Christian Bale

It was recently revealed by the director of “American Psycho” in an interview that the inspiration for Christian Bale’s portrayal of the lead character is Tom Cruise. Bale played the role of Patrick Bateman, who is the protagonist of the film.

In a recent interview with the Black Book magazine, Mary Harron, who co-starred Bale in the movie, was quoted as saying how “Martian-like” Bateman was, “how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave”.

Harron also added, “And then one day [Bale] called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy”.

Bale was quoted as saying in a 2000 interview with Barnes&Noble.com, that he had complete faith on Bret Easton Ellis, the author of American Psycho, to have included agonizingly detailed violence in his book. This, the actor believed, was required to highlight the fact that Bateman’s “obsession with details” was the source of his insanity.

“That’s what I see about Bateman – his fixation on minutiae, and absolutely needing to get an answer for every little tiny thing, even though all the things he’s interested in are completely shallow,” Bale said.

Christian Bale clears fog by saying,”I was out of order beyond belief.”

Christian Bale had suffered days of fan attacks. There were several sections saying varied things about Christian’s vulgar abuse tape being circulated on the internet and read by millions. The opinions started churning when Bale decided to come to the fore and say something to validate his stand. Christian Bale finally says: “I was out of order beyond belief.”

A week laden with shocks, statements, jokes and several opinions, at last all stands still. Bale decides to open up to save his own. Christian Bale had ranted at the director of photography on the set of “Terminator Salvation” and the abusing audio was leaked on the internet that cast spell. He owned up to his mistake and apologized for his bad behavior. Bale took the right road hereafter. The Dark Knight star surprised both his own publicist and Warner Bros., the studio behind both “Terminator Salvation” and the ” Batman” franchise (which stars Bale as the Caped Crusader), and called into FM radio station KROQ with a ‘mea culpa’.

Bale told KROQ disc jockeys Kevin Ryder and Gene “Bean” Baxter, “I acted like a punk. There is nobody who heard the tape who is hit harder than me. I make no excuses for it. It is inexcusable.” Bale looked very remorseful and his apologies are heartfelt.

Bale further explained his violent behaviour. He said that he was so within his character that he forgot everything else. He reveals : “I was trying to show a little of that in the blood craziness. It went very wrong. . . ,” Bale said. “I made it ugly. That was awful of me. I took it way too far. I mixed up fact and fiction. I’m half John Connor there.

I’m half Christian there.” This is in context to his belief that he was just trying to feel the madness of his character. In his interview he revealed that he was just summoning an air of madness for his character John Connor, who is trying to save the human race from the evil Skynet computers. In doing this he apologises that everything went terribly wrong from his side.

McG, the Director of the Terminator series, however had full support for his actor. McG was heard trying to douse the fight that broke on the sets of his new film. In the audio McG is heard saying Bale and the Film crew to stop all that was happening and calm down. While Bale expressed remorse, his director went on the record to give the incident some context. “We all know how intense and focused Christian is,” explained “Terminator Salvation” director McG in an interview. McG explained the situation as something which was a very normal thing that could have happened and which is nothing to go ga-ga about. These things are pretty normal in a film set. McG, in his interview with The Times, further
said : “What happened, it was a catalyst for some steam being blown off. We felt safe and controlled. In very short order, people were hugging and we had moved on. Shane finished the picture…”

Whoopi Goldberg

Academy Award winner Whoopi Goldberg has supported Christian Bale for his wild ranting serenade on the movie set. Whoopi justified Bale’s behaviour by saying that this was a very normal thing to have happened on a any given shoot. Whoopi also said that it was very unjust to drag the matter so much. She revealed that in her film career she herself had acted like Bale in several occasions which was bound to happen during any filming sets.

Bale has been supported by several co-stars and film crews for his ranting which is presently a hot internet topic. Whoopi, The ‘Sister Act’ star, insists that many artists, including herself, have lost their tempers after working long hours on films. It was a very normal process to happen.

