Movie shockvertising: Are the producers of new Batman movie scoring from Ledger death?
Posted on 08. Jul, 2008 by Jonathan Cherry in Advertising
Here’s a shot of the giant billboard for The Dark Knight, featuring Heath Ledger as The Joker, found on Houston Street in New York promoting the upcoming film.
It’s apparently positioned just two blocks away from the apartment where he died.
A fitting tribute to the work of a great actor – or a nice angle to promote sales of movie tickets?
