Tragic actor's parents and siblings to fly to New York for Batman sequel
Tuesday, 17 June 2008
Heath Ledger’s family has announced they will be flying in from Australia to attend the premiere of his last complete film The Dark Knight.
The Batman sequel – which also stars Christian Bale and Michael Caine – will be screened in New York on 14 July, just days before the 6-month anniversary of his death.
Heath takes the iconic role of The Joker in what is said to be his most enigmatic performance ever.
‘What happened with Heath is so sad. It’s tragic, it’s hard to believe,’ co-star Aaron Eckhart, 40, tells People.
‘I enjoyed my time with him immensely. Heath was loved by everyone on set. [He] was electric. He bought such energy to his part. It was amazing to watch.’
Heath died on 22 January aged 28 from a prescription drugs overdose at his Manhattan apartment. He was in the middle of shooting The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus.
