I guarantee you that Bale has had many outbursts prior to this, that is why the film executives recorded him. So they can use it for insurance purposes if he decides to quit making the movie. :violin
 
It is also possible that he took this to a higher level to get in character for an intense scene. Listening again, he is fast to do another take after his outburst.
 
Empire of the Sun is a great film. And I don't care what anyone says, Reign of Fire is awesome, and Bale rocks in that too.

If I had to spend an entire summer in a desert trying to imagine that im fighting killer robots only to have some guy holding a Figi water bottle walk in behind the Endo twice Id be pissed to.
 
Bryce Dallas Howard (who plays Kate Connor) may have been on the set when this happened. Bale and Howard were doing a scene when the DP walked on.

McG wasn't there to see what happened, so I guess that's why he wasn't as frustrated as Bale. He did try to calm Bale down though.

Just listening to the clip again, it does seem like the DP has done this on more than one occasion.

Wow, crazy ^^^^ indeed

Believe me, I'm not making excuses for the puts DP, very unprofessional...but

Bale also went too far with it and pretty much confirmed that he's a movie star prima donna who never makes mistakes, only others do.

You could tell that Mcg the director wanted to tell bale to stop being a spoiled brat.

Let me see, in the grand scheme of life...

The world economy is in near collapse, millions are losing their jobs and somehere there's a kid who was jyust diagnosed with a brain tumor and is being told that his parents lost their job and home.

Now that's a problem, not one or two scenes in a movie getting ruined with a retake needed.

I'll be glad to accept the millions that he's receiving to play with cool toys in a MOVIE of make believ monsters!

That wouldn't surprise me. Bale is a method actor, he takes real life experiences to bolster his on screen performances.

THATS HIS JOB. So are you saying he should stop working because everyone else is getting fired? ????
 
Yeah. Stupid Bale, wanting to do his job, stupid Bale for being a human, and getting fed up with someone's incompatence.
 
THATS HIS JOB. So are you saying he should stop working because everyone else is getting fired? ????

Just because it's his job does it mean everything he does is acceptable.

Let me see, who else were just doing their job?

Hmm...maybe the Nazis?

And where did I mention that he should stop working?

I was talking about his behavior

Heck, he needed to shut up and get back to work if anything and realize that humans make mistakes.

Look at the space shuttle accidents, did you see the family members acting in that manner?
 
Where the ^^^^ did all these tumors and Nazis come from? Isnt this thread about Bale ^^^^^ing out a guy?
 
What? Did you compare Bale to a Nazi??

So are you saying....that everyone doing their jobs, must stop and go "Oh....I should stop working because some kid is dying, and the economy sucks..." NO! They still have a job so they should still keep working.
 
I still think it went on way too long, but remember this guy is acting in a movie directed by McG. He's GOT to be frustrated. And Ledger's getting all the press ad accolades off TDK. It sucks to be him.

And the thing with his mother turned out to be completely blown out of proportion.
