Executives behind the upcoming Batman franchise flick The Dark Knight will not alter a scene in the film that depicts the late Heath Ledger's character, the Joker, pretending to be dead. The scene in question shows Ledger hiding out in a bodybag, and it left some test audience members "reeling." Rumors abounded that the film would be reworked to mitigate the shock, but a source close to the production says, "The film remains intact - and nothing of Ledger's will be cut from the movie, including the bodybag scene." Related: Many film studios to stop using seven-year-olds as test audience members.

Wilson took the stage with co-stars Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman to talk about the movie, and director Wes Anderson said of him, "I've never made a movie without him and I hope I never have to."

Because heaven forbid Wes Anderson make a movie that doesn't include a dim, sensitive, troubled blond. That would be like Zach Braff not portraying a numb, upper middle class Northeasterner with major issues or Wesley Snipes playing a character who doesn't at least once remind everyone he's black.
