 In Grimm, Ledger and his co-star Damon had some very noticeable chemistry on screen, which is a result of their friendship off-screen. “I think the friendship, the bonding just kind of happened naturally; we didn’t sit down and have bonding sessions.” What goes on in a “bonding session” anyway? Whatever they did it worked because they were successfully able to transfer their natural off-screen camaraderie onto the big screen. In preparation for their roles, both Heath and Damon worked together to better define their characters and feed off each other’s suggestions on how to play them. “We had about four weeks before we started shooting…we collaborated on ideas for each other’s characters, working on accents, and horse riding.” This “joint-effort” helped to better round the characters, which definitely made them more fun to watch and made their relationship as brothers more believable. “We wanted to present different qualities as brothers but also have similarities, like the fact that we wouldn’t stand with brave faces in the face of danger, we would scream like little girls and run away.” Not everyone can be a fearless brawny superhero, but it’s those unlikely ones who make the ride to victory so much more interesting. When working on a film that has so much going on, the elaborate detail of the sets, the ability of the actors to become one with the vision of Terry Gilliam, there had to be some things that went on that were out of the ordinary and not shown in the film. “There was a horse that died, the horse that I kind of danced with at one point…natural causes.” As if dancing with a horse isn’t weird enough, that’s just the kind of fantasy world that Gilliam brought to life in The Brothers Grimm. In the near future we can expect to see Heath Ledger diversifying his roles further, gradually increasing his ability and enjoyment of the profession. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more of Heath in the years to come, especially since he has three films in the works set for 2005 releases. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. |
