Hollywood, Kodak Theatre.
Today, numerous Ancient Egyptian-style decorations were set up in front of the entrance. Giant posters hung from the top of the theatre, showcasing Christian Bale parting the Red Sea with a shepherd's staff.
The premiere of Warner Bros.' latest production, "Pharaoh and the Gods," which cost $160 million to make, was about to take place as the opening blockbuster of the summer season of 2011.
In a Mercedes on its way to the red carpet, the agent kept reminding Bale, "If you see Martin Davis at the premiere, don't pay any attention to him. Just stay away; tonight is your premiere, so don't get physical."
Getting physical in public would indeed result in a beating, and with so many media reporters around, it would seriously damage one's image.
The agent knew that Bale was particularly sensitive about Martin, so he dared not speak these words out loud.
