“Dark Knight” Curse? … Morgan Freeman Injured In Bad Auto Accident
Morgan Freeman IS one of my very favorite actors. I haven’t seen anything he’s done that I haven’t liked his performance in. I do not know his political leanings, and for me that is good. I think it means he’s not one of these show-off know-it-alls in Hollywood.
Anyhow, starting to ponder a “Dark Knight” curse of sorts here. First the death of Heath Ledger. Then the arrest in a domestic dispute with family members for Christian Bale on the opening night. Now this accident involving Freeman.
They say some movies have ‘curses’ attached to them. The one that comes to mind most is “Poltergeist” … Look that up online for all the ‘curse’ derived from that one …
Actor Morgan Freeman hospitalized at The MED after serious car accident
MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman was involved in a serious car accident Sunday night in north Mississippi.
Mississippi Highway Patrol spokesperson Ben Williams said Freeman and a female passenger were traveling eastbound on Mississippi Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when his vehicle went off the edge of the road. Freeman overcorrected, flipping his 1997 Nissan Maxima several times before coming to a rest.
Emergency crews extracted Freeman and his passenger from their vehicle using the jaws of life. According to Williams, they were both airlifted to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where Freeman was listed in serious condition Monday morning.
The condition of Freeman’s passenger has not been released.
Freeman, who won an Academy Award for his performance in 2004’s Million Dollar Baby, is a co-owner of the Ground Zero Blues Club in Memphis. He currently stars in the Batman sequel The Dark Night.

I really enjoy the lion’s share of his movies. Praying for a speedy recovery.
August 4th, 2008 at 8:46 amMorgan Freeman is one of my favorite actors as well. a very smart man not to mention. I hope he gets better really soon and as for the Dark knight curse, it really seems like it

August 4th, 2008 at 9:28 amMorgan Freeman on politics:
“I’m very worried about what’s going on in the world at the moment because we have this Napoleonic president; by Napoleonic I mean he’s a man who just seems to need to search himself. It doesn’t make sense. I don’t have any love lost on Saddam Hussein. If he needs to be removed from office, fine. You have to find the right way to do it, but going to war, nah, with the people. To do what. What is the real reason? Because he’s harboring weapons of mass destruction? So it is with North Korea. Why are we acting to acquiesce to this? We do not need the Iraqi oil. We have Kuwait oil. It’s the same pool. That’s why Kuwait’s there. That’s why Kuwait was set up. You think that country could exist there without somebody backing it? We’re talking about a piece of Iraq. So, we keep this. That’s my noise. I am terribly upset about the whole thing.”

August 4th, 2008 at 10:37 amI wish them both well.
If he’s questioned the reasons we’re at war, at least he’s not been out there on the same level as the Glovers and Penns.
What’s he doing driving a ‘97 Maxima?
August 4th, 2008 at 5:16 pmI wish him well-he is a good actor, and seems level headed
