Early in the morning, New York has begun a busy day, and in a four-story apartment on Bloom Street in Manhattan, young Heath? Ledger woke up from his sleep and as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt that something was not quite right. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was a lingering sound of mosquitoes flapping their wings in his head, "buzzing...... Buzzing and buzzing......" kept ringing, the sound changed from small to loud, and gradually escalated into a huge roar, he felt that something was squeezing outward from his veins and almost bursting his body, and the sounds around him were covered with sound insulation and blurred and deformed like electronic devices, and the patterns in his eyes kept shaking and distorting.

Skin starts to chill, Heath? Ledger could feel it twitching involuntarily, and the kitten scratched the raised goosebumps with the sharp tips of its claws, and the itching pain gradually drilled into the bones along the pores, and he wanted to touch his hands but couldn't touch them, and it didn't work to scratch them, so he could only shake his body and try to rub the bones by shaking the flesh to try to stop the itching.

It's nothing short of an inhuman ordeal, and if it continues, it will definitely break him.

Since this state has been in place for several years, Hiss? Ledger naturally knew what the problem was, he propped up his body, felt a medicine bottle from the bedside table, hesitated for less than half a second, unscrewed the cap, poured out a few pills and stuffed them into his mouth, and swallowed them without even drinking water.

There seemed to be psychological hints, all kinds of weird sensations in the body and mind, suddenly all disappeared, the whole person became energetic, and the young and handsome talented actor returned to him.

Gradually, Hiss? Ledger returned to his normal state, he shook his head vigorously, and his eyes fell on another object on the bedside table, which was a character script, the famous director Duke? Rosenberg's agent specially sent the script of the villain in Batman Part 2.

Although he heard the other party mention that the script has not been finalized in the end, the character will not change much, and the character script has been in his hands for a while, Heath? Ledger has read and researched it a few times, and it's a character full of magic, a character that allows him to really play!

In 1989. Jack? Nicholson has performed the role once and has received numerous accolades.

Under normal circumstances, with Zhuan Mei in front, most people will not touch such a role again.

Heath? Ledger wanted to refuse, too. But after reading the character script, I found that the setting of the character has changed drastically, and although the two characters are called clowns, they are by no means the same.

And the setting of the clown in the script of this character...... How to put it, it seems that it is impossible to describe it with madness and amazement.

I heard that the setting of this character is from Duke? Rosenberg's hand. Perhaps only such a special director can adapt such a special role.

Thinking of this, Heath? Ledger took the script and flipped through it again.

In this character script, the clown shows a kind of madness, madness without a bottom line and rules, crazy to the pinnacle of evil.

And what about the peak of evil? In the peak of evil, evil is not a means, but an end. The ultimate evil is pure, not for money, not for sex, not for any other purpose. Creating evil and casting evil is the only pursuit in itself.

The evil of the clown is such pure evil, if nothing else, he just wants to create a "more tasteful evil" for the city, in His? In Ledger's opinion, even the crimes of the anonymous in "The Seven Deadly Sins" are not considered "tasteful evil" compared to the Joker, because there are too many add-ons to evil there.

Just as Batman is a knight who abides by justice and morality, the Joker is actually an evil Puritans. In his eyes, a crime for money, power, sex, or any other purpose is actually a blasphemy against "evil". Evil is pure only in His hands.

In the hands of the Joker, evil and chaos become a work of art, and he wields evil like a painter paints and a musician composes music. So from beginning to end, no matter what the circumstances. He maintains a sense of arrogance and self-satisfaction as a demon.

Why does the Joker's behavior in the script seem crazy and chaotic, but Heath? It is not difficult for Ledger to analyze that this character has a fanatical pursuit - to break everyone's bottom line.

This is a crazy character!

Close the script, Heath? Ledger sat quietly at the head of the bed and thought for a moment. For the past ten days, he has been thinking about whether to answer or not.

Frankly, he didn't like superhero movies, so he hesitated until now because it was Batman's sake, but Duke? The name Rosenberg and the character script sent to him attracted him immensely.

In Hollywood, how many actors don't want to talk to Duke? Rosenberg cooperation? That often means an all-round harvest of career, fame, and money.

Heath? Ledger was no exception and therefore did not directly turn down the role.

Thinking about it now, he made a decision.

