Christian Bale

LolaLuv

I think the idea that only women suffer from PMS should be refuted based on this alone. Hormonal evidence be damned.

He comes across very well.

Placebo

jesus, lost respect for him there

Ostrom

Very un-batman

MagicMarker

He should have just returned some video tapes.

X-Calibre

Wow..

Hes not batman....

Sharpshooter

Seems the DP ( someone enlighten me ) does this a lot, and walking across a take and ruining it costs thousands of dollars a time.
He should have taken him down.:D

LolaLuv

I wish this were a video. I'd love to watch him say "eh de duh de duh like this". You know it was accompanied by an excellent hand motion and maybe a little jig.

Ostrom

The DP? Director of photography, decides on lighting and sets up the scene for proper exposure

amcalester

Probably just fully immersed in character, if that DP walked out in front of a Terminator and gave away their position that'd be the end of John Connor.

Quackles

He's so beautiful, though He can swear at me anytime.

A fake hand maybe?

Loopy

He sounds very American in that.. Jesus, if its him I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him - didn't he beat up his mother or sister last year...

Caliden

I still love and adore him

Was thinking that myself there was something about him being arrested last year, forget what it was about.

It's sickening when people recognise actors from their most well-known films. I mean the nerve...

never liked him anyway. Don't think he's the best batman, the stupid voice he puts on is just distracting but this is shocking. What a a**hole!!

He says how the DoP is being unprofessional but it sounds like Christian actually physically goes for him. :eek: Terrible!

Caliden

To be honest you can see where he is coming from. For someone to be moving around in the background while you're trying to do your job it would be distracting.
He probably didnt get his coffee in the morning either.

Give the lad a break

What are you on about, American Psycho is a brilliant film.

lostexpectation

been a fan since empire of the sun, hows that, what other films did he do back then?

he's dead on imho

super_furry

What a dick.

What if the DP actually messed up though? I would have reacted the same way given the strenuous deadlines that these productions are given.

You have to admire the way that when Christain Bale shouted at him, he only referred to things on set; "you're a nice guy but that doesn't cut it", "you and me are done professionally"

Tommy the Cat

American Psycho the film is coated in candy compared to the book.

Loomis

"No, let's not take a minute. Let's go again."

Wow, someone likes to run things.

"Doesn't know what it's like to work with actors"?
Don't think anyone knew until we heard this tbh.

Jesus, was it that bad? The do another take. It's not like they don't do 15 takes of everything anyway.
And his moaning didn't hold anything up rather than just get on with it? Utter moron.

Are you having a laugh?
I wouldn't admire anyone who thinks they can speak to another person like that. He's rich talking about professionalism when he acted like that. Even if the guy did mess up your boss has no right to speak to you in that manner let alone a colleague. Which when it comes down to it they actually are; or clearly he assumes he's more important and has a right to do that.

Just read that apparently the D.P wasn't even in the background of the scene, he walked in front of the director and this distracted Bale!!! Idiot.

I agree American Psycho wasn't that great. Saw it in the cinema and while it wasn't the worst i was bored toward the end.

What, why? To quote SATC, it's the crazy ones that have the good pills!

Faith

That's unbelievable. He really had a lot to get off his chest!

Poor, poor form.

Placebo

you cant threaten to beat someone despite them making a 'mistake'.
Furthermore, he was being a total diva, saying he was gonna leave the film.
Hes only an actor himself in the film, the director should have told him to shut up.

krust

he´s a badass

echosound

The director didn't seem to be in charge at all, McG says he didn't even see the DOP walk across the scene, what was he looking at in fairness? Shouldn't a director's focus be on the scene that's being shot? And shouldn't the director be the one to have pulled up a crew member disrupting shooting, rather than it being left up to an actor?

I have to admit, I giggled all the way through the clip, a video would be priceless, with all the attendant facial expressions and flapping of arms with awkward onlookers shuffling their feet and looking nonplussed.

We've all had bad days where we've just exploded, and I'm sure he was having a tough week (this happened just a few days before the incident back home with his mother, around the time of the Dark Knight premiere). Who knows, perhaps this was the upteenth time the DP had shuffled about on set and this was the last straw?

I just wish I was as coherent and together on the rare occasions when I lose the plot, instead of just roaring unintelligible random stuff and turning purple with rage.

*take notes for future reference*

LOL! They've remixed it now

(probably goes without saying but don't play on speakers if you're in work...:) )

Larianne

If the camera starts rolling it's quiet on set meaning there's no noise, movement etc. I'd be rather pissed off too if some dude is fiddling with his lights or making a comotion. I don't blame Bale for loosing the plot when trying to do his job. Actors have to wait around while lighting, sound, set, background extras, make-up/hair etc. are all adjusted so getting distracted upsets all of this and they have to start again. The director of photography should know better! The way Bale reacted was out of order but then a professional Director of Photography should know better! And it seems it wasn't the first time the DoP was messing about. Really it was up to the assistant director, not director to calm the situation. (assistant directors are the scary ones!)

I also thought you could hear Bale's English accent come out more. I thought he always sounded American, no? Like me when I curse, my Dublin accent comes out proper.

Welsh, isn't he?

Superb rant btw, and the youtube remix is exquisite.

Anyone know if he's related to Gareth Bale, the Welsh Tottenham Hotspur leftback?
They look quite similar.
