Today actor Heath Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment. Blah blah blah.
All my asshole friends wanted to know the same thing: Did they finish filming Batman? The answer is yes, although industry types are all concerned with whether or not to keep up the macabre advertising campaign using grisly images of Ledger as the Joker. Apparently several weeks ago, Ledger mentioned in an interview aside that playing the Joker distressed him quite a bit and he found himself taking prescription sleeping pills in order to help deal. Now, based on the footage we've seen so far, the Joker as portrayed by Ledger is indeed a fucked up kitten. And everything we've read about Ledger is that he acts real hard, gets real into those roles of his. Damn, this is intense, because now we're all gonna be seeing the movie and reading extra close into every line he gives. Was this the part that drove him mad? Mad enough to kill? Himself?
I'm wondering if they'll change anything in the movie...
