Big News About Movies

I’m getting the feeling that this next Batman movie is gonna seriously kick some ass.
And looks like Heath Ledger is stepping it up a notch with his Joker rendition.

Michael Caine says

“I tell you the big surprise in the new ‘Batman’ — Heath Ledger as the Joker,” Caine told reporters in New York Tuesday. “He’s fantastic. He’s gone in a different direction than Jack (Nicholson) … Jack was like a really scary old, nasty old uncle with a funny face. Heath is like the most murderous psychopath you’ve ever seen on the screen,” Caine said.

“I was waiting for Batman’s guests, but (the Joker) had taken over the elevator with — he has seven dwarfs and… oh! wait until you see them. So, I’d never seen any of it and the elevator door opened and they came out and I forgot every bloody line. They frightened the bloody life out of me …. It’s amazing and it’s so different from Jack.”

I’m hoping that Heath has read Frank Millers Dark Knight. And he’s going to play the Joker like he should be played. Like a completely insane homocidal freakshow. I can’t wait to see how well he does. Maybe a sick pipe beating to someones head to set the tone for him or something. I don’t know but I’m looking forward to seeing this.
Michael Caine has set the tone for this movie already.
