Transcript

00:00 The new trailer has dropped for the documentary I'm Heath Ledger, which features lots of home

00:03 video footage shot by Heath Ledger himself, and interviews with his friends and family.

00:08 Heath Ledger passed away in 2008 when he was only 28 years old, but he left behind some

00:12 amazing movies, and the string of incredible performances, and not to mention some really

00:17 awesome pictures which I keep in my phone.

00:20 Ledger first captured audiences attention in movies like 10 Things I Hate About You

00:24 and A Knight's Tale, and eventually was nominated for his performance in Brokeback Mountain.

00:28 "Why don't you just let me be, huh?"

00:30 Ledger also left an indelible mark in the comic book world with his unique portrayal

00:33 of the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises.

00:36 I loved Heath Ledger as the Joker, but The Dark Knight Rises was really dark.

00:39 And when I compare it to something like 10 Things I Hate About You, which reminded me

00:43 that romance is still possible in this world, it's kind of depressing.

00:46 "I love you baby, and if it's quite alright, I need you baby."

00:53 I Am Heath Ledger examines his really short career, and his life behind the camera.

00:58 Friends, family, and film collaborators all sat down to share their memories of an artist

01:02 gone too soon.

01:03 The film is set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York on April 23rd, and

01:07 after that it's going to be on Spike TV on May 17th.
