Stuntman Conway Wickliffe also paid tribute, killed in the line of duty
By Matthew B. Zeidman
HOLLYWOOD, CA (Hollywood Today) 6/27/08 – As July looms and audiences draw ever closer to the highly anticipated release of “The Dark Knight,” Warner Bros. has revealed that star Heath Ledger will be specially honored in the film’s closing credits. The newest “Batman” big-screen feature will see the late Oscar nominee playing heinous criminal Joker in his last completed production.
The movie studio posted the homage on its press Web site Thursday, which read, “In memory of our friends Heath Ledger & Conway Wickliffe.” Wickliffe was a special-effects technician for the film, who was killed in September in a work-related accident. Ledger passed away four months later in his Manhattan apartment as a result of an accidental drug overdose, shocking his fans and the entertainment community at large.
The film is scheduled for first release in Iceland and the Philippines on July 16, before opening to the public in a number of other international markets the following day, including Ledger’s native Australia. Opening day in the United States will be July 18.
Earlier this week, a representative for Michelle Williams, the mother of Ledger’s 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, contradicted rumors that the popular actress was staying away from the premiere of “The Dark Knight” due to a schism between her and the deceased actor’s family. The spokesperson called such speculation “absurd” and asked that Ledger’s loved ones be allowed to go on with their lives.
