Here that Stan!, but the test audience has influence to change the weak studio exec mind. (This could be bad).

Captian of the Lexx: his name is Stan too. So now you have to rent,buy,download or borrow LEXX. lol.

Yo Way Yo….

I agree that this is most likely a rumor. However, I dont care if a test audience liked it or not. Yes, his death was unexpected, and every death is tragic. But you don’t deal with it by erasing his parts. Personally, i feel it would be disrespectful to remove him from the film. This was his last work, and I feel it is very appropriate to leave his parts intact.

And speaking of LEXX, I still haven’t seen it. I really need to so I can join the bandwagon.

Well I have to say the Lexx itself was one of the best ships I’ve ever seen in scifi. It lives, it blows up planets, looks like a gigantic bug. Perfect!

Also loved the music too.

Right on Steven. LEXX was one of the best. I have the entire series on dvd (even season 1) and feel pretty lucky.

Yes, the first thing we see is Kai killing himself in a fight, and then it happens again at the very end. So quite agree it was Kai’s story more than anyone else’s.
I really liked the first series, with the Divine Shadow empire, but the third one with the two planets, Fire and Water, was very good as well.

Yea Steven the whole LEXX adventure is really about Kai if you ask me. From the opening scene of his homeworld being destroyed to the last episode where he’s brought back from dead so he can sacrefice himself was just brilliant.
Everyone should go rent LEXX!
Just forget that I ruined the end for ya.

Lexx could be very up and down over all the series but I thought it finished well and liked Kai’s end. (although I looked away when it happened and am desperate to see it again so I can sit rivetted!)
Kai was a very cool character. I love that the first time we see him as the Divine Assassin he has his head and arm cut off, and still kills the bloke.

I’m sure if you played Batman no one would have a problem seeing the character over the actor.

Hahaha. Steven. Well I did love Kai but not like that.!
Wasn’t that last season amazing.
Anyway.
Yeah when I see Bale in other films I have to forget he plays Batman for it to work for me. That’s why I wish I would just play Batman and nothing else. But like that’s gonna happen.

I have seen all the series so yes, I know about the love of the dead man, but I didn’t want to out you.

Very good point about the characters. These are two of the most recognisable around and I know I won’t have a problem with seeing them as such. I think Bale is a great actor but in this he’s Batman/Bruce Wayne.

Thanks for the LEXX quote Steven.
Did you ever see the 4th season. 790 falls for Kai…but I’m more into Zev.
ANYWAY………..
One thing about Batman, when I see these type of films on the bigscreen I don’t think about the actors I forget them. Too me that’s the Joker, (Heath Ledger who). Bale who’s that?
I’m there to be visually taken to another world.
After what the Joker prob does to his victims, Ledger or not I’ll prob hope Batman kills him.
Like Tommy said Heath would have wanted that.

If they cut anything out what’s the odds that it won’t make it on the dvd and THAT would be an insult to not just the fans but to Ledger and the franchise in general….
If anything I wouldn’t mind seeing a dedication to Ledger at the END of the credits.

I really hope that’s how it goes and I do think it will be ok. I know some will cause a fuss, but if this movie matches the expectations, it will move over it.

Out of respect for the actor they should leave it in. I think Heath would have wanted that. By all accounts his performance is amazing & to cut anything would be an insult.

Of course I haven’t seen the movie, but here’s what I think will happen: Ledger will immerse himself so deeply into the character and the movie will be so engaging that we may think about Heath’s death for the first few minutes we see him onscreen, but after that we’ll get lost in his performance and the story.

Have to admit I’m worried his death will overshadow the movie – it will become a talking point and fans of his will either claim it as a tribute to him or denounce it for scenes like that.
Personally I just want to watch the film. His death was tragic but I was far more touched by true movie greats moving on like Heston and Schieder.
Like 790 (all by the Xev I lay) I hope a proper test audience gets to see this. Not a bunch of over reactors but people who can define decency and professionalism.

I think one point that was overlooked here is that a test audience could possibly screw this film for the rest of us.

I vote Vic and his staff should be part of that screening test audience.

You owe me big time if WB calls you Vic,,,,lol
