A Hearty HI !! From Heath To All !! REALLY!
« on: August 04, 2007, 02:32:40 am »
Tonight I find myself working an all nighter on the next Batman film. Heath is one of the major players. (sorry I can't elaborate any more) I signed a disclosure agreement. Its been about 3 years since I worked with him on BBM so it was nice to get to chat with him again on set and talk about the "good old days" on BBM.  I told him about this site and he is very pleased that BBM still continues to live on here.  He sends his love and thanks.

I told him all about the forum and the gatherings. He seemed very touched by it. He is a very nice guy.

Goodness, I am absolutely thrilled to hear this! It's lovely to have a formal affirmation that Heath is, in fact, as nice in real life as we all hoped he would be. I think I'm gunna cry! (forgive me, it's an old man thing!)  :'(

Please give him OUR love back and our hopes for an excellent experience on the new Batman movie. It'll be great to watch knowing we had TWO friends involved in the movie, Heath and you!

It really worked out well. I am not a "regular" on Batman. The person I'm covering for two days got sick and I was called to fill in. It was lucky that yesterday just happened to also be a day Heath had to work. I start this Tuesday on "Wanted" a thriller with Angelina Jolie thats coming to Chicago from Europe for its last 3 weeks of filming.

Hi Rossin Illinois!
   My, that does sound exciting! Do give Heath our love, thanks for BBM and best wishes for the future.
   I'm fairly new to this board, so you might have written previously about your work on BBM but, if not, can you tell us something now?
    I've just finished reading an article by John Calhoun on Roderigo' Prieto's work on BBM in American Cinematographer Magazine (Jan. 2006). It was made available by another Brokie on the IMDb board. Some of the technical details went over my head but it nevertheless  left me with a deeper appreciation of the care and thought which went into the making of the movie.
    All best for the new movie.

Here is the picture. (No Heath.) I had to resize it, so you can't read the flag, but it says, "GOTHAM".

Having been the lucky recipient of a few electronic words from Heath, I can back Ross up in saying that Heath really is a lovely man and he's very aware of the huge impact BBM continues to have on people and he's proud to have played a small part in advancing the struggle.

Hi Marion, how did that come about?  That's fascinating!  :)

That is SO AWESOME! It's wonderful to know that, especially as he has moved on to other projects.

OT: I wonder if he'd ever agree to play Ennis again should there be a BBM-II...but that's a whole 'nother can of worms!  :D
