Why so serious?

Posted by Kevin on April 2nd, 2010

I wonder how The Dark Knight would have been different if Heath Ledger didn’t die. I understand talking about that isn’t the PC thing to do, but weren’t there still scenes to be shot? Did the movie actually change or did they just use wide shots with stunt doubles?

I’m sure the Joker inspired tattoos would have happened either way. With such a unique character and such vivid imagery, it was made to be tattooed on people.

    I was actually under the impression that they already did all the filming by the time Heath passed. They were actually in their final production as far as the editing and stuff goes, but the filming itself was all done.

    His death definitely added another layer of importance to seeing the film though.
