... Heath Ledger is dead.

[Windrunner]

just read the article about it. really tragic becasue he was really an talented actor. and he looked really good as joker in the upcoming batman movie

[Fineus]

I hope this isn't truly inappropriate, but I couldn't help but think...

What better way to promote the new Batman than to publicise the death of the Joker...

Of course, assuming he really is dead, that sucks.

that would be, like, the most amazingly tasteless viral marketing campaign ever, dude

[Ford Prefect]

Why so serious?





Sorry.



I'm really sorry.

But it'd work.


****ing Batman.

[Sarafan]

It's a real shame that he died, quite young and of potential.

[Hippo]

****ing Batman.

[Rictor]

Not to sound like a callous douche, but did he finish filming Batman?

Anyway, he was a good actor. It's quite sad that I remember him for Knight's Tale and not some of his more serious work.

[IceFire]

According to the news he just wrapped up work on the new Batman movie.  Which is good for the movie assuming they go ahead and show it...I imagine they would but I don't know if something like this has happened in recent memory.  I guess the best thing to do to honour the actors memory is to get the movie out and show them doing what they presumably loved to do.

Its a shame...a promising career cut short.  Rest in peace.

The Wikipedia entry said that his role as the Joker was causing him some kind of sleep trouble, maybe due to the stress.

I know that sleep trouble leads to depression. I wonder if there was a link?

[Mr. Vega]

Ledger told The New York Times in a November interview that he "stressed out a little too much" during the Dylan film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a "psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy."

"Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night," Ledger told the newspaper. "I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going." He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour, the paper said.

Either a suicide or he was so desperate for a good night's sleep that took one sleeping pill too many.

[Kazan]

that officially sucks arse... he was a good actor

[Ford Prefect]

Ah yes, method acting... it's how to get paid for being bat**** insane.

Brandon Lee treatment, also, TDK is in post-production phase so we'll see Heath in his final role (as a killer clown fighting against a superhero who dresses as a bat, THAT should convince everyone).

[TrashMan]

Am I the only one who never was impress with him as  an actor?

[Hades]

How come you disagree on everything with everybody?

[Ransom]

I don't know. I'm more bothered by the fact that he seems to think whether he liked the man's acting is at all significant.

It's a damn shame no matter how you look at it.

[vyper]

Pity his last movie had to be his only good one. Assuming The Dark Knight is good.

You have seen Brokeback Mountain, right?
