Is The Dark Knight movie cursed?
That thought occurred to me after hearing about Morgan Freeman’s car accident Sunday. It sounded pretty serious but by the sounds of it, he’ll be hurting for a bit but perhaps ultimately OK. I hope. He plays Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight.
But when the movie came out, Batman/Bruce Wayne actor Christian Bale was arrested for allegedly assaulting his sister and mother. Now, sure, whatever happened was probably a result of bad decisions but still. Could something have been looming over to push him to the brink if that was the case?
And of course, the tragedy of Heath Ledger’s death which everyone knows about by now.
Worse yet, with all the hype and great reviews, I ended up not liking the movie. Which was as much a tragedy on my wallet. Movies are expensive!
So, if anything happens to Aaron Eckhart, Michael Caine or Maggie Gyllenhaal or any other cast and crew members of The Dark Knight in the next few weeks, I’m going to expect some credence to my hypothesis.
