Heath Ledger Found Dead

Post by Lavarinth »

Today, probably not even 30 minutes ago... Sad, sad news. His role as the Joker in The Dark Knight appears to be overly fantastic. Damn.. He was supposed to be a returning character for the rest of the movies..
Actor Heath Ledger, one of the stars of "Brokeback Mountain," was found dead in his bed in his Manhattan apartment, at 3:35 p.m., New York City police said Tuesday.

Oh, he was suppose to make more Batman sequels?  Way to ruin the franchise, Heath :(

Horrible tragedy.  Just terrible.  They don't know if he overdosed on drugs by accident or suicide.
I have seen the Desler.  I have tasted of his milk and honey.

Possible drug relations.. Yeah, there's supposed to be an amazing ending pointing out just how more intelligent he is than Batman considering he's the main villain to Batman and eventually introduce him in sequels. They can continue the series, although they will probably just have voiceovers while he's "in a cell" in Arkam in future movies, or be the "shadow" of a lot of crimes but never truly seen again. Who knows.. All I know is I was touched by his dedication to play the 'perfect Joker.' He spent months in an apartment alone reading journals of madmen and perfecting his role. Damn.. Just damn.

That was a huge tragedy when he died, I especially like his part in the Patriot as the son of Mel Gibson. My sister probably was hit the hardest in my family because she seen most of his movies. He was a great actor.

I like to dramatize when celebs die. Like when I heard the crocodile hunter died.

I was just checking SA a minute ago, and I saw your post there.  And then I came over here, and this is the first thing I see.  And I'm thinking "...well fuck."

EDIT: oh, and

Dark Knight has finished filming, so you'll still get to see Joker in all his glory...

...hell if anything, this could be to Heath Ledger what The Crow was to Brandon Lee.
