Harry Knowles of AICN explained the Christian Bale controversy and defended the guy a little bit. The reason for the tirade was that the DP lighting guy, Shane Hurlbut, was shining them huge stage lights around while Christian was filming a scene, that is what pissed Christian off.
I agree with Harry, that I think the media is exploiting Christian just to make him look bad, to make Christian look like an asshole when he really isn’t.

TMZ posted an audio clip of Christian Bale on a temper tantrum, screaming at film makers while filming “Terminator: Salvation”, swearing and threatening them with violence and everything.

Me thinks, Christian hasn’t been the same since Heath Ledger died, I think he’s still upset over the death of Heath.
On top of that, I think the film makers of “Terminator: Salvation” deserved the smackdown by Christian 100%. Sounds like they were giving Christian a hard time, being a bunch of dicks to the actor (you can hear the crew laughing at him in the background).
This is why Hollywood film makers shouldn’t piss off their actors. The actors are worth a lot of money being paid over $20 million for just one film. Honestly, Christian isn’t doing anything wrong here, sounds to me the crew provoked him and he lashed out in return.
Nice job Christian, show them shady Hollywood film makers that you aren’t to be messed with!!!

McG just signed iconic music composer, Danny Elfman, to score for “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins”. Those who don’t know who Danny Elfman is, he has scored for many of Tim Burton’s flicks such as “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”, “Edward Scissorhands”, “Batman” (w/Michael Keaton), “Batman: Returns”, etc.
Elfman says the music for “Terminator Salvation” will be different than the first three flicks. That means we won’t be hearing that classic loud drumming sound we usually hear through them, but Elfman says he will leave a door open for an apperance on that classic drumming .

Very cool. Eflman’s one of my favorite movie composers and he’ll do a good job at this. He won’t dissapoint. I always thought his best musical score was the work he did with “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure”, while that’s not everyone’s favorite movie, the music is really good in it though and that’s what makes me a big fan of that film, seriously. The music of “Pee Wee’s Big Adventure” really draws people into it whether you like this Pee Wee character or not. That’s how amazing of a score composer Danny really is. The guy is a legend.

McG, the director of the new Terminator film “Terminator: Salvation” announced there is a mystery character called the T-RIP, as a mystery name as of now.
A new set of merchandise of 5 characters will be released, merchandise of the young Kyle Reese, Blair Williams, the T-600, and Marcus Wright. In the link below, there is a fifth character but it is blacked out for you to figure out. It is a mystery character in “Terminator: Salvation” that McG is not revealing until May 6th. It was immediately speculated that it could be Arnold or John Connor as a Terminator but McG said no to both of them.
See it here:

Hmmmm, carefully looking at the blacked out picture, it is obviously a shape of a Terminator machine. Looking at the name “T-RIP”, it is obviously a Terminator from the earlier 3 Terminator films. If you look at the right arm, it is halfway torn off. Does this fifth Terminator rings a bell yet?
Could it be the T-800 from the first Terminator film? The original machine that Arnold once played? No, because McG denied anything that has to do with Arnold. My other guess it could be the Robert Patrick – Liquid Terminator, the T-1000.

“Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” is also being released into a video game as well. The video game version hits stores everywhere around the same time the movie comes out in May. The game looks sweet and looks a lot of fun to play. Another game to add to my wishlist and will pick it up when it comes out.
Enjoy:

James Cameron who is the director of the first two Terminator films, “Titanic”, and the new upcoming film “Avatar” spoke out on the new “Terminator Salvation” that McG is directing. McG has repeatedly said in the past that Jimmy Cameron was involved in helping out with the new Terminator flick and said that Jimmy had McG’s blessing.
Turns out that McG lied. Jimmy Cameron revealed that he is no part of the “Terminator Salvation” flick and never gave McG any blessing.
More on it here:

Well, lets hope that McG didn’t lie about Arnold being involved too.
While the trailers of “Terminator Salvation” looks impressive, I have a feeling it will be a stinker.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and his wife Maria Shriver visits the cast and crew of “Terminator: Salvation” on their filming set.
In these pictures, you can see Arnold himself chatting with Christian Bale. Bale is the man wearing the black shirt, wearing sunglasses and has a shaved head. Seems like Arnold and Christian are just hanging around, just joking around and laughing.
See the photos here:

Give this post a read:
The word “Salvation” means protect and to save. So John Connor obviously have to save someone in the 4th Terminator flick.
Come on McG, stop teasing us that Arnold is gonna be in it ’cause we all know he’s in it anyways. We know that entire post is reffering to Arnold’s Terminator character all the way. They aren’t fooling us!
