Christian Bale gets angry on the set of Terminator:Salvation, it seems the 'director of photography' is walking around on the set during a scene.

I can understand where he's coming from but there's no need to be such a to55er about it.    (if this is real that is, probably is but until it's confirmed you never know  )

If you listen to the whole rant he had the right to be upset.  Some actors have a hard time with characterization and when someone walks through a set it screws them up.  This guy didn't do it once but twice.  While I do not agree with his language and I think his threats were uncalled for, I think he had the right to be mad at some one that kept screwing him up.  How would you like it if you were working and one of your "coworkers" kept messing it up so you had to do it over again.  I dare say you'd be at least a bit miffed.

Happens a lot at my old job, but it was the manager who always mess up my display work. Difficult to tell her what was on my mind, but a lot of cursed words and worst was in it

Look guys, we really should be more understanding... i'm sure two films wearing an incredibly tight bat suit might have something to do with it... it'd be like riding a horse, but ten times worse... let the man vent a bit of anger 

Either that, or it's that he needs some serious head work over the loss of Heath Ledger, as the two were very close.

Is anyone old enough to remember the incident in 1963 when comedian Shelley Berman got into trouble for chewing out a young producer over a telephone ringing backstage while Berman was doing his act?  This was shown in a documentary that was being filmed for NBC, I believe.  I vividly remember it -- Berman was doing one of his monologues where he got really intense -- and a phone began ringing -- you could hear it clearly on the audio track.  After the bit ended, Berman went backstage and went into a tirade aimed at someone who looked like a high-schooler.  Because this included in a televised documentary, it was seen by many people who had been fans of Shelley Berman.  It nearly wrecked his career because he came off looking like a real A**hole, bit star picking on one of the little people.

Apparently this wasn't the first time a telephone ringing had interrupted one of Berman's shows -- and he had asked that backstage phones be silenced -- but his outburst really hurt his career for some time after the incident.

Iirc, Bale is a method actor, so having someone extra (and presumably not appropriately attired for the future war) would make it difficult to stay in the mindset required for the role.  It'd be like having Rowan Atkinson turning up at your grandmother's funeral and doing his Mr. Bean character - it doesn't fit the setting.

Where the heck is the Director in all this? Looks like a coward to me , not taking control of the set here. I think it is "McG." What a name. What a hack is more like it from what I've seen. I can only hope the film is worth the tension on this set.

I really like Bale's work and he is a superior actor, but this is quite unprofessional. I wonder how much money was lost while this "tirade" transpired. Oh well...

This is from the NYT:

No Charges Filed Against the Dark Knight

Compiled by Julie Bloom

Published: August 14, 2008

Christian Bale, below, the star of Warner Brothers’ most recent Batman movie, “The Dark Knight,” will not face charges relating to a reported assault, The Associated Press reported. The Crown Prosecution Service in Britain has ordered the police not to take further action against the actor, saying there was insufficient evidence to afford “realistic prospect of conviction.” Mr. Bale was arrested last month and questioned about whether he had assaulted his mother and sister at the Dorchester Hotel in London on July 21, a day before the premiere there of “The Dark Knight.” Mr. Bale, who denied assaulting anyone, said he voluntarily submitted to police questioning the day after the premiere and was released without being charged.

I can barely hear the DP at all. So theres a good chance the director was there and was trying to make him calm down, you just dont hear him.

In an interview on Entertainment Tonight last night, McG seemed supportive of Bale as a dedicated, intense actor.  It didn't sound like he supported the DoP in this incident.  The DoP had no reason to walk into the scene and interrupt filming -- which he did more than once according to the reports.  That's unprofessional behavior.  Bale may have gone a bit overboard in his response, but the DoP was clearly the one in the wrong and behaving unprofessionally.
