Bale Admits Going "Overboard" but Says Rant Shouldn't Have Been Leaked
Warner Bros. Entertainment
Christian Bale is still steamed at the Terminator Salvation crew. But now it's the sound guys, not the cinematography crew, who are the subject of his formidable ire.
Sure, the 35-year-old star admits to blowing his top on the infamous recording heard 'round the World Wide Web, saying he went "overboard" when he went off on the movie's director of photography for fiddling with the lights during an intense scene. But, Bale insists, the sound techs broke a sacred "trust" by leaking the recording of his rant and turning Bale into an Internet punch line.
"Hey listen, I did it, it’s in the public space. I take the consequences for it. I’m not hiding from that. I went overboard," Bale tells totalfilm.com.
"I’m not making any excuses, but there is an essential trust and it’s not a tacit one, which is every sound guy says, 'We are not only not recording, we are not even listening.' So, well, there goes that."
Mr. Method continues: "I do stress though, it’s not in anyway a trust that’s there to cover up bad behavior. It’s not about that. It’s an essential trust that’s needed for creativity."
Bale, who apologized to diatribe-targeting cinematographer Shane Hurlbut and fans after the tape became public, will see if his surliness scares away moviegoers. Terminator Salvation hits theaters on May 21 and then he'll star opposite Johnny Depp in the anticipated gangster flick Public Enemies, due out July 1.
