Last summer, a report surfaced that days before he was arrested on allegations of assault in London while promoting “The Dark Knight,” Christian Bale had lashed out verbally against a crew member on the set of “Terminator: Salvation.”
And today, a new tape from the reported July 2008 incident has emerged, allegedly featuring the actor screaming, shouting and using profanity at “Terminator: Salvation” director of photography, Shane Hurlbut.
In the tape, posted on TMZ, a man said to be Bale was recorded as he ranted at Hurlbut,after the DP walked on to the set as the actor was filming a scene with co-star Bryce Dallas Howard.

“I want you off the f***ing set, you pr***,” Bale reportedly says at the start of the audio recording, which TMZ reported was sent by the film’s executives to their insurance company in case the actor didn’t finish filming the movie.
“I’m sorry,” Hurlbut reportedly replies.
“No, don’t just be sorry. Think for one f***king second,” Bale reportedly shouts. “What the f*** are you doing? Are you a professional or not?”
The man said to be Bale appears to grow angrier as Hurlbut replies to him in a calm tone, “Yes, I am.”
“No, no. Am I gonna f***ing rip your lights down in the middle of the scene? Then why the f***are you walking right through, ‘Duh-duh-duh-duh-duh,’ in the background,” the man said to be Bale, sing-songs. “What the f*** is it with you? What the f*** don’t you understand?”
As the audio continues on, a host of unknown parties chime in to cool the man down.
“Take a minute,” an unknown male on the set says.
“You got any f***ing idea about… Hey, it’s f***ing distracting having somebody walking up behind Bryce [Dallas Howard] in the middle of the f***ing scene,” Bale reportedly continues. “Give me a f***ing answer. What don’t you get about it?”
As Bale reportedly appears to grow angrier, he turns his attention to “Terminator: Salvation” director McG, who is known by his cast and crew as simply G.
“Look G,” Bale reportedly says, “You got f***ing something to say to this pr***?”
“I didn’t see it happen,” a voice believed to be that of McG responds coolly.
“Well, somebody should be f***ing watching him and keeping an eye on him,” Bale reportedly states.
Bale reportedly goes on to claim that the interruption is the second of its kind and is tough on him as an actor.
“I’m trying to do a f***ing scene here and I’m going, why the f*** is Shane walking in there. What’s he doing there? Do you understand my mind is not in the scene if you’re doing that,” Bale reportedly says.
“I absolutely apologize. I did not mean anything by it,” Hurlbut reportedly states.
Bale reportedly then warns Hurlbut to stay out of sight, before ordering the scene to begin again. An unknown party, however, suggests they instead, “take a minute.”
Later, when the man said to be Hurlbut attempts to explain why he wandered into Bale’s area of view on set, the actor appears to grow even angrier.
“I’m gonna f***ing kick your f***ing ass,” Bale reportedly says as a host of unknown parties attempt to calm him down.
