Actor Christian Bale told the Chicago Sun-Times that shooting in Chicago for the past few months has been very pleasant and they haven't received the media blitz that Angelina Jolie has received while filming Wanted there.

"We have been very much left alone here in Chicago," explained Bale.  "Everyone has been very respectful and there haven't been any problems.  Obviously, when you're filming such a huge movie you can't keep filming locations secret, but there haven't been any incidents."

As for why he hasn't received the media frenzy that has been bestowed on Ms. Jolie?  "Unlike Angelina and Brad, I guess - thank God! - nobody gives a damn about me," said Bale.  "And I ain't gonna complain about it...I'm here to work and so is she.  When I work, I totally block out just about everything else and just concentrate on the film."  Bale does expect to get a full report on Wanted from co-star Morgan Freeman who is currently doing double duty for both films.

And how is Bale holding up filming during Chicago's notoriously humid summer's?  "I only worked in Chicago for about a week and a half [for Batman Returns]," said Bale.  "This is the first time I've spent a decent amount of time in Chicago.  I've liked it a great deal.  Everyone was telling me I was going to have a horrendous time simply because of it being summer and the humidity in the Batsuit would be horrible.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be...But there has been a certain amount of pooling of sweat following me every time I move."
