Odd things come to light after the sudden death of Heath Ledger. He was starring in the new Batman film “The Dark Knight”. As Jack Nicholson implies he had warn Ledger for the difficulties of the Joker role.

Ledger had stated that he is exhausted and sleepless while the shooting took place. He reached the point where he was taking pills to sleep, the overdose of which probably cost him his life. “I told him” Nicholson said when he was asked about Ledger’s death.

Beyond this, there is a problem with the movie promotion. The first movie poster that was ready to circulate, showed Joker (Ledger) smiling in front of a mirror and underneath a phrase “Why So Serious?”, and this is something that they fear that might be misinterpreted.

I am not sure if his death will bring more people to the cinemas. I am under the impression that (in connection with the writer’s strike) if what Nicholson is saying is true then Hollywood might have started to loose its glamour.