Christian Bale was audio taped blasting out at director of photography Shane Hurlbut, of new ‘Terminator’ movie. The approximately 4 minute long tape says : “Seriously, man we’re f***ing done professionally. I want you off the f***ing set, you pr**k.” DOP, Hurlburt apologised several times but all in vain. on the set of McG’s “Terminator Salvation,” things turned worse with Bale demanding McG to fire all the crews. As Shane Hurlbut tried to apologise, Christian reportedly lost it all and shouted : “I’m going to f***ing kick your f***ing ass.”

Christian Bale was caught, blasting out, on tape, at a film crew, of his film, ‘Terminator Salvation’. The audio clip of the actor revealed Bale delivering swears and full blown abuses at DOP, (Director of Photography)Shane Hurlbut. Bale is heard ranting out Director McG’s Assistant, Hurlbut. The audio has been leaked on the internet.

All hell broke loose when Bale was taking a shot when Hurlburt was seen romping the set thus making Bale go ballistic. Bale reportedly used several F-words directed at Hurlburt and even at McG, the Director of ‘Terminator Salvation’. Hurlburt went on apologising and tried to make Bale understand that he was only trying to se the light placement and he had no intention of destroying the shot or Bale’s concentration.

However Christian Bale’s ‘Terminator Salvation’ co-star Terry Crews has come to the actor’s defence after the inter leak. The Dark Knight star could be heard angrily reprimanding an assistant director for walking onto the set while Bale was shooting a scene.

Christian Bale sounded so furious and heated up that he demanded the crew member be fired. Bale continuously hurled abuses and profanity at the careless assistant. He went further in attacking McG and demanding to walk away from the film if the same crew was seen in the sets the next day ! Hurlburt came to the rescue and appeasement. He coaxed Bale to relax. McG did the same thing and , matters cooled to some extent.

Bale’s co-star crews however insisted that the matter was being blown too much out of proportion and had a damning effect overall. The crews supported Bale saying that too much is being made of the actor’s outburst and the thing said and done should be left aside by the media.

A co-star revealed : “Anyone can have a bad day… I’d get mad too if I was the number one star in the world and people started to mess with me. He is a class act! He is one of the greatest actors ever. I’m vouching for him. I know he’s a nice guy. I know he’s all about his work.”

Bale’s controversial tape has been reportedly sent to the insurance company supporting ‘Terminator Salvation’. The reason being the unsurity surrounding Bale, just in case the actor decided not to complete the film following the incident.

Whoopi Goldberg has also defended Christian Bale’s curse-laden movie set rant insisting she has snapped in similar circumstances. Whoopi said that these things are part and parcel of film shootings. Oscar winner Goldberg insisted that the critics leave alone Bale. She felt that all should give Bale a break, admitting she has reacted similarly under pressure.

Speaking on U.S. talk show The View, which she co-hosts, Goldberg says, “We don’t know if this is at the end of the day. We don’t know how many hours he’s been working. And it’s tough. I too have gone off at people.”

Christian Bale reportedly told the director of ‘Terminator: Salvation’ , McG to literally “f**k off” when the ‘Dark Knight’ star was approached by the director to star in the new ‘Terminator’ movie.

Director McG is the ‘Charlie’s Angels’ director. It was revealed that although in the initial stages Christian Bale had refused to portray John Connor ‘Terminator: Salvation’ but after going through the scropt Christian Bale was superbly fascinated and won over by the script.

McG revealed: “I met Christian when he was shooting ‘The Dark Knight’. He told me to f**k right off, he didn’t want to do it. He said, ‘Write it so that it could be read cold on stage and I’ll think about doing it.’ ”

The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ director had hinted on Arnie’s cameo role. But the present political status of Arnold Schwarzenegger who was the original star, can at the moment offer his cameo and nothing more than that. Though insiders believed that Arnold was to deliver more than just a cameo but the governor of California is all but being present on the sets of ‘Terminator: Salvation’, sparking speculation he was set to film a cameo in the movie but it is now believed he was there to be motion captured for the computer-generated character.

