Recorded during the production of Terminator Salvation, the audio clip captures an enraged Bale lambasting the director of photography, Shane Hurlbut, for walking onto the set while a scene was being enacted.
Bale, screaming at the top of his voice, was furious with the mistake, insisting that Hurlbut’s professionalism was not up to scratch.
He also demanded that Hurlbut be fired from his position.
“I want you off the f**king set now, you p***k.” He demanded.

Wow. That guy could walk all over my back if he wanted as long as I got Bale’s paycheck!
Now that the whole story has come out, the guy really did have it coming. Imagine how pissed if you were working on the most important and intense part of a major project and some dude walked in, broke your concentration and started fiddling with the lights. The guy’s lucky he didn’t get a hatchet to the face.
I never knew the whole story but I could tell by the yelling that the guy walked in during a take. I’d be salty too. Not sure if I’d go through all that but it does sound like it wasn’t the first time it happened.
It wasn’t going to stop me from seeing Bale’s films either way.
