Emille Hirsch was not in the film, he was just there to see the movie. I’ll be on the lookout for more premiere photos tomorrow, I’m sure there’ll be a bunch more soon, there isn’t many online right now since the premiere just happened.
I’m sure Heath Ledger’s family was there, I’m trying to find pics of them.
“The Dark Knight” comes out this Friday! Can’t wait to see it this weekend!!!

There’s a theatre being built in Heath Ledger’s hometown of Perth, Australia, and the theatre is being named after him. The name of the theatre is called, “The Heath Ledger Theatre”. Heath Ledger is a big supporter of theatre plays as I’m sure that’s where he started in theatre before hollywood movies. Heath’s father, Kim Ledger, says this is what Heath would have wanted and would be proud to have a theatre attached to his name if he was still alive.
Kim Ledger and the rest of the family are making plans to travel over here to the USA to New York City to attend “The Dark Knight” premiere on July 14th. Christopher Nolan already invited the family to see the first eight minutes of the film.

Pretty cool thing they’re doing for Heath.
I can’t wait for the Dark Knight.

The Associated Press exclusively reports that “The Dark Knight” end credits will pay tribute to Heath Ledger and to the stuntman that was killed in a car wreck while filming. “The Dark Knight” arrives in theaters July 18th, so when you watch the movie make sure you stick through the credits to see, “In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe” across the screen, I’m sure the tribute will show when the credits are done rolling.

Kudos! I’m glad they’re doing this!
I’m so stoked for “The Dark Knight”, I know it will be an amazing movie and it probably will end up being the best film all year long.

Warner Bros. studios had confirmed that Heath Ledger’s family members are travelling from Australia to New York City to see “The Dark Knight” at the world premiere which opens July 18th.
It’s been said for a long time that Heath Ledger as the Joker is supposed to be the darkest and most intense movie performance of all times than any film ever.

The Oscars for 2009 better nominate Heath Ledger for Best Actor In a Leading Role for “The Dark Knight”. Even though I haven’t seen the movie yet, seeing the trailers, I get goosebumps seeing Heath as the Joker.
I can’t wait to see “The Dark Knight” and I’m itching to see the film NOW! Can July 18th be any longer?

Batman star Christian Bale has been quiet about Heath Ledger ever since his death way back in Jan. As the film “The Dark Knight” gets closer to it’s release date on July 18th, Mr. Bale or Mr. Wayne, speaks out about the late young actor.
Bale describes Heath Ledger as “intense” and “anarchistic” when performing scenes in the film, but when not filming Bale describes Heath’s personality as shy, quiet, and laid back. Bale says the film was something he wanted to share with Heath and says he hopes “The Dark Knight” will be a celebration of Heath’s work for everyone.

I can’t wait for “The Dark Knight”, I’ve been looking forward to this film ever since the last one “Batman: Begins”.
I have a feeling that “The Dark Knight” will definitely top Indy 4 in box office, not just because it’s Heath Ledger, only because it’s a Batman movie. The Batman movies are always successful.
The film will definitely be a celebration of Heath Ledger for sure.

The newly made and released Heath Ledger joker action figures are selling out quick. They are priced at $9.99 and people in NYC are having a hard time trying to find one. Toys ‘R Us in NYC says it will take a while to get more in.
More on it here:
Now, don’t tell me that people from all over the states and the world, traveled to NYC just get a Heath Ledger Joker action figure. Come on now. They are just plastic toys! Are they really worth something or will they worth a lot 20 years from now?
I love Heath Ledger as the Joker myself but a toy is a toy!
I can’t wait to see “The Dark Knight”. Honestly, out of all of my most anticipated movies I want to see, I’m dying to see “The Dark Knight” over everything else. “The Dark Knight” will indeed be the best Batman movie ever made. “The Dark Knight” is my no. 1 most anticipated film.

Today is Heath Ledger’s birthday, he would have been 29 now if he was still here with us. He never got the chance to hit the big 30. 😦
RIP Heath and I shall see you on the big screen for “The Dark Knight” this summer!
