Wow...how can Vanity Fair pack more fucking bullshit all into just one article. OK... Ledger took a role he didn't want (because it had merchandising... something his Agent said he didn't want a part of), but liked the long shoot time to turn down other roles... and he wanted to act badly so as not to get paid although he was guaranteed a paycheck?! Well... fuck me gently! My brain has just been raped!

it might explain why he was so good, the man did not give a damn at first. And people are usually at there best when they dont give a fuck. they usually dont listen to others and just do what they want. Yeah it may be selfish but the end result is what matters.

I don't know about this article, the whole money thing throws it off. Fuck, he was in smaller movies like Candy andi think he just preferred those smaller roles. Every actor takes a pay day job once in awhile but to say he tried to sabotage the movie is stupid. He did with the character what he wanted to, artists like that should be comended. Heath prefered being an actor, not a movie star. Bale on the other hand prefers being a movie star and that is why there was such a lopsided difference in TDK. Bale phoned it in, shitty Bat voice and all.

... yeah because you always see Bale out and about waving to cameras like Heidi and Spencer milking off his fame right? Or is it because Christian Bale does SOOO many romantic comedies and doesn't do serious roles? (inserting sarcasm so your idiotic mind doesn't get confused) They're both great actors and did a great job on the film. Go jack off to in the closet while wearing your joker paint good for nothing cunt.

@Natasha and what lately has Bale done that is so damn great. I mean the machinist was really awesome. but besides that he has done nothing except big budget films and im also talking about the prestige.That movie was alright but honestly Bowie was the best in the fucking film. So yeah perhaps Bale has recently gotten a head the size of texas. No need being a cunt rag with fluids gone wrong all the time.

Hahaha, wow I didn't know I was going to piss anyone off with that post. Bale is good when he does small movies, which he has pretty much abandonded for the big pay checks and when he does those big paycheck roles he phones it in. 3:10 to Yuma and Harsh Times were the last two movies I admired his portrayal of a character and enjoyed the film. Batman dropping a deuce voice really doesn't make me admire his portrayal of the character. I won't insult you back, oh fuck it. A bisexual chick posting on a movie website overrun with testosterone? I bet you are a huge bull dike who only bends over to take cock because a classy lesbo would never go for you. Ever seen the one "shim" in Big Love? That is what I am guessing you look like. Go fuck yourself with a pine cone.

Remember that post of mine a while back about a girl I dated for 10 days, broke up with her, she showed up to my work with a dozen long stem roses and a marriage proposal (which I still have... we call that evidence!), I still didn't see her, then 2 weeks later I'm served with papers... she tried suing me for $300K (she was going bankrupt... I forgot to mention that)? She either wanted $'s from me, or to run up a legal bill... well... COSMO ON HER SHITTER LID!!!

idk how much i believe this. while i believe he might have been hesitant to get involved in a huge scale blockbuster, as a lot of hardcore actors are, i doubt he purposely tried to go out there JUST to get fired. that seems a little ridiculous. i think he'd done enough films to not be defined by the joker. actually, i think that since he died and wasn't able to stretch any further, it DID end up defining him. it was his last glorious moment that was finished that everyone saw, and it will be the impression of his that i think lasts the longest.

EXCUSE ME! Not only does the article sound very far fetched, but inaccurate as well. The pay-or-play deal it referres to is actually a contract which means that they attach "the talent" to a project, and after he or she commits to it, he or she will get paid even if the project itself doesn't materialize in the end. Example: Tim Burton in the case of his ill-fated Superman project. He was officially attached to it until the studio decided to go a different way and he got paid anyway.
