Rama’s SCREEN

In a recent interview with MTV blog, Heath Ledger said that his character THE JOKER will have “zero sympathy” with the objective to “scare the crap out of the audiences next year”.

Asked about the inspiration for the performance and Ledger cited nothing less than classic Kubrick. “‘A Clockwork Orange’ was a very early starting point for Christian [Bale] and I. But we kind of flew far away from that pretty quickly and into another world altogether.”

This is awesome, this is exactly how THE JOKER should be.
Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of the smiling villain was hardcore but after having heard all that’s good about Heath Ledger’s performance in next year’s THE DARK KNIGHT, it begins to sound more and more believable that Heath and The Joker are one and the same person, it’s as if Heath was destined to play the role,… like everything he’s ever done all these years were just leading him up to his ultimate gig as THE JOKER.

Jack Nicholson reportedly isn’t happy about Heath assuming the role that Jack always thought only he himself did very well at.
Mr. Nicholson praised director Tim Burton for having “the right take on it”.
