Newsflash

  • Heath Ledger and Sean Penn are in talks to star in a top-secret drama by writer-director Terrence Malick, the man behind Badlands and The Thin Red Line. Ledger would play a lead role opposite an actress, yet to be cast, with Penn taking a supporting role. Details of the plot have not been revealed - often the case with Malick's films - but an insider told the Hollywood Reporter it was a "complex drama". Filming is set to begin in March.
  • Tree Of Life’s journey has been long and arduous. Like a third grade game of Oregon Trail, the script’s voyage has been chock-full of deserting actors, money shortages, and lots and lots of dead oxen. A few years ago, Colin Farrell was in talks to play the principle protagonist, but after a month long shooting schedule in India was announced, the well-endowed actor cut bait. Rumors once again began recirculating yesterday, and Farrell is nowhere to be found.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Sean Penn and Heath Ledger are amidst negotiations to take up the supporting and staring roles respectively. The general plotline follows, well, no one really knows what the Terrence Malick script is about. I’m guessing it’s not a sequel to Fast Times At Ridgemont High or Lords Of Dogtown. Maybe someday. Production is set to begin in March; so, expect to be seeing this during the Summer of ‘09 or slightly sooner.

Mark Addy
Mark Addy | Mark starred with Heath in A Knight's Tale as Roland.
"Heath Ledger is frighteningly young and frighteningly intelligent. He's a very hard worker, very devoted [and] not a bit spoiled or pretentious."
Image
Paul Bettany
Paul Bettany | Paul starred with Heath in A Knight's Tale as Geoffrey Chaucer.
"He's walking around with a $40 million plus film on his shoulders like he's been doing it all his life. I just have to laugh at those posters, though. They make him look so butch."

Sossamon
Shannyn Sossamon | Shannyn, A Knight's Tale's Jocelyn, felt comfortable around Heath during her very first time in front of the camera.
"He's awesome! He's really, really charming, sexy, and just himself and natural, and he made it very easy for me to work with him."

Brian Helgeland
Brian Helgeland | Brian, A Knight's Tale director, agrees that Heath's just as centered as any experienced actor.
"He's good looking...but beyond that, I think he has a strong sense of himself....but it's especially amazing in someone so young, because usually male stars don't develop that kind of thing until their thirties."

Heather Graham
Heather Graham | Heather and Heath met in Prague in early 2000 and dated for a year.
"I just have to say that Heath is the greatest. He is an amazing person, incredible, and so Australians must be doing something right. He is just so relaxed and I feel like Australia must be like that..."

Gregor Jordan

Gregor Jordan | Director of 'Two Hands' & 'Ned Kelly'
“All the great actors have this ‘thing.’ It’s difficult to define. Even before Heath was famous, people would pay him a lot of attention. It’s something that’s totally separate from actual acting.”

When asked in an interview about his resemblance to Heath, Joseph replied...

Q: Do you realize you could pass as Heath Ledger's little brother?

A: I've heard that before. I take it as a great compliment. I love Heath. He taught me everything I know, like how to hold a cigarette properly. Whoa, that's not very politically correct, is it?

Roland Emmerich | Director of The Patriot, US Weekly magazine, July 24, 2000
"We tested a lot of people, and when Heath came along, he had the same manly quality Mel Gibson had as a young man. They're never really boys; they already have it."

Marion McGowan | Producer
I think Heath has a natural screen presence...he has a focus...that distinguishes him from a lot of young actors. There's a depth and intelligence that is operating that's not only there, but also focused into what he is doing...being clear in what the role is...about what he's trying to achieve with it....this brings a balance with the other cast who are considerably more experienced than him in most cases.... that's very important for the story to work. Without that...we would lose centre....he brings that focus." | Submitted by Jewlz
