Current Event #2 - Terminator Salvation

Last week I wrote about Hugh Jackman and his movie, Wolverine. Well, Christian Bale is just as hot, so I figured I would write about his new action flick as well. The article begins with when Bale first received the script for the new movie. He initially said “no.” However, director McG wouldn’t take no for an answer. He flew to London, even though he is scared of flying, to convince Bale to take the job. Bale still said no, so McG fell back on his last option, he begged Bale to take a chance on him. So, even though he was advised against it, Bale said he would do the movie.
Now, after production, Bale has to deal with the press. Unfortunately not all the questions will focus on the movie. Instead there will be questions regarding the actor’s temper and an incident of forceful language. On set, Bale yelled at a crew member who crossed through his sightline during an intense scene of the movie. He later apologized for the profanity saying, “It was unacceptable. I went too far. And I learned from it.'' The question now is; what kind of effect will this blowup have on the star’s popularity? Personally, I think it will take a lot more than a four minute rant to damage Christian Bale’s reputation.
