MORE evidence of The Curse on the movie, “Dark Knight”
First, it was the untimely demise of actor Heath Ledger. Then, Christian Bale arrested for…uh, nobody’s really sure what. And now…Morgan Freeman in a car accident.
But those aren’t even the half of all the untoward things that have happened to people associated with the movie:
- 3rd Asst. Best Boy Grip was once audited by the IRS!
- the very day of the film’s premiere, a standby Foley Artist (West Coast) got a hangnail!
- supporting actress Maggie Gyllenhaal stricken with an odd extra vowel in her last name!
- on 4 separate days, cast & crew members who had eaten from the craft services table became sick afterward!
- Gary Oldman was talked into appearing in the cheesy 1998 film-version of “Lost in Space“!
- during filming, Michael Caine fell victim to an unforeseen hangover!
- despite the film’s immense success, to this day - no one outside the Warner Bros. studio lot knows who the hell writer/director Christopher Nolan is!
- the CGI/Special Effects Supervisor who oversaw the helicopter-crash sequence hasn’t worked in Hollywood since (of course, he doesn’t deserve to! Did you see that awful sequence? It ruins the film!)
- the composer has been unable to get the Theme from “The Flintstones” out of his mind since scoring the film!
- MAD Magazine unable to get any advance access to “Dark Knight” film, screenplay, or photos for the purpose of doing their satire of it — despite the fact that DC Comics owns both Batman and MAD; and their offices are in the same building! (Oop, waitaminute: that happens with EVERY film based on DC characters; file this under “Being run by DC Comics-CURSE” instead of “Dark Knight-CURSE”. Sorry for any inconvenience.)
