Christian Bale's Part in Steven Spielberg's Early 2000s War Film

Christian Bale starred in a obscure war film directed by Steven Spielberg in the early 2000s. The same movie also gave Ben Stiller his first major screen exposure and later became the basis for the comedy Tropic Thunder.

In a People.com interview, Bale said he is proud his daughter Luka, 21, could guide him one day. E! News reports he gave rare insight into Luka’s work as a model and as an up-and-coming director. Bale noted that Luka has studied behind-the-scenes roles and hopes to guide him in a future film.
