Shane Hurlbut, what the f*ck are you doing!? That was the question being asked of the man on the set of Terminator Salvation back in July by none other than the movie's star Christian Bale. It has just been made public.
If you needed proof the British actor takes his craft seriously have a listen to this audio of the time he went all American Psycho on Hurlbut, after he allegedly interupted a scene.
Here's a taste of Bale going bat-shit ... ah, I mean ape-shit:
"Don't just be sorry, think for one f*cking second!
"No! No! Don't shut me up!
"Am I going to walk around and rip your f*cking lights down in the middle of a scene!?
"Why are you walking ... daa da daa da daaaa ... like this in the background?
""What don't you f*cking understand?
"Do you have any idea about ... hey, it's f*cking distracting!
"Give me a f*cking answer!
"F*cksake, you're amateur!
"Someone should be watching him and keeping an eye on him.
"I'm trying to do a f*cking scene and I'm going why the f*ck is Shane walking in there!?
"My mind is not in the scene if you're doing that.
"Stay off the f*cking set man?
"Let's not take a f*cking minute and let's go again! And let's not have you f*cking walking in!
"You're unbelievable man, you're unf*cking believable.
"I've never had a DP behave like this.
"I'm going to kick you your f*cking ass.
"Do you want me to trash your lights, you want me to trash 'em! Then why are you trashing my scene!?
"You do it one more f*cking time and I ain't walking on set if you're still hired!"
There's probably no excuse for Bale's rant, but he must've been deep in John Connor mode at the time, and Connor is afterall supposed to be a take-no-shit leader of the human race.
Or he's just got some serious anger management issues...

Gee, somebody needs to take a chill pill!!!
Bale has serious anger management problems.
It's almost as if the entire thing has been staged for the sound guy.
Curious that Bale remains in his American accent even though he has completely lost his cool.

He's actually one of my very favourite male actors, but I have to say, even if this is a perverse joke, he's kinda lost some respect from me.

I think there was a report at the time (last July) about him doing his nut on set. Maybe they put this thing together after the fact, playing up to it, havin' a laff.
But, either way, yeah, I still love 'im.
