody, I think the public's perception of Christian Bale is all wrong. Terry Crews, the guy who acted in films like Norbit, Soul Plane and White Chicks is vouching for him. Hmmm….let's review a few lines from the Christian Bale transcript:

Christian Bale: KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!

Bale: No, shut the fuck up Bruce!

Bale: Fuck-sake man, you're amateur. McG, you got fucking something to say to this prick?

Bale: I'M GOING TO FUCKING KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS IF YOU DON'T SHUT FOR A SECOND! ALRIGHT?

Bale: You do it one more fucking time and I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired. I'm fucking serious.

I guess that poses the question: How do you define a "class-act"?

A person who threatens bodily harm on a co-worker.
A person who insults the expertise of a co-worker when they have no prior experience in the field (the last time I checked imdb.com Bale has no experience as a cinematographer).
A person who threatens to have co-worker fired for breaking their concentration twice.
A person who humiliates a co-worker for nearly four minutes straight (sometimes "I'm sorry" doesn't cut it).

Yep, that's how I define class-act.

Christian Bale angry on set of Terminator Salvation

Dignan — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 21:00:29 +0000

Chirstian Bale is a serious actor and probably one of the nicest men in show business as long as you're not within 100 yards of him on set. The crew of Terminator: Salvation are a bunch of fucking amateurs, which include McG (Director), Bruce Franklin (Associate Producer & First Assistant Director), and this biggest amateur in cinematography who doesn't understand what it's like working with actors, Shane Hurlbut (Cinematographer). Well, below is the best I could do and I must apologize for crediting McG for several lines that probably belong to Bruce Franklin. Oh, and one more interesting transcript fact: Bale uses the word "fuck" or a variation of the word (fucking, fuck-sake) 80 times in 3 minutes and 49 seconds, which equates to fuck popping up every 2.86 seconds. Enjoy:

Christian Bale: KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS!

Shane Hurlbut: Christian, Christian –

Bale: I want you off the fucking set you prick!

Shane: Christian, I'm sorry.

Bale: No, don't just be sorry, think for one fucking second. What the FUCK are you DOING ? Are you professional or not?

Shane: Yes I am.

Bale: Do I fucking walk around and rip down –

Bruce Franklin: Christian, Christian –

Bale: No, shut the fuck up Bruce! Do I want – no! No! Don't shut me up.

Franklin: I'm not shutting you up.

Bale: Am I going to walk around and rip your fucking lights down, in the middle of a scene? Then why the fuck are you walking right through? Ah da da dah, like this in the background. What the fuck is it with you? What don't you fucking understand?

Shane: (inaudible)

Bale: You got any fucking idea about, hey, it's fucking distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce in the middle of the fucking scene? Give me a fucking answer! What don't you get about it?

Shane: I was looking at the light.

Bale: Ohhhhh, goooood for you. And how was it? I hope it was fucking good, because it's useless now, isn't it?

Shane: Ok.

Bale: Fuck-sake man, you're amateur. McG, you got fucking something to say to this prick?

McG: I didn't see it happen.

Bale: Well, somebody should be fucking watching and keeping an eye on him.

McG: Fair enough.

Bale: It's the second time that he doesn't give a FUCK about what is going on in front of the camera, alright? I'm trying to fucking do a scene here, and I am going "Why the fuck is Shane walking in there? What is he doing there?" Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you're doing that?

Shane: I absolutely apologize. I'm sorry, I did not mean anything by it.

Bale: Stay off the fucking set man. For fuck-sake. Alright, let's go again.

McG: Let's just take a minute.

Bale: Let's not take a fucking minute, let's go again. And have YOU fucking walking in! Can I have Tom put this on please.

Franklin: Can I have Tom in wardrobe please? Can I have Tom in wardrobe?

Bale: You're unbelievable, you're un-fucking-believable. Number of times you're strolling-a-fucking around in the background. I've never had a DP behave like this. Ehhh…you don't fucking understand what it's like working with actors, that's what that is.

Shane: No, that's –

Bale: That's what that is man, I'm telling you. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. You wouldn't have done that otherwise.

Shane: No, what it is, is looking at the light and making sure, that you are, ugh –

Bale: I'M GOING TO FUCKING KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS IF YOU DON'T SHUT FOR A SECOND! ALRIGHT?

Unknowns: Christian, Christian. It's cool.

Bale: I'm going to go…Do you want me to fucking go trash your lights? DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING TRASH YOUR? Then why are you trashing my scene?

Shane: I'm not trying to trash your scene.

Bale: You are trashing my scene!

Shane: Christian, I was only –

Bale: You do it one more fucking time and I ain't walking on this set if you're still hired. I'm fucking serious. You're a nice guy. You're a nice guy, but that don't fucking cut it when you're bullshitting and fucking around like this on set.

McG: Alright, I know, let's, let's — (inaudible) –

Bale: Yeah, you might get it. He doesn't fucking get it.

McG: I got it, I know. I get it. I get it. I know.

Bale: You might. He. Does. Not. Get It.

McG: We made good adjustments. For real, honestly. I get it. Just walk for five seconds.

Bale: No, I don't need any fucking walking. He needs to stop walking.

McG: I get that –

Bale: I ain't the one walking. Let's get Tom and put this back on and let's go again. Seriously man, you and me, we're fucking done professionally. Fucking ass.

Christian Bale F-Bombs Terminator Set; “It Was Just a Moment,” Assistant Director Says

Dignan — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 16:04:26 +0000

Of course somebody has come to defend Christian Bale and it happens to be one of the men he told to "shut the fuck up" during his July 2008 rant on the Terminator: Salvation set, Bruce Franklin. It's either some honest damage control or a sycophant's wet dream. There's some serious bullshit coming out of Franklin's mouth – "it was the most emotional scene in the movie…he is very intensely involved in his character….it was just a moment." Why can't somebody associated with the film just say it – Bale acted like a complete asshole. We all have bad days and there's no excuse to treat another human being like that. From E-Online:

But although Bale's behavior makes us think twice about taking tea with the Brit, let along working with him, Bruce Franklin, an assistant director and associate producer on the fourth Terminator film, tells E! News that Bale, a "consummate professional," just had a bad day.

"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. "This was my second movie with Christian, and it has always been a good experience with him," added Franklin, who also worked with the actor on 2000's Shaft. "He is so dedicated to the craft. I think someone is begging to make some noise about this, but I don't think it's fair. The art of acting is not paint by numbers, it's an art form. "

Transcript of Chirstian Bale’s Terminator: Salvation Flip Out
