From the Grave, Heath Ledger Talks About “The Dark Knight”

blogs.mercurynews.com — "I gotta say that it at first creeped me out to re-listen to the interview I did with Heath Ledger a year before he died. Ledger had just been cast as the Joker -- we didn’t discuss the role for very long, but it provides a glimpse into the performer’s uneasiness with the expectations that come with with starring in a blockbuster."

  • cambob76, on 07/14/2008, -6/+56From the past, not the grave. Dead men tell no tales, unless they're on that retarded CSI show...
  • Phipman, on 07/15/2008, -1/+50Sensationalist title much?
  • mlvassallo, on 07/15/2008, -1/+33Awful title.
  • unfilterthought, on 07/15/2008, -1/+21So he's like Tupac now?
  • CarStan, on 07/15/2008, -4/+20what? there's a new batman movie coming out? And Heath Ledger is playing the Joker? sounds promising.
  • simplicityiskey, on 07/15/2008, -1/+13"...character who had been portrayed by everyone from Cesar Romero to Jack Nicholson." -- Um, last time I checked, these were the only two people who have ever portrayed the Joker in a live-action film. You could count the people who have voiced him, but even that list isn't as long as the author makes it sound.
  • PrometheusZero, on 07/15/2008, -4/+14Ahh... Knight's Tale, what a fantastic movie.
  • ChristBehemoth, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6You have just been waiting and waiting for this day so bad, haven't you?
  • snurfle, on 07/15/2008, -1/+6From an interview that was recorded before he died. Not from the grave.
    And I was all excited, too, before finding out it wasn't really an interview from the grave :-(
  • inactive, on 07/15/2008, -1/+5Yeah, there was nobody BETWEEN Cesar Romero and Jack Nicholson. There's no "from" there!
  • keithnoir, on 07/15/2008, -1/+5I'm so happy this story is not about a spiritual medium trying to interview him from the beyond.
  • Ridikul, on 07/15/2008, -1/+4The Onion is not 4chan.
  • megamod, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3Sure he had great movies before but he was never provided with such a great character to fill.

    For example: A Knight's tale (no, not the black knight you're thinking of), Casanova (hopeless romanticist), Lords of Dogtown (skater bum), and I'm pretty sure there are other major roles I'm missing but none of these roles really gave him a chance to shine until now.
  • shutaro, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2It only counts as being from beyond the grave if he makes spooky ghost noises during the interview...
  • Misanthrope, on 07/15/2008, -1/+3AAAAAHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!
  • Chewie67, on 07/15/2008, -2/+4Has anyone else heard about the whole "Heath Ledger is not dead, it's a publicity stunt" thing?

    It sounds crazy, but the conspiracy theorists have come up with some substantial evidence. Probably crap, but it would be great to see this turn out to be one of the biggest hoaxes in history.
  • DouchHalco, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1Just listening to the interview, Ledger sounds so laid back and humble...its quite sad to think that we lost not only a great actor, but a decent human being as well
  • nytejade, on 07/15/2008, -2/+3"from the grave" - Damn, that's tacky.
  • Ridikul, on 07/16/2008, -0/+1...

  • Andrwmorph, on 07/15/2008, -1/+2Already have tickets for the midnight showing :P
  • SimonTB, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1Just like Tupac. I bet when more interviews show up with him talking about this movie, they'll say it must have just been done.
  • gettarat, on 11/25/2008, -0/+1Haunting voice, I must say.

  • datastorageguy, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1The joke is on you. Heath Ledger isn't dead.
