Heath Ledger discusss Bob Dylan biopic
Rolling Stone magazine has posted a great interview with Heath Ledger about the Bob Dylan biopic, I’m Not There.
MTV: “I’m Not There” is quite a surreal film for the audience member to experience. How did it read on the page?Ledger: It was a fantastic read. Obviously it was dense, as you can imagine. You immediately understand that here’s this man, [director] Todd [Haynes], who’s clearly crazy [laughs], super intelligent and out to really create a respectful attempt to portray Dylan. He wasn’t trying to categorize him in any way. He wasn’t assuming to know everything about him. And that was really refreshing. Biopics kind of annoy me sometimes. It’s really hard not to defame someone when you’re doing a biopic. I got the sense that Todd was really trying to preserve Dylan’s mystique.
Naturally, they also discussed Heath playing The Joker in the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. We’ve got a clip from that right here.
