Director Stephen Gaghan Shares New Tragic Details of Heath Ledger’s Death


Director Stephen Gaghan detailed how Heath Ledger’s 2008 ‘sad’ death made him put ‘a pin’ in a movie he was making

“I just had to put a pin in it,” Gaghan, 58, recalled during an episode of the “Developmental Hell” podcast, which is an offshoot of Gladwell’s “Revisionist History” show. Before he won a posthumous Oscar for his portrayal of Joker in The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger was just a wide-eyed Australian boy trying to make it big in Hollywood. Earlier in the “Developmental Hell” episode, the duo explained that they initially teamed up to develop Gladwell’s 2005 book Blink into a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio on board.
