Heath Ledger Pictures: Heath Ledger's Death Scene To Remain Intact in 'Dark Knight'

Heath Ledger’s Role In The Dark Knight Will Stay Intact

I was upset to find out they were going to alter Heath Ledger’s performance in The Dark Knight. SPOILERS AHEAD!!

Early screenings of The Dark Knight left some film fans reeling after they saw footage of Ledger, as The Joker, hiding out in a bodybag. That prompted internet speculation about whether studio heads would cut the scene to avoid upsetting sensitive Ledger fans. But a source close to the production tells website MovieHole.net, “The film remains intact - and nothing of Ledger’s will be cut from the movie, including the bodybag scene.”

The source adds, “I know for a fact that that scene is in the film. I also know that WB has made no such mandate and that (director) Chris Nolan is honest when saying that he will not change what was intended with The Joker”

I think it’s good they are keeping it in…I can’t wait to see how awesome the movie is!!!

  • Heath Ledger put heart and soul in all his roles.
    This one was no exception. He commented that playing the joker was the best fun he had ever had with a character. He certainly forgot 'the
    joker' in his next film Dr Parnassus. He was so good it needed 3 A lister actors to finish it off!! His death was nothing more than a tragic
    accident, end of!!

  • I am really looking forward to this movie. Its going to be AWESOME! It does suck that he's dead but of course they're not going to change the movie. It would'nt be fair to Heath. From all that I've read he put an extraordinary amount of work into the character.

  • i have been so sad about his death, still. He was a great actor and always done research about his role so he could play it the best ever, and he never failed. Good or bad movie he always played a superb part. Of course I did not really know him, but I really do believe that if he was still with Michelle and Matilda it may not have happened. (just my observation of course)He always seemed so happy when he was with them. Don't get me wrong I am not blaming it on anyone. I just wish he had been more careful with his meds.

  • I believe Michelle had concerns, and probably found it hard living with him. That is so unfortunate. They seemed good for each other, for the time they were together. Since then, he always seemed happy around Matilda. Too sad...