Arnold Schwarzenegger will appear in the film – as a CGI character. This is what the director of the film had hinted on. McG added to Total Film: “We’re trying to synthesise a human character with a CGI character and that may or may not have something to do with the T800.”

There are a lot of things that have been said about The Dark Knight. Many records have been broken and a lot of statistics have been redone. Last week the Christian Bale and Heath Ledger starer had yet again achieved another landmark in its successful box office run.

The Hollywood biggie that opened to audiences some weeks ago has created history in numerous fronts. Last week it earned yet another feather in its cap when the total earnings went up way beyond the $10 million mark. The movie has broken the previous record held by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest that had grossed $300 million in 16 days. The Dark Knights second weekend earnings are also without precedent even though there has been the expected 50 percent drop in sales that is usual in second week earnings. The Dark Knight will also break the previous record held by Shrek 2 that had reached $400 million in a week’s time. The movie is all set to grab the best statistics that has only been acheived by Titanic in Hollywood history. In related news Chritian Bale has been given a thumbs up by his Terminator Salvation director. The 34 year old actor has been called a passionate actor and a good family man. Bale is suppoed to attend the Tokyo premiere today.

After being away from the promotion of his film The Dark Knight for sometime, Christian Bale was back doing his job. Christian was spotted attending the Barcelona premiere of his latest film The Dark Knight on Thursday evening after charges of assualt were leveled against him by his mother. The police however chose not to press charges against the actor and released him on Tuesday.

Christian was accompanied by his wife Sandra Blazic at the Barcelona premiere. He did pose for the photographs however avoided any questions that were directed towards him. As rumors have it the brawl between mother and son was because of the wife. It was because of certain things that were said about Sandra by mother Jenny that kicked off the fight on Sunday evening. This blew the lid and the actor went ballistic and lashed out at his mother and sister. The actor is currently filming for his new movie Terminator 4. This is the first movie in the franchise that would not feature Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead. The actor has been reported to have lost his temper on the sets of the film too.

According to Christian Bale’s attorney the actor has denied the allegations that have been made against him by his family members. Christian Bale, star of the blockbuster The Dark Knight, that is breaking all records, was arrested in Belgravia on Tuesday. This was in response to a written complaint made by his mother. An alleged incident took place between the star, his mother Jenny and sister Sharon.

The Dark Knight star was staying at a hotel before going to The Dark Knight premiere on Monday evening. The actor was questioned and then released on Tuesday.  What exactly happened is subject to conjecture however the family is being tight lipped about it. Gossip suggests that the feud resulted from the actors mother abusing his wife. On Tuesday Bale came in to report his side of the story. He left the police station only after he had aided the officers with the legal case. No charges are being made against the star as of now but he needs to return in the month of September for further inquiries on the case.

The Dark Knight has gone onto become one of the biggest grossers ever in the opening weekend race. Breaking most of the records from the time of its release the superhero saga is going from strength to strength and achieving one milestone after another in order to bring about a new Batman genre that surpasses all. With The Dark Knight debuting at a record $66 million it broke the record previously held by Spider-Man 3, which opened with $59.8 million last year. Spider-Man 3 lost its titles to The Dark Knight as the biggest-ever opener and biggest-ever single-day grosser.

If the going is as good as it has been so far studio experts predict that by the week’s end, The Dark Knight should have a total weekend take amounting to almost $155 million. This would be much better than the previous record of $151.1 million held by  Spider-Man 3. Till date the Christian Bale starer has the midnight record surpassing 2005’s Star Wars: Episode III—Revenge of the Sith that had made $16.5 million by earning $18.4 million. It has also gone ahead of  the widest-release record that was previously held by 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End of 4,362 theaters worldwide. The Dark Knight has been released at 4,366 theaters. Great word of mouth with positive reviews and exceptional performances by Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger has helped The Dark Knight to become one  of the biggest summer releases of all times.
