Christian Bale feels betrayed by the film crew who leaked his angry rant online.

The 'Dark Knight' star is happy to accept the backlash following his four-minute, foul-mouthed tirade against a 'Terminator Salvation' crew member who distracted him during a scene.
Bale acknowledges his attack was "overboard" but insists it shouldn't have been made public.
He said: "I did it, it's in the public space. I take the consequences for it. I'm not hiding from that. I went overboard.
"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 recording, we are not even listening.' So, well, there goes that.
"I do stress though, it's not in anyway a trust that's there to cover up bad behaviour. It's not about that. I'm not whining, but it's an essential trust that's needed for creativity."
The 35-year-old actor also blasted the trend to include unseen footage and behind-the-scenes material on DVD releases, insisting it is spoiling the film industry.
He added to Total Film magazine: "I just don't think it's in anyone's interest to know that much either. I'm actually someone that's very anti the whole B-Rolls, DVD extras and stuff like that.
"I understand people are interested, I get that they want to hear about it, but to me I look at it as old school movie magic and with magic you do not reveal your secrets."
