Dark Knight Curse?

There is talk of a Dark Knight curse. Some may say "Curse? The movie has made 400 million dollars in 17 days. That is anything but a curse!"

To put that in perspective Titanic made 1.5 million dollars in the same amount of time -- it is this bloggers opinion that The Dark Knight will become the biggest domestic grossing film of all time; Titanic is presently the biggest with 600 million dollars; yet I think Titianic will remain the largest international grosser with 1.8 billion dollars.

The talk of curse comes from elsewhere, however. I was in the grocery store two days ago and saw the front of the National Enquirer and its title read Dark Knight Curse. The article was about the fact that both of the big stars of the film have undergone bad experiences: Heath Ledger, of course, dying of an accidental drug overdose in January and Christian Bale's recent arrest and accustion of assault on his own mother and sister. Both stars suffering tragedy.

And then something strange happened. I came home today from a town parade, sat down on my couch and turned on CNN, and the first thing that came up was the following story:

Hollywood Actor Morgan Freeman Seriously Hurt in Car Accident:

Oscar-winning actor Morgan Freeman said to be in a serious condition after the car he was driving flipped over several times late on Sunday. Freeman was driving near his home in Charleston, Mississippi, at the time of the accident. The actor and a female companion were cut free by emergency workers before being airlifted to a hospital 90 miles away in Memphis, Tennessee.

Kathy Stringer, a spokeswoman for the regional medical centre in Memphis, described the 71-year-old actor's condition as "serious".
The editor of the Charleston Sun Sentinel newspaper, who arrived at the scene shortly after the accident, said Freeman had been conscious and talking to rescuers. "They had to use the jaws of life [hydraulic cutters] to extract him from the vehicle."

Don't get me wrong I don't think there is curse. But I hope that this bad run for the cast of this film stops.

I hope and pray that Morgan Freeman is alright.
