Heath Ledger Dead?!
- Thread starter DOA82
- Start date
I think the studio will postpone it for a year..at least. Maybe 2 years. I assume that the studio and Chris Nolan want to do a series of Batman movies exploring lots of stories/conflicts/enemies that the Tim Burton films didn't do.
This is a horrible day. The other thing I wonder about...will the Writers and Studios actually negotiate now in a meaningful way? This tragedy, coupled with the sinking economy, coupled with the upcoming Oscars....it's time.
RIP Heath Ledger.

Yup, it's in post-production.
I honestly believe that it could have been an accidental OD....he had an appointment with a masseuse that day....why make the appointment if you're gonna committ suicide? Then again, we may never know what was going on through his mind during those final moments and it could have been a spur of the moment thing.
:dunno:

That's my thoughts too RedHood, the masseuse thing.
He died in an appartment owned by Mary Kate Olson too. Why would he kill himself in someone elses apartment?
Shit, maybe Mary Kate did it!

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon apartment in Manhattan owned by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the New York City police. Signs pointed to a suicide, police sources said. Mr. Ledger was 28.
At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.
The police said they did not suspect foul play. The police said they believed Ms. Olsen, 21, was in California and said it was not clear why Mr. Ledger was in her apartment.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”
Mr. Ledger met the actress Michelle Williams while filming ‘’Brokeback Mountain.” The two actors fell into a romance and moved to Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, where their comings and goings were widely noted by paparazzi. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born on Oct. 28, 2005. The couple separated last year.
In an interview in London for an article published in November, Mr. Ledger told The New York Times, ‘’I feel like I’m wasting time if I repeat myself.” He said in the interview that he was not proud of his latest role, in Todd Haynes’s “I’m Not There,” in which Mr. Ledger was one of a half-dozen actors depicting the musician Bob Dylan. ‘’I feel the same way about everything I do. The day I say, ‘It’s good’ is the day I should start doing something else,” said in the interview.
Calls by The Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.
That's probably the most detailed article I've read yet.....for all we know he could have been depressed over his separation from his girlfriend maybe?

It may have been a pure accident. Shit happens sometimes... even to the best of us.
WB will definitely release the movie on time... The studio hasn't been stringing out the hits, it needs something.
Heath's death is so incredibly random and so sad, for he was an actor that was just getting to his craft.

Thats the thing about celebrities, we the public don't really know them, only what we are exposed to or what they allow us to see. We the general and adoring public do not know their personal joys or their moments of dispair or inner demons....rest in peace Heath.

It's gonna be wierd watching Dark Knight, but this also makes me wanna see it more.
From what I've seen so far, he's done an excellent job as The Joker. Jack Nicholson will be proud :thumbsup:

im on the fence here, i liked heath ledger as an actor and what not but i dont have too much sympathy for people who overdose on drugs...people should be stronger than that...as for it being an "accidental overdose" i dont buy it, its no accident if you keep popping pills all day...ill have a better opinion on it when we hear more

It's always sad when someone dies young.
