Christian Bale got a little angry on set - He's the Goddamn Batman

This is apparantly the audio of Christian Bale on the set of Terminator Salvation. Obtained by TMZ and recorded for insurance purposes, it starts off a threat hurled at cinematographer Shane Hurlbut to "kick your fucking ass. I want you off the set you prick!"

He then goes on. There's one point when it sounds as if Bale is charging at poor, poor Hurlbut.

yea this was posted on imdb almost instantly. really unprofessional behaviour from bale. you just cant talk with a DP like that, anyone for that matter. if anyone, its McG bale should be concerned about, i mean hes not in charge of the set at all is he? he doesnt tell people where to be when the camera is rolling and he cant stop the actor with the biggest ego on set.

also, it very much reminds me of the angry fits that german actor KLAUS KINSKI used to get every now and then. watch this for example.
it's him fighting with the cook at the set.

Ah, Kinski how mad he was. Nice one Pat

Bale is being unprofessional here. Way over the top, and nobody respects people who lose control. McG is also a pussy, a director should be taking control of his set, not some actor.

Lost all respect for bale after this

ps. Know where the actor is coming from, this happens a lot on amatuer films, and a set should be sacred for an actor, but he just got off on this rant too much. Overstepped the mark

i've always thought bale's opinion of himself to be far bigger than his talent. sure he can act, but he'll never be one of the great ones.

I dig all of his films but I think a part of him will always be the child actor from Empire of the Sun.
