Christopher Nolan planned to make Heath Ledger Batman
Christian Bale was not the first contender for the role of Batman in Christopher Nolan's trilogy. In the movie Batman Begins Heath Ledger had to try on the Dark Knight. The director himself spoke about this in an interview with HitFix. According to Nolan, Ledger turned down the role, because he did not want to be associated with movies about superheroes. However, he later changed his mind, making sure that Nolan was ready to move away from the usual canons of this genre. “He did not like to work hard. He preferred to play a role, and then enough time had to pass for him to regain his passion. Something similar happened. When it came to movieing The Dark Knight, he was already ready for him, ”Nolan explained. " Heath had several months to prepare. We approved him for the role of (Joker) unconditionally even before the final version of the script was ready, so he had enough time to become literally obsessed with this role, to think carefully about everything and decide what his character would be, '' the director added. Recall that for the role of the Joker, Heath Ledger was awarded a posthumous Academy Award. The Topic of Article: Christopher Nolan planned to make Heath Ledger Batman. |
