 While Ledger has dipped his toe into the mainstream, most prominently as Mel Gibson’s son in The Patriot, he seems to be comfortable returning back to his indie roots. ‘I think you’re generally granted more freedom and I prefer to see the outcomes of films that have lower budgets because you’re forced into using your imagination’. But all this is going to change when he takes on the role of the Joker in The Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. ‘I guess if I was a fan of a comic book character it would probably be the Joker’ says Ledger. ‘I was motivated by the offer, the opportunity to play this guy. Somewhere inside, I just kind of knew instinctively what to do with it’. It’s early days with the role since it’s not slated for a release till summer 2008 and Ledger emphasized the hush-hush nature of such a production. ‘They’re still writing the script. They’re so safeguarded even with me, like I don’t have a script. I’ve read it once at Chris Nolan’s house but he wouldn’t let me leave with it’ he laughs. While his contemporaries flounder, Ledger’s brave choices mean his career is going from strength to strength. From brooding teen to gay cowboy to heroin addict to super-villain, Ledger did the hardest thing a teen star could do - he grew up. |
