Gilliam, who was behind the camera while Heath filmed scenes from his last film The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus, also claims The Dark Knight bosses are "shamelessly capitalising" on rumours that the actor will win an Oscar for his role as The Joker.

They're like a great white shark which devours whatever it can."Heath Ledger director slams Batman
