Joker Being Filmed Skateboarding (plus more) (Fair Use)

Source: MyFox Chicago
At 23 seconds into the video, Heath Ledger, as the Joker, is being filmed skateboarding on Lower Wacker Drive in Chicago. I smell The Dark Knight Blu-ray Disc bonus material.

Video also contains: Tumbler (high-speed version) being driven around, and Ledger's double talking to people. Anyone read lips?

they should have atleast put some of this footage on the dvd... clearly they were filming it... they really screwed us over on the dvd extras.

[danieldeibler]

@aNightmaresRequiem I have to agree with you there.

[futurestoryteller]

In spite of the fact that this is obviously real footage - it sure doesn't look like him. Wonder why. Guess like the guy bellow, I thought Ledger was shorter or something.

Well, the second Joker you see isn't Heath; it's his double. Heath only appears in the video briefly at 0:23 where he is seen skateboarding in Joker makeup while being filmed.

This is awesome!! I only saw the small clip of Joker skateboarding on the news. Thank you for uploading this. I love behind-the-scenes stuff.

We miss you Heath!!!

[danieldeibler]

That's exactly why I uploaded it. By now, there's a good chance this video doesn't even exist on MyFox Chicago's site anymore. If it does, it's buried somewhere and it's only a matter of time before it gets lost/deleted. And, since it doesn't seem they used the skateboarding footage in any of the special features, this is probably the only place you'll ever see Heath skateboarding on set in Joker makeup. I uploaded the footage of the semi flip filming for the same reason.
