I dunno how many people have heard this, but I'm pretty shocked to be honest. I didn't think he was an absolute asshole and the accusations of him beating his mum are probably true after listening to this.

seems the DP was fixing some lights as the actors were performing and Bale just flips out. It sounds like he's on roids

It's quite funny it was caught on tape and will be interesting to see how people react to this when the actor is at the peak of his career

hahahahahahah yeah i knew he was a prick. man. you know the thing that gets to me about that is it would be so easy just to turn his fit back on him and make him look like the idiot he actually is but i guess he's the big famous guy or something cos everyone just kind of lets him get away with it. i believed he hit his mother and sister, when i read about it, cos it was just something so out of left field and he got arrested and all that shit.

i'd kind of like to meet this guy...give him a little piece of my mind.

Accidents happen out of negligence, this happened out of spite. Spite, ill will, vengeance. Vengeance means revenge, Shane. I'm sure you know what revenge means don't you?

shane is the dp he was yelling at. this is actually really funny.

To be fair to him... I'd imagine that filming a film of that size on such a timeline probably means that a good number of people snap here and there. On the other hand he went mental.

I have to admit though, his angry voice is fucking manly.


btw this is amazing:

his timeline would go a lot smoother if he'd not have rants that lasted longer than it would take to just film the scene

yeah this is pretty good, i would want to see him play an asshole in a movie.

his timeline would go a lot smoother if he'd not have rants that lasted longer than it would take to just film the scene

BUT THEN THE GUY WOULD GET IN THE SCENE AGAIN. D:
And again.
And again.
And again.

And they would never ever finish the scene.

ahahahahaha

I'd just tell security to carry his punk ass out. BYEBATMAN BYE SSEE YAH LATER!

MMMMMMMM I'm a delusional piece of shit that somehow accomplishes to forget I am fucking human and lose all touch with reality.

People like this deserve to have a company that gets paid to go out and kick the living shit out of them to keep them in check.

Edit: OH WOW THEY'RE STRESSED OUT! Isn't a viable excuse either, he's acting like a goddamn child and I wish someone on that set had the balls to punch him in his fucking mouth instead of stuttering like a bunch of pussies.

"I was looking at the light." "Oh good for you! And how was it? I hope it was fucking good because it's useless now isn't it." - My favorite line.

I don't have much room to talk though, as I've had band practices that sounded sort of like this.

Bale has temper problems, no shit. But you guys are not taking this audio in it's proper context. The dp is adjusting lights, sure, but he's adjusting lights in the middle of a scene. That is a big no, no. See, every dp knows only to fiddle with lights before and after a shoot, it's the professional way. It's the way it's been done for like 50 years. The dp is young and kinda new, and was warned several times by Bale not to adjust the lights while shooting. This particular scene however, was a very sensitive, high stress, scene involving Christian Bale and Bryce Dallas Howard.

This clip (which was recorded months ago) was obviously leaked to embarrass Bale. In this specific instance, I think the reaction of the internet is fucking unjustified. The dp was being extremely unprofessional...

HE'S AN ASSHOLE BECAUSE THE DP ADJUSTED THE LIGHTS WHILE THE CAMERA WAS ROLLING EVEN THOUGH HE TOLD HIM NOT TO FIDDLE WITH THEM WHILE THEY WERE SHOOTING SHAME ON HIM CHRISTIAN BALE IS AN ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so what? there is no reason for him to act like that. Fire him or have him removed from the set until he can get it right.

Psyburn I thought you were smarter than this... OUT OF CONTEXT AHAHAHAHA! There IS NO FUCKING CONTEXT that guy could have just taken a dump in bale's coffee and that would still be a drastic overreaction. I hate people like this and I don't care who it is if someone got in my face, YELLED AT ME LIKE THAT, and threatened to kick my ass I would probably punch them in the face and go looking for another job...

And I'm the most docile tempered person you will ever meet! Its principle, I would clock that motherfucker out of principle alone.

so what there is no reason for him to act like that. Fire him or have him removed from the set until he can get it right.

Psyburn I thought you were smarter than this... OUT OF CONTEXT AHAHAHAHA

But it's common sense not to adjust lights in the middle of a scene! He was warned not to do it many many times and completely ruined the take!

Fire him or have him removed from the set until he can get it right.

Movies cost a lot of money, you can't just fire someone or remove them from the set. Especially one of the key production figures.

SO? That does not give ANYONE, let alone mother fucking batman to act like a total piece of shit there are CIVILIZED methods to dealing with shit like that

Oh yeah but you can stop the set to bitch at someone for like 5 minutes (who probably quit afterwords anyway) and get caught on tape doing it! They're going to loose tons and tons of money because of this THINK PSYBURN THINK

EDIT CONCERNING YOUR EDIT:
Ok but you can't ruin $$$$ of film, tensions, emotions, and the entire take by doing the biggest NO NO by a director of photography who did what EVERY DP KNOWS NOT TO DO EVER DO YOU NOT GET THAT.

Also no he did not quit. That incident happened MONTHS ago also! Movie business is not that easy dawg. Also, they're not going to lose money dude this is TERMINATOR ok.

I want you to reread that

I think this describes what I am trying to say

I can't believe I actually have to debate this.
