Details breaking. Found dead in Manhattan apartment according to NYPD.
WTF seriously?
*edit* nevermind. www.cnn.com wow.
Holy shit! Where the hell did this come from?
I'll reiterate what I said in the deadpool thread. I'm really depressed about this :(
Fuck!
http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/22/heath-ledger-is-dead/
i had posted it in deadpool
Sucks for him. His career was about to skyrocket even more with his Batman role.
Shit!
What does this hold for TDK?
http://www.tmz.com/2008/01/22/heath-ledger-is-dead/
No foul play suspected.
(edit - same link as B-Ri)
i believe it already wrapped up shooting, just post, hopefully they had him all wrapped up with no need for ADR and shit.Quote:

Wow. Never would have seen that coming.
He overdosed on some pills I guess. Just heard it on the news.
Yeah, IMDB has TDK in Post Prod. Hrm.Quote:

Well, the film is in post-production. So odds are his death won't really change the film itself. But, I guess it depends on how the studio feels about releasing it. They may hold off till later in the year.Quote:

r.i.p...
according to IMDB batman has been in post since nov 17th. Im pretty sure its pretty wrapped up just waiting for its date of release.
His latest film, "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)" is filming, and probably getting the worst of it.
Damn, that sucks. RIP.
I liked A Knights Tale. heh
GF tells me perezhilton.com is saying one of the Olsen twins was with him shortly before he died. Can't access the site.
EDIT - PerezHilton removed the line about the Olsen twinQuote:

This sucks. Joker role looks incredible, too bad he won't get to reap the benefits. Dying young blows.
Fuck fuck fuck.
Damn this sucks. :(
Well this is surprising.
those skinny bitches killed him, they slipped him some shit, im calling it.Quote:

come to think of it she's kinda like the crypt keeper in that she's already well beyond death
What? Cocaine? This wouldn't be news imo. ;)Quote:

Fucking nuts. R.I.P.
I don't remember hearing anything about him doing drugs, getting into trouble etc. So I had always thought he was just a stand up guy and a great actor. I mean seriously where the hell did this come from.
its breaking they were his prescription pills
prescription DEATH TABLETS
The Superficial says the apt was owned by Mary Kate Olsen. Not sure if that's been amended since it was apparently removed from other sites.
fox is reporting that right now. Im telling you those skinny bitches killed him. He thought he was brushing his teeth but no, it was Coke paste.
CONFIRMED by NY Times. Looks like suicide.Quote:

his last picture on set in london, :O
I'm working the front desk in a girls dorm right now, and I've been breaking the news to all the girls that walk in. A frenzy has developed.

this is friggin horrible.
I guess he really didn't want to go back to Arkham.
WTF. Now TMZ says that the death was accidental and that the apt was not connected to Mary-Kate.
Fast-acting press agent magic, that.
Amazing how many of these successful Hollywood types can't control themselves or their success. I can't feel bad for millionaires who overdose on drugs while living in a $23,000.00/month apartment, it's just not in me.
If that's the case, I agree. But he really didn't seem like that type.
IAWTP 100%Quote:

Don't quote me on this, but this is what I'm watching now on CNN.
I think there's a reason this is so common. Money is a great structuring factor for a lot of people, and when you just throw unlimited amounts of money on some people, they can't handle it.Quote:

TMZ is streaming from the scene, but naturally the feed sucks.
thats what i don't get. i can understand to a point suicide when somebody is on the fucking streets and no family or friends but celebs? it just baffles my mind.Quote:

If you're poor and unhappy, at least you can figure that if you work and make money, you can be better off. If you're rich and unhappy, what's the point?Quote:

I'm surprised and saddened by his passing. I'm not shocked that the vultures are having a field day on eBay posting up merch right now including the TDK "Why so serious?" poster with "heath ledger" in the title description.
Someone I know made this comparison: Owen Wilson once played a suicidal role and got so depressed that he almost killed himself. Now, Heath Ledger followed suit, but, sadly, succeeded.Quote:

He's Batman, we'll never know unless he wants us to.
imagine if bale went on a mass killing spree after shooting american psycho. that would have been hardcore.
with a chainsaw and tennis shoes telling whoares to clean their pussy's.
Talk about shocker...
I dont think he killed himself, because I think he would put some pants on at least before he decided to overdose.
And yea, being rich, and famous, and realising that the shit doesn't make you feel any better, and trying to kill youself is pretty damn normal. It goes with many other depressive states as well.
RIP dude
Hurry up and get yours up before you lose out.Quote:

Why is it that a good actor like Chris Farley, or Ledger can do drugs and end up killing themselves but awful people like Britney can keep on partying? Why is life unfair like that?
I hope he bursts out of his coffin at his funeral in full joker get up and asks "why so serious??"
I really hate to say this, and I don't mean to sound crass, but I breathed a sigh of slight relief when I confirmed that The Dark Knight was done shooting.
I felt exactly the same way.Quote:

Update for 11:09 PM.
Heath Ledger still dead. Repeat: Heath Ledger is still dead.
Updates to follow.
This is horrible news. RIP.
Like I said in the Deadpool threat, this is such a pointless, terrible shame. I was never a huge fan of his previously, but what I've seen of his work as the Joker really had me enthused for TDK.
The Joker was supposed to live and be in the TDK sequel as well. Guess that's not happening now.
That explains it- we all know the only way out of pneumonia is suicide.Quote:

RIP I just keep thinking about his little girl. She's only 2, how sad to only know him through his movies.
Just don't show the poor girl A Knight's Tale.Quote:

I want to give you rep for making me lolirl but I can't without giving it to someone who doesn't actually deserve it.
:(
Go give some to Neo, he always deserves it and he doesn't have enough.
I still can't give you any.
:( x 2
The rep system is fail. :(
It's partially my fault for screwing with Nick when he was setting it up.
I did it!
All I had to do was give rep to everyone in the picture archive thread rep! They deserved it anyway.
Having a tortured soul is bad times.
I saw it on my cell phone online interface that I checked for the first time ever this morning, and I actually thought that my phone was just fucking with me.
This is really sad, over the past few months I had really grown to respect and like Ledger as an actor through Brokeback, I'm Not There, and the footage from TDK. Sucks. For serious I like 10 Things I Hate About You, btw
I keep wondering if it's going to harm TDK in other ways, because I've always thought he was supposed to live to scar Harvey Dent's face in the third movie. Judging by his performance in the trailers I mean.. you can't re-cast that.
Apparently that happens in Dark Knight. There's a scene in one of the trailers shown at a con that shows Dent at a bar. "Dent! I thought you were dead!" And you see scarred flesh on the back of Dent's neck and he says: "Half."Quote:

Thank you and have a super day,

Apparently Westboro Baptist Church is picketing his funeral. Someone really needs to kill every last one of those people.
YOU PLAYED A GAY IN ONE DEM MOVIES THATS WHUT YOU GIT *shoots pistols in the air*
You're just mad because I didn't agree with you that Conan the Barbarian should be black.Quote:

Yeah, I don't get that shit either. I used to read how Wesley Snipes would walk around the sets of the Blade movies staying 100% in character between takes. You know, all dark and brooding, talking in a gruff whisper and shit. I've always respected actors more who can turn it on and off at the drop of a hat.Quote:
Fuck Method acting. Fuck. It.
Seriously, if playing the Joker was the sole, direct cause of Ledger offing himself…man, what a douche.
Why? Because killing yourself is a sin? :rolleyes:Quote:

lol @ geting "so depressed" over dark acting role.
You know what's depressing? Working a 3rd shift factory job 14 hours a day for years and years and years and years doing the same exact shit.
