Role: Ned
Kelly
In the late19th century,
Australia's first-generation
Irish immigrant population
lives in poverty. Having
experienced police brutality
and the death of his father,
bushranger Ned (Heath
Ledger) is wrongfully
imprisoned on the trumped-up
charge of stealing a horse.
Emerging a few years later,
Ned is hardened but vows to
stay straight. But the
British colonial system
remains prejudiced against
Australia's working people.
In 1878, a bullying police
officer is rebuffed by Ned's
younger sister Kate and
targets the family for
harassment. Ned and his
mother are unjustly charged
with attempted murder. Ned
is determined to avenge his
family's name and strike
back against his people's
oppressors. While hiding in
the bush, he forms a loyal
Gang that includes his best
friend and first lieutenant
Joe Byrne. They blaze a
trail through the Outback,
robbing banks to fund
themselves as well as to
recover immigrants' land
deeds, and giving police the
runaround. To the masses,
Ned is a hero. To lawmen and
the establishment, he is the
most wanted man in
Australia. When the
authorities bring in the
formidable Superintendent
Francis Hare, and an army of
police, Ned strategizes a
risky showdown at the
Glenrowan Inn. It is this
event which will seal his
fate - and his legend.
This film version of Kelly's
story is based on "Our Sunshine"
by Robert Drew.

Role: William
Thatcher / Sir Ulrich Von
Lichtenstein of Gelderland
In the Middle Ages,
there is only one form of
competition to separate the
men from the boys: jousting
tournaments. Inspired by
"The Canterbury Tales," this
is the story of William
(Heath Ledger), a young
squire with a gift for
jousting. After his master
dies suddenly, the squire
hits the road with his
cohorts Roland and Wat. On
the journey, they stumble
across an unknown writer,
Chaucer. William, lacking a
proper pedigree, convinces
Chaucer to forge genealogy
documents that will pass him
off as a knight. With his
new identity, Sir Ulrich of
Liechtenstein, William wins
tournaments and receives
acclaim. However, the only
way for William to prove
himself as truly noble is to
beat out all of his enemies,
including the arrogant and
undefeated Count Adhemar, in
a series of jousts and win
the heart of the fair
maiden.

Role: Patrick
(Pat) Verona
Updated version of William
Shakespeare's "Taming of the
Shrew," set at Padua High
School in Seattle. Meet the
Stratford sisters: pretty
and popular Bianca (Larisa
Oleynik), who has never had
a date; and Kat (Julia
Stiles), her older sibling,
an ill-tempered harridan
whose acerbic wit is matched
only by her steadfast
determination to alienate
any guy who might be
remotely interested in her.
Unfortunately, strict rules
in the Stratford household
forbid Bianca from having a
boyfriend until her odious
sister has one of her own-a
situation that seems highly
improbable considering Kat
is a social disaster.
Bianca's desperation for
romance turns into a
convoluted scheme to match
Kat with her male
equivalent--a guy whose
reputation is so infamous,
Kat might rise to the
challenge and find him
worthy of her concealed
charms. Mating mayhem ensues
when Patrick Verona (Heath
Ledger)--a sullen young man
with a mysterious past--is
bribed by Bianca's wannabe
boyfriend (Andrew Keegan) to
woo and win Kat, in order to
clear the way for Bianca to
begin dating.
