Heath Ledger talks about playing the Joker in “The Dark Knight”

[zatoicchi]

I gotta say that it at first creeped me out to re-listen to the interview I did with Heath Ledger about a year before he died from a prescription drug overdose. The idea of repackaging his thoughts on “The Dark Knight” initially struck me as a bit exploitive considering the hype around his acclaimed performance in the Batman flick that opens Friday.

I interviewed Ledger in December 2006 when he was promoting the independent Australian film “Candy,” which features one of the many memorable performances by the actor. Ledger had just been cast as the Joker, and I couldn’t help but wonder what the guy would bring to character who had been portrayed by everyone from Cesar Romero to Jack Nicholson. We didn’t discuss the role for very long, but I think what’s repackaged in this brief podcast at least provides a glimpse into the performer’s uneasiness with the expectations that come with starring in a blockbuster.

the reason for the late release is because the many illegal activities their in egypt. maybe when it get release there we can hope for a better cam realease

[Aurion]

no man there is no any illegal activities here in Egypt regarding camming new movies,I think Egypt is the safest place for not getting any cammed movies like what happens in many other countries (here people just LOVE to watch movies @ theaters with super qualities)

well,actually its obvious that Egypt joined the big list of having millions of tickets sold for movies on their first week of release,I guess thats why they have decided to prerelease it first in Egypt
