Basically, He didn't do any looping, they're going to have to dub his voice.
Sounds of Sadness
"Someone will have to dub his voice. It’s the only way."
—Studio insider behind Warners’ upcoming Batman flick, The Dark Knight, starring the late Heath Ledger
Loads of folks have been wondering if Ledger had done any looping for his Dark scenes, which he’d finished filming, of course. I've been given the answer on just how many looping sessions (a most essential postproduction process almost always required of actors in a flick) Heath had completed: zero. It’s an enormous problem for Warners to finagle—not to mention the entire marketing scheme, which had been centered around Ledger as the Joker. More on that next week. Meanwhile, the audio predic:When Oliver Reed died, his second to last film, Gladiator, was in the exact same editing period Dark is now. The Brit star had already completed several looping sessions—just not all of them. So, the audio experts digitally re-created, vowel by vowel, quite literally, Reed’s voice from those earlier recordings. But Warners is entirely cooked in that regard: no looping sessions to draw from. They’ll be pressed, I’m told by those who are currently scrambling to help address the Heath factor, to use a replacement actor.
Sorry, don’t see the prob nearly as much as Heath himself was faced with.
Heard about this yesterday, but figured everyone would've been arguing about it by now. Either way I don't see them having to do THAT much dubbing, ass they obviously already have enough of him for a trailer. Just random scenes I suppose. Still sucks. Alot.
