I was pondering the other day if Mr. Ledger ever got a chance to see any of the film in which he’s already received a Golden Globe for and looks like he might receive an Oscar nod as well. Well, according to IMDB.com, producer Charles Roven indeed screened the opening bank heist IMAX sequence for the actor in London right befor his death. His reaction?:
I showed Heath the first six minutes… the bank heist sequence, on an IMAX screen in London. I said, ‘You have to see this…’ He watched it, and it just blew his mind. He was so thrilled, he was just laughing. He said, ‘I want to see it again.’ We showed it to him again. That was the last time I saw him.”
Well, at least it’s comforting to know that we was able to catch a glimpse of the film (and in IMAX, no less) before his untimely death due to a drug overdose last year.
