I just heard that they found Heath Ledger dead. Has anyone heard this? Hope it's a sick rumor.

Wow. This is rather shocking, especially with Dark Knight coming.

Sean Laughter · Jan 22, 2008

Yeah, it's up on CNN now too. This is craziness!

Greg_S_H · Jan 22, 2008

Mods, since this seems to be a true story, could you change my title to something a little more dignified like "Heath Ledger dies" or "Heath Ledger reported dead." Something. I was looking for confirmation when I typed it. Still very shocking.

Brent M · Jan 22, 2008

Holy shit!!! I just saw this on Fox News. I'm in absolute shock!!!

Chuck Mayer · Jan 22, 2008

Very, very shocking. I'll be interested in the details. It's terrible news, as he was on the cusp of a very promising career :frowning:

From a draconian standpoint, how on Earth do you market TDK now?

Brandon Conway · Jan 22, 2008

Wow. What a loss.

Patrick Sun · Jan 22, 2008

Wow, my officemates and I are in shock. RIP, Mr. Ledger.

im shocked to and that just sucks. no matter how it happened its just a downer.

reminds me of when brandon lee died, especially since some people had been comparing the jokes look to the crow.

WillG · Jan 22, 2008

Wow,

2nd young actor drug related death within, I believe, a week. And this time a kid is left behind.

Well, hopefully some good can come out of all these deaths and near deaths recently. Although I suppose Ledger's could have been suicide.

DavidPla · Jan 22, 2008

This is terrible. Absolutely terrible.

It is almost bitter sweet with what seems to be his career changing performance in "The Dark Knight" in a few months.

Greg_C_T · Jan 22, 2008

RIP, Heath.

:frowning:

Ronald Epstein · Jan 22, 2008

I'm watching CNN now. Nothing about drugs mentioned -- but
will stay tuned for more news.

Was he playing THE JOKER in the upcoming BATMAN film?

Is all the principal photography complete?

ThomasC · Jan 22, 2008

I'm in complete shock. :frowning: Rest in peace, Heath.

Qui-Gon John · Jan 22, 2008

Ron, I was gonna ask the same thing about Batman/Joker. Anyone know?

Patrick Sun · Jan 22, 2008

Yes, they completed principle photography on TDK, and are in post-production. On TMZ, they reported that the police found pills near Ledger's body.

Clinton McClure · Jan 22, 2008

Yeah Ron, he was the Joker. I'm at a loss for words...

WillG · Jan 22, 2008

Not to sound insensitive, but you couldn't buy better marketing than this.

Ray H · Jan 22, 2008

Damn. This is really sad news. It's still rather shocking.

Patrick Sun · Jan 22, 2008

I supposed you can go for the "See Heath Ledger's final film performance" marketing angle, but I doubt they will do that. I expect a dedication to him at the start of the closing credits, but it's going to be a very emotional opening night for all who worked on the film.
