Alfred’s ‘Altercation’ October 8th, 2007, posted by FofR

Movieweb have posted a pressing interview with Michael Caine.  Here he once again talks up the brilliant portrayal of The Joker by Heath Ledger,

“I can tell you the biggest secret. The most shocking thing for both you and I, [...] It’s Heath Ledger as the Joker. He is going to surprise a lot of people. He is absolutely terrifying. I’d say that he is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen on screen.”

Michael Caine also mentioned an altercation between his character, Alfred, and the menacing Joker,

“Does Alfred and the Joker get into an altercation?”

He shook his head with a certain type of salesman like delight, “Yes. They do. They get into quite the altercation.”
