When Brandon Lee died during the making of the Crow, didn't they do a digital replica of him to finish the movie. Wouldn't it be something that if in the third movie they did a digital of Heath Ledger for his parts in the movie? I seriously doubt that would happen though.

BL was replaced by a look alike & CGI sucked back then.

If his performance is brilliant in TDK, I hope he gets nominated for an Oscar. Has there ever been someone nominated for an award after they had pass away?

Yep. I think in the ongoing topic about Heath a few people mentioned the actors who have received awards after their death.

Shocking news by Heath's death. But I wonder if he's also written into the third installment of the movie. If he was, Nolan has to change a lot of the Dark Knight's script.

Nolan always says he doesn't think in sequals, so there is probably no scripit for a sequal. But I would see no reason to cast another actor in the role and continue the character Heath helped recreate.

Well there was an article I posted earlier in this thread that might help you answer that question that the third film will center around Harvey Dent aka Two Face

I can't help but wonder if him playing the Joker had anything to do with it. They found sleeping pills next to him, and he had said he was losing sleep after playing such a horrific character. He said it was draining physically & emotionally. I think Nolan will cut out scenes to make the Joker less "horrific" in honor of Heath.

Its a shame Heath Ledger wont be around to see the reaction to his role as the Joker. From what I read and seen in quotes from people involved in the film he is going to blow us away and basically steal the movie. I was really looking forward to this movie catapulting his career. I really liked him in the Patriot. My guess is this movie will create a big "what could have been" feeling among people after seeing what he does as the Joker and even 20 years from now people will still be talking about it just like they still talk about Jack as the Joker (in different ways of course).

I'd never really heard of Heath Ledger before this but it looked like he was going to be superb in TDK. I'm gutted to hear about this terrible news really.. always said when a promising and really up and coming actor is taken in their prime :(

99% of the filming was done w/ the Crow... believe the only shot they needed was when we was walking into his aprt after he came back, they did digitally take him out of an earlier scene where he was walking thru an alley while it was raining. That was an awesome movie by the way.

That would suck, honestly. I don't think Nolan should water-down Heath's performance. If the performance is as good as people from the set have been hyping, then cutting scenes out would only disrespect Heath's accomplishment as an actor.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
