Heath Ledger Says To Expect A Very Different Joker
Entertainmentwise ^ | today | James Luxford

Posted on 04/03/2007 11:27:24 AM PDT by Rodney King

Heath Ledger has discussed his new role as the Joker in the next Batman instalment, revealing he had a “different take” on the famous villain.

Speaking to US magazine Newsweek regarding about his recent casting as The Joker (played previously by Jack Nicholson) in the forthcoming Batman movie ‘The Dark Knight’.

Ledger told the magazine: “I've been bouncing around like a lunatic for four months. I definitely have a different take on him, but I've yet to do a proper makeup run. It's on the agenda”.

When asked if he’d been practising his laugh, Ledger simply replied “I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been”.

‘The Dark Knight’ is set for a summer 2008 release.

As a wee lad when the first one came out, I’m stoked to see this next installment with Christian Bale! He’s the best Batman they’ve had, IMHO.

No idea. I don't watch movies about butt-pirates either.

This is Hollywood 2007 - making remakes of remakes of remade remakes.

Better watch it. The UK police will be knocking on your front door. Then later in jail, Bubba will be knocking at your "back door"...

The same people who said his career is over are now running for cover. I knew that he would have another movie. I know people here thought he would never shoot a movie ever again. They underestimate Hollywood that is for sure.
