Christian Bale Fired From The Manka Bros. G-Rated Family Film "My Little Kitten"

After a blistering, incredibly offensive, tirade on the set of the upcoming Manka Bros. family film "My LIttle Kitten", lead actor Christian Bale has been fired from the film effective immediately. Russell Crowe is currently in talks to replace Mr. Bale, who left the studio without incident yesterday.

The audio tirade, nearly four minutes in length, is posted below for insurance reasons. Many cast and crew members on the set (including children, puppets and animal wranglers) were said to be fearful for their safety. Regardless of Mr. Bale's status as a huge international movie star, this is not the kind of behavior we tolerate at Manka Bros.

[WARNING: THE AUDIO CONTAINS GRAPHIC LANGUAGE AND UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATIONS]

 

We wish Mr. Bale all the best in his future endeavors.
