Heath Ledger Dead

[Jared Meyer]

Wow, that's a surprise.

Was Dark Knight finished?

It's in post, I believe.

 

[HueyFilms]

Dark Knight was completed, he was in production on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

...he was in production on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

I don't mean any disrespect here - but... is it just me or is Terry Gilliam cursed?

I gotta say, Terry Gilliam has the WORST damn luck. Anyone who's seen Lost in LaMancha knows what I'm talking about.

 

[Ming]

What a major bummer. He was a very gifted actor. That sucks.

Good observation, Luis. This will be the latest in a neverending series of deathblows dealt all of Gilliam's projects.

Wow. I cant believe it. I liked him alot and he was just starting to really get big. Sad news.

Jesus.. It can be weird reading these types of things about people you don't even know. But man how it can affect you.

RIP dude, you had something great, and you blew it. Not to come off to harshly, but unless he was on the verge of death, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Who would have thought someone like him would not have the strength to endure whatever problems had arisen?

 

[Isaac_Brody]

Ugh. He was a tremendous talent. What a loss.

 

[HueyFilms]

It still isn't clear whether or not it was suicide, it may have been an accidental OD.

Wow just read this I couldn't believe it at first. Shocking. His Joker looks to be amazing I was just watching the trailer for the 100th time last night and now this. RIP and I sure hope it wasn't a OD.

A few news sources are claiming that it was accidental as per NYPD.

Celebrity deaths don't mean sh*t to me. But for some reason this one kinda hit me. He was one of the few hollywood actors that I thought had a genuine talent.

It's really too bad about this.

Dammit.

CNN.com updated slightly 7 minutes ago, but not with any new hard info that I can see.

"A representative of Ms. Olsen said this afternoon that the apartment did not belong to the actress."

(My apologies if theis was mentioned. The thread is going so fast, I just skimmed the past two pages.)
