It’s Going To Blow People Away
The tone on the set was dark and gloomy, but the sudden death of Heath Ledger added an additional and unwanted morbidity to the aura surrounding British director Christopher Nolan’s Batman sequel, The Dark Knight.
Back From The Grave!
“What Heath brought to The Joker is difficult to describe,” says Nolan. “There’s an extraordinary intensity to it and he’s absolutely terrifying.”
“We wanted him to represent pure, unadulterated evil,” he says, “and I needed a phenomenal actor, but he also had to be someone unafraid of taking on such an iconic role. Heath created something entirely original. It’s stunning, captivating. It’s going to blow people away.”
“The Joker is terrifying because there appears no rhyme or reason for what he does; he’s just a force of nature,” says Nolan. “With Two-Face, you see his transformation and you understand where his anger and his grief come from.”
