He always holds the camera, and his film is his life and his work.
He wanted to be a director, and he was talented.
He died young, he left behind a classic, left regrets.
Classicly, the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight was deified by fans and admired by future generations;
Unfortunately, a film project called "Rear Wing Deserter" is stillborn.
Years later, "Rear Wing Abandoned Soldier" was reborn and became a blockbuster word-of-mouth drama.
Someone thought of him again.
An early interview with British screenwriter Alan Scott was dug up, revealing that Heath Ledger had wanted to make Rear Wing Outcasts a movie before his death.
Assuming that the talented Heath Ledger did not die young, this project that became a regret is most likely to be completed.
As we all know, 2008's Batman: The Dark Knight was a huge success.
Heath Ledger's role as the Joker has been well received, and his popularity and curry position have increased again.
At this time, the dream of becoming a director is really appropriate.
The attention he has will help his projects get investment more smoothly.
Even without Batman: The Dark Knight, with works such as Brokeback Mountain and I'm Not There, it only takes a good script, and Heath Ledger's dream of directing may not be impossible.
Before his death, Batman: The Dark Knight had not yet been released, and he had already come into contact with Alan Scott.
As a chess enthusiast, he must be full of interest in telling the story of the queen of chess, and he is quite sure.
Back in the early 1990s, Alan Scott took a fancy to Walter Tevez's novel The Rear Wing Outcast, took the rights, and adapted it into a screenplay.
The two directors then expressed interest in the script.
One is Michael Apt, who directed 007: Black Sun Crisis;
Another Bernaldo Bertolucci, whose representative work is "The Last Emperor", which is familiar to Chinese film fans.
I don't know whether it is because of the schedule or the creative disagreement, the two famous directors have not been able to do it.
Next up came Heath Ledger.
By then, he should have just finished filming Batman: The Dark Knight and was looking for a script to bring his directorial dream to life.
Alan Scott and Heath Ledger had a great conversation and gradually discussed the prototype of the film.
According to Heath Ledger, Alan Scott kept improving the script;
Heath Ledger himself moved quickly, contacting his chosen actress, Alan Peggy.
At the time, Alan Page hadn't starred in Inception, but a 2007 film, Juno, made the new star who played the phantom cat in "X-Men" popular all over the United States.
"We all sent the script to Allen, and Heath was full of ideas about the other casts in the film, mainly to find his actor friends, and we were scheduled to make this film at the end of 2008." Alan Scott said.
As we all know, in early 2008, Heath Ledger's life came to an end.
He regretted not being able to complete his directorial debut.
As for the cause of his death, there are many opinions.
Many people think that he suffered from depression because "Batman: The Dark Knight" was too deep into the play and could not extricate himself, and he was bored in the hotel, and the medication error led to tragedy.
But both his sister and actor Gary Oldman denied the possibility, saying Heath Ledger was able to pull out roles while filming.
Why did Heath Ledger take multiple medications at the hotel himself?
The biggest possibility is from mental stress in the career, but now there seems to be another possibility.
One coincidence is that the heroine of "Rear Wing Deserter" is addicted to drugs, and at that point in time Heath Ledger is preparing for this directorial debut.
When playing the clown, his efforts behind the scenes are obvious to all, and his dedication to art is beyond imagination.
What he wants to do most is to direct, and he must pay more for his debut.
Is it possible that he found so many drugs to experience, because he wanted to feel the experience of the heroine of "Rear Wing Deserter", in order to better devote himself to the story.
Admittedly, this is just a prevarication.
Everything is irretrievable, but some regrets will always be remembered.
After many years of shelving for heath Ledger's death, Scott Frank, who had also read the novel of the same name in his early years, approached Alan Scott and suggested to partner Netflix to start filming.
The cheerful Netflix producer agreed, but the original movie was changed to the form of a limited drama.
Alan Scott worked with Scott Frank to complete the script for the series, and the drama "Rear Wing Outcast" was born.
