Part IV--Christian Bale on the Set

Part IV--Christian Bale on the Set

When we last left our hero, he was sleeping. . . zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I went to my nursing clinical and then work.

Disclaimer: I will not disclose anything that will ruin the movie.

Filming was being done near Mirror Lake State Park, located by Wisconsin Dells. They were dropped off quite far from where they filmed and had to walk quite a ways to get where they needed to be. Side note--the extras and stand-ins were transported by van from the base camp (At Jellystone Park--hee hee) to the set.

This is what "Movie Star" said (not a direct quote):
When CB arrived on the set he was disheveled and very ticked off! Swearing and everything. From what he heard, it sounded like CB did not have assistance getting dressed. No one tied his tie. He also arrived a little late. Wow--sounded like some heads might roll.

The scenes filmed at Mirror Lake were meant to be outdoor scenes of the escape from Little Bohemia. The car crash had been filmed the one night Movie Star wasn't there. But he was there for all of the other nights at Mirror Lake.

When you see the movie you will enjoy the part with Baby Face Nelson after the crash. That is all I can say.

There was high speed chasing and lots of shooting and dieing. He had a front row seat for the whole thing. On that night he was the stand-in for Baby Face Nelson. He did sit in the crashed car for a while.

He arrived home at 7:00 in the morning.

Other details will be forthcoming. I have to pick his brain for what I can share.

Sorry no pictures today.

To be Continued.
