Nolan Talks About The Dark Knight, And The Joker

The Dark Knight director, Christopher Nolan, talks with Robert Siegel:

"Really, we wanted him to be the most frightening possible version of this character, the sort of edgiest possible,"

"What Heath had to do -- and I think he did it in a really incredible way -- is he had to balance the need for The Joker to be an iconic presence, but be a human being and be somebody that you can listen to and believe," Nolan says.

Okay, Where Was I...

Jackie Chan talks with Robert Siegel about his father being a spy, his martial arts training regimen, and making 'The Forbidden Kingdom' with Jet Li. Li and Chan are huge in martial arts movies and 'The Forbidden Kingdom' is their first movie together. For fans of the genre it's sort of like De Niro and Pacino in working together for the first time in 'Heat'.
