The Dark Knight `Dark Knight' credits pay tribute to Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe

[Peege]

Title sums the article up... Knew there would be something. Nice to see an emphasis placed on it.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080626...ger_tribute;_ylt=At4yE4zRQkc9FX3CQV623MoDW7oF

i disagree, ur title is missing something

The end credits of the "Batman Begins" sequel include a farewell note to Ledger, who died in January from an accidental overdose of prescription drugs; and to special-effects technician Conway Wickliffe, who was killed last September in a stunt-car accident.

"In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe," reads the tribute included in the credits, which went up Thursday on the Warner Bros. publicity Web site.

the crew member is also mentioned!!

they did the right/best thing!

I hope the movie ends with a black screen then it says, "RIP Heath Ledger" or something like that

This is a spoiler how?

I think we all knew this would happen, nice to know though.

 

[Nightmare]

Very Nice. Im glad they've done that.

 

[Ferd]

Yeah, that is very kind and poignant.

And to mention the special effect tech, too, was a nice, sentimental touch.

I still get sad when I think about seeing Heath included with the 'In Memoriam' part of the Oscars. Just so unbelievable at times.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Indeed, I'm glad they mentioned the tech, I think sometimes people forget two people lost their lives.

You know how easy it is to ruffle feathers these days. Damned if I stuck it in the non-spoller section, and as you pointed out damned if I didn't. :^)

 

[lemmasaurus]

The crew member who died has a really, really cool name. Conway Wickliffe? Wow!

Also, I'm not surprised that they're doing this, but I'm really glad. I'm sure I'll tear up a little when I see it.

the spoiler area has basically become the default posting place, lol.

 

[BatmanFanatic]

I wonder if it's the first title card we see after the film ends, or just a footnote in the credits. I'd like it to be special.

 

[the_monk]

I was hoping they'd do something for the crew member too.

 

[up2nogood316]

thats good to hear. like everyone else, i guessed this would pretty much be happening but its good to have it confirmed all the same.

 

[OctaviusINC]

It's impossible, I know, but during the credits I always wanted a little extra scene of Ledger in full Joker garb on a creepy abandoned stage and he just slowly bowed once and his name appears over the clip "Heath Ledger 1979-2008". Like I said, impossible, but still....idk.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

They could do it with the computer!.

I agree, for them to have only said "For Heath" or something along those lines would have been classless, two people died during the filming,both should be acknowledged, regardless of fame.

 

[XxDarkRebelXx]

I think it's nice they did this for Heath and Conway...both dedicated to their job.

 

[Nightwing1977]

Good to hear both Ledger & Wickliffe will have their name on the credits. That is the smartest move I ever heard so far on this film.

Indeed, I wonder what piece from the score will be playing during the credits.