Pick up your phone, Heath? Ledger dialed a number, "Marat, I want that character." ”

His agent Marat? Buxborough immediately said, "I'm going to talk to Charles?" Rowan contacts and asks the crew to schedule your audition as soon as possible. ”

There was some excitement in the voice on the phone, no agent didn't want to be an agent for a superstar.

The news quickly reached Duke, and although the project did not begin until July, it had already passed the review of the Warner Bros. Review Committee, and there would be no obstacles to the establishment of The Dark Knight.

Duke told Charles? A few words from Rowan, as long as the preparations officially begin, will he be the first to arrange Hiss? Ledger's clown audition to give him more time to figure out the role.

But as always, Hiss? Ledger is just the Joker's first choice, not the only one, after all, no one knows, the current Heath? Ledger is not up to the demands of the role.

Moreover, Harvey, the two-faced man? Dent, Duke also got people in touch with Nicholas? Cage's agent, presumably got Sophia beforehand? Coppola's notice, without seeing any character scripts and other related content, Nicholas? Cage accepted the invitation to audition without hesitation.

Similarly, even if you look at Sofia? Coppola's sake, reach out to pull Nicholas? Cage, but he won't be the only option, and Duke won't use it if he's in the worst form of performance and doesn't meet the requirements.

In this regard, there is no shortage of actors, and some news about the second part of Batman will inevitably circulate, such as Hugh? Jackman, Lane? Philip, Levi? Schreiber and Josh? Lucas sent the message through his agent, saying that he was very interested in Inspector Harvey? Dent was intrigued by the character.

As the project is about to be established, Warner Bros. has also started some targeted publicity to let fans know that the second part of Batman is about to start filming.

In mid-June, someone revealed on Instant Sharing and multiple film and television websites that "Penguin" Oswald? Chesterfield? Cobot will appear in the new Batman and launch an influential poll of the best cosplayers, Bob? Hopkins received a landslide in the vote.

Presumably Warner Bros. had PR beforehand, Bob? Hopkins said in an interview that he was very happy to play the role and was looking forward to working with Duke, calling him a "dream director."

This news has been fermenting on the Internet for a long time, and even sparked discussions among Batman fans and comic book fans.

It wasn't until the news reached a certain level of popularity that Duke stated through his instant sharing account that he did not have the idea of enabling "Mr. Penguin".

Although this disappointed some Penguin fans, it had enough publicity effect.

"Penguin people are not very appropriate to appear in the movie, it is a bit far-fetched."

In the office, Duke and Anna? Prinz, Hannah? Serena and John? Schwarzman and others are discussing some things about Batman, especially the characters that Duke focuses on, "It's enough for this film to have a Joker. ”

The setting of this character ...... "Anna? Is Prinz holding a Hannah? Serena's concept art of the Joker, "is seriously out of the comics. ”

Strictly speaking, "John? "After reading the script, I thought that the whole movie didn't have a comic book style, and if it wasn't for the Batman coat, it wouldn't even have much to do with superhero movies. ”

"So, John, you have to pay attention to the style of photography." Duke thought for a moment and said, "The cinematography should be darker and more realistic, and it looks more like a cop movie." ”

Saying that, he reached out to Anna? Holding the concept image of the Joker, Prinz told his art director, "Try to make the Joker's costume and makeup look shabby and scruffy so that he doesn't look like a homeless person from the comics, and the overall look should highlight the sharp and neurotic side of the character." ”

"I understand." Hannah? Serena pointed to the concept art and said, "This is just the first draft. I've thought about it, and on the basis of the comic book characters, I would borrow from Pete, the pop master of the counterculture? Doherty and Iggy, the "father of punk"? Pop's style. ”

Duke nodded, and added, "This is also a way to use the comical performance to disguise the character, and I hope to dig out the deeper realism of this character, for this character, dressing up as a 'clown' can be regarded as a gorgeous reproduction of the flame of life to some extent." ”

In the whole movie, the Joker is much better than Batman, and in a way, Bruce? Wayne is more of a super-big trick.

As the time entered July, a series of reviews by Warner Bros. were completed, and Duke's team was reassembled. Bale also started training again, and Batman already had all the conditions to set up the project.

Just after the Independence Day holiday, Warner Bros., DC Comics, and Duke held a press conference for the establishment of the "Dark Knight". (To be continued.) )
