14th July 2002: Ned Kelly Update

Production started on April 21st on Ned Kelly, under the direction of Gregor Jordan. Jordan was the guy behind Heath Ledger's little seen debut film, Two Hands, a great little Austrailian indie film also starring Bryan Brown. The shoot will take in Victoria, Australia as well as some shooting in Ireland. Joining Ledger, who here plays the title role of Ned Kelly, are Geoffrey Rush, Orlando Bloom. Rachel Griffiths and Mulholland Drive's Naomi Watts. The film will be the first to be made by the Australian arm of Working Title Films, the comany resonsable for such films as Four Weddings and a Funeral and About A Boy. The budget is apparently

"Number one, he's the right age. Ned was 25 when he died. Ned was also a very charismatic guy. When he walked into a room, he'd command attention without even trying. Heath is the kind of guy who just has that thing, too. He has lots of charisma.

"If you want to make a film of this size, you've got to have a star on board. He fits the bill and, as an incredible bonus, he's Australian."

Ledger will play Kelly for the last ten years of his life. For those not familiar with the story, Kelly was hanged in 1880 at the age of 25. Ledger is 23. To get into the role, Ledger has been staying in hotel room overlooking Old Melbourne Jail, where Kelly was hanged. A pic of Heath Ledger in the role of Ned Kelly is posted above.

There are more images from the set of at Iron Outlaw.
