Joel Edgerton looks so much like Heath Ledger on the cover.

ok, so first off i am sorry if this has come up before. i have yet to see this movie. i heard about it years ago and wasn't that interested, granted though i was only 10 when it came out.

now i had no memory of who was in it when i heard of it years ago. i however walked past it at kmart yesterday. i stopped and had a look at it. it looked to me like heath ledger was in it and i was curious that i didn't know much about it as i have seen most heath ledger movies (i'm not a mad fan i just happen to have somewhat followed his career). so i see it there and am suddenly interested in it because i am naturally attracted to movies with a good cast. i see that joel edgerton is on there and think to myself that they've got a pretty good cast with rose byrne there too. i look at the main cast and do not see heath ledgers name at all. i assume that the row of cast is just the supporting cast and the heath ledgers name is somewhere else. but his name is nowhere to be scene. and then i check out the back and it says that it's joel edgerton that plays the main character and i begin to be confused as joel edgerton and heath ledger usually do not look at all alike.

so anyway does anybody else find this weird. i mean it's like they designed the character for heath ledger and then he turned it down so they got a less known actor to look exactly like him.

Interesting never thought about that before but Joel Edgerton in Australia is famous, doesn't he? And Heath was in Ned Kelly gang or something maybe that's why like you said they got look a like actor but who knows really...

Joel looked pretty bad as a blond. He was handsomer in Kinky Boots.
