Christian Bale Explodes

Last July, TMZ reported that Christian Bale had an on-set blowup at the DP for Terminator Salvation. The audio recording of that event was released by TMZ today and I have extracted and enhanced the audio below so you can hear as much of the conversation as possible. The parties apparently involved are Bale, cinematographer Shane Hurlbut, ASC, 1st AD and associate producer Bruce Franklin and director McG.

Here’s my enhanced version of the audio — it has not been edited for content or length and it gets pretty rough, so be warned:

Personally, I think Hurlbut should have shut up and not argued with Bale who seemed to be cooling down about half way until the DP opened his mouth again. I also think McG and Franklin were cool under the pressure and were decent at attempting to control the situation. Bale’s a big dude, too, so I would have been like Bryce Dallas Howard (who is obviously present) and stayed quiet and let Bale calm down. I’m actually on Bale’s side here. Well, actually I’m on the director’s side, but…whatever. “Let’s walk for five seconds…”

And for good measure: here’s Bale Out: RevoLucian’s Christian Bale Remix!:

En route to a shoot I was almost involved in a serious car accident. Click to listen to my audio post from the cell phone afterward.

Driving through a Friday evening drizzle, I was late for a wedding rehearsal when I phoned in this audioblog. Keep in mind I’m half-asleep, driving and talking on the phone. And to myself, no less.

I’m going insane. Thankfully, with free nighttime minutes, my insanity doesn’t cost me anything.

Part I: It’s 5 am and I say the word “retarded” because it’s MY blog!

Early one Wednesday morning I was reading a famous series of books about an author’s repeated abductions by extraterrestrials. I was both sleepy and terrified.
