I’m not exactly sure where this came from (likely a magazine scan?), but /Film reader Christopher M got his hands on another new photo of Christian Bale as John Connor in Terminator Salvation. It looks like Connor and a crew of survivors are traveling through an underwater bunker half-filled with water. I’m pretty sure this if from the same scene that is shown in the first teaser trailer with the cool shot of the T-100 series terminator rising out of the water in the background. Just a guess.

    This must be that "emotional scene" where he hunts down Shane Hurlbut. Hasta la vista, baby!
  • REAL6
    Bwhahahahhahaha
  • I wonder how long it'll take for Bale to live that down.
  • either when Terminator is #1 at the box office or when there is final casting news for Batman 3....it's nothing that will hurt his career...Peter is right if it was a smaller project with an unknown actor he'd never find work again....I think the key is that Bale is "good" actor and takes his job seriously...if too seriously...the man is committed to an extreme degree
  • I have to wonder if that whole thing wasn't just a publicity stunt for free promotion. I mean everybody is in talks over the situation, and the movie received loads of free publicity. Christian's rep isn't hurt any worse than when his family got him arrested.
  • Is this a behind the scenes photo of Bale hunting down the DP? Sorry couldn't resist, cool photo though and I still think this will be good... even if it is McG directing.
  • haha. good one
  • whsmith
    the actor he's working with looks like a f^cking amateur!
  • ahhaaha... sick burn
  • I'm really excited about the film!
  • freemachine
    Bale should go on SNL and make fun of himself yelling at the cast and crew. I think that's the best damage control possible, though an apology to the T4 crew (for having to sit through his tirade) would be appropriate. Who knows, maybe Bale already apologized to Hurlbut in private.
  • I don't know if he'd go on SNL at any point...he doesn't really do comedy and considers himself a "real" actor...not some flavor of the month that has to do SNL to get asses in seats...
  • I don't know if he'd go on SNL at any point...he doesn't really do comedy and considers himself a "real" actor...plus it really doesn't matter if he apologies..it won't stop people from seeing Terminator or the next Batman film
  • REAL6
    ALl jokes aside, i agree with you. If he starred on SNL and did that, people would love him ten times more. But we know its never gonna happen.
  • Dvq
    cool pic, Bale regardless as how douchie he can get to be sometimes (im on his side), he definitely adds seriousness to all of the projects he gets involved with.
  • When Bale finds that DP, he's GONNA KICK HIS FUCKIN' ASS!
  • This is awesome. Bale will not live this down until he does something else.
  • seriously, after bale's outburst, mcg's terminator movie can only pale in comparison when it comes to the drama...hell, james cameron's terminator movies pale in comparison!

    seriously, what's more quotable, 'I'll be back' or 'You're a nice guy! You're a nice guy! But that don't f***ing cut it!'? i know which one i'm going with; that's 'i drink your milkshake' levels of greatness right there :D

    What is the purpose of releasing this pic today? Are the studios trying to quell the anti-Bale rhetoric perhaps? Maybe - just maybe - Bale could release a statement. Something apologetic, explaining his mind set at the time, his unprofessional behavior? That would help more than this random who gives a crap photo. I mean, regardless, people are going to see a Terminator movie - so the studio shouldn't be scared. As for Bale doing some damage control on his own rep - that's a whole different ball of wax my friends.
  • Grieves
    what a professional.
  • Kyle
    Isn't this picture just a grab from the trailer?
  • hman
    He's on the hunt for the DP!
  • Wow, did you come up with that one all by yourself??
  • Bale's ranting isn't new; it does not mean he's a bad person. It was douchebag move, but I've done things similar (and things that I've regreted.

    Lucky for us we never heard Gary Oldman's infamous rants on the sets of his movies back in the day.
  • true. i'm reminded of hearing how well bale and crowe got along on 3:10 to yuma, to be a fly on the wall when someone ticked BOTH of those guys off!!!!
  • gah
    I love how the fact that Bale has a temper comes at a suprise to some of you. He always seemed like that guy to me, thats why he ends up playing the characters he plays.
  • I dunno he seemed pretty calm in American Psycho, in fact he was quite ecstatic running with a chainsaw and sneakers.
  • Asset
    This screen shot reminds me a lot from the movie, Aliens.
  • Corey
    I can only imagine what he said on the set of TDK, anyways, cool pic, I guess?
  • if you look in the back corner you can see someone checking a light...look really close.

    in all seriousness its cool photo
  • I have this image of a Terminator rising up behind the team and quickly 'ripping' apart one of the members before all Jesus-Christ-hell breaks loose. Or it could be that emotional scene the Director of Photography was referring too...
  • See those lights in the background? They need moving.
  • Haha i dont think we are ever gonna let it down...i fell every new terminator news will have a pun to the event
  • I dont know if theres something stopping me from getting excited for this film! but i just dont feel the hype
  • freemachine
    Me too. T3 was awful and I suspect the franchise will never be the same without James Cameron at the helm.
  • tirade aside, i still cannot wait for this movie to come out. i really enjoyed McG's style even though the charlie's angels movies were not the greatest. i hope that he hits this one out of the park.
  • 790
    Wow he's carring a assault rifle through water, ooooohhh aaaaahhhhh.

    That's supposed to blow me away ???
    Comical.
  • Aside from Bale going crazy a few days ago, this is a nice image of a good looking scene.
  • MovieReviewerGuy
    I wonder who took those still pictures? Could it be a DP who's about to get his ass kicked!
  • Middlefinger
    It's not like anyone affiliated with this film (in front of or behind the camera) will win an academy-award anyway!
    This B-movie/action-movie will be on video before any one of us finishes saying the word "tirade".
