from the Boston Herald, an interview with Michael Caine. He has this to say about Heath...
The two-time Oscar winner works at a murderous pace these days. He’s got a ’60s-set diamond-heist thriller with Demi Moore due in December called “Flawless,” he begins filming a ghost drama, “Is There Anybody There?” and just finished reprising Alfred the butler in next summer’s “Batman” movie.
“I’ll tell you, the big surprise in the new ‘Batman’ is Heath Ledger as the Joker. You heard it here first,” he said. “Fantastic. He’s gone a different direction than Jack Nicholson. Inasmuch as Jack was like a really scary, nasty old uncle with a funny face, Heath is like the most murderous psychopath that you’ve ever seen on the screen.”
Caine recalled his first rehearsal with Ledger. “I hadn’t met him and it was in this building in Chicago and he had to come downstairs and up into the room where I was waiting for Batman’s guests. But he’d taken over the elevator with - he has seven dwarfs.”
And he’s definitely not Snow White.
“Yeah,” Caine continued, “and oh, just wait until you see them. I’d never seen any of it and the elevator door opened and they came out and I forgot every bloody line. He frightened the bloody lines out of me! It was incredible.”
