Heath Ledger, who tragically died in 2008 at age 28, had plans to star in another movie before his accidental overdose, as revealed by director Stephen Gaghan, who had envisioned him for a film adaptation of Malcolm Gladwell’s book Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking.
Stephen, who famously directed the 2005 political thriller Syriana, claimed on a recent episode of the Developmental Hell podcast, a spin-off of Malcolm Gladwell’s Revisionist History show, that Heath had other aspirations in the early 2000s.
Moreover, the filmmaker revealed he had an idea to turn Malcom’s book, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, into a movie.
