Heath Ledger found dead in NYC

[MC DUI]

You guys do know that he broke up with his wife last year.

Just saying that his world wasn't exactly perfect as others have stated what with him being rich & famous.

 

[Shinji]

So far here's what I've gathered

-Pneumonia
-Stress
-"Ledger was taking sleeping pills after completing I'm Not There, in which he played one of the many incarnations of singer Bob Dylan."
-"He 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"."

I just think he over-worked/over-stressed himself, got sick, and was on meds.

My fiancee is really sad about this too.

 

[nloding]

We lost a great actor who never really had a chance to truly shine.

They will not do any editing or postponing of Dark Knight -- it's almost completed anyhow. Name another movie that an actor dying has shut down the release? BS. You don't spend $100 million on a film only to not release it because someone died regardless of who that person was.

Sympathy will be given, but money rules this world.

 

[Ace Gunman]

That's is tragic; so young, so much acting skill, and one of my favorite actors of the current generation. I'm going to be honest, I'm in shock right now. So I probably won't feel the emotions I've supposed to feel for some time.

Sympathy will be given, but money rules this world.

I don't mean any disrespect, but if anything this will increase sales of that film.

 

[cruddybuddy]

Buy stock in The Dark Knight. TRUST ME.

 

[Akoji]

But I think that they HAVE to release the film, he worked so hard for the Joker, that I think in some point, that what's killed him

 

[BoneMonkey]

i just heard on the news the film is already done and they WILL RELEASE it this spring

 

[Flooded]

I just saw this tribute to him:

Its sad to see him go.

 

[Szyslak]

That's terrible. :'( He was a fine actor who was just starting to come into his own. The loss of a life this young in this manner is a tragedy in my book, famous or not.

I'm a little disappointed to see the discussion of how this will or will not affect TDK.

I would hope this community would have more reverence for a life lost.

 

[Akoji]

Well... in a way I think that TDK would have been his masterpiece and you can fell that he putted all his soul in that role... So it's bound to happen to talk of that movie. But yeah, like I said before, it's kind of sad too lose an actor who were entering his prime.

I think that Flooded should see his post delete by respect.

 

[Beelzebozo]

RIP. My condolences to his family.

 

[hanman]

he probably didn't do it on purpose. they found him naked; pretty rare for a suicide.

as far as people making a fuss over it...i just don't get it. why should i care more about this guy being dead than any random person from my neighborhood? don't get me wrong; i'm not without sympathy for him and his family. believe me, i know what it's like to lose someone really important. i guess famous movie stars just don't mean any more to me than the guys who pick up my garbage. probably less.

anyway, my sincerest condolences to his family.

 

[Hadrian]

Its a damn shame really, he was very talented and it sounded like he was gonna be a good director too.

Its always bad to hear about anyone (who isn't evil) dying.

 

[CockroachMan]

Sad news.. the guy was a great actor..

 

[dakeyras]

as far as people making a fuss over it...i just don't get it. why should i care more about this guy being dead than any random person from my neighborhood?

Because he made me cry during Brokeback Mountain.

 

[berlinka]

Well, it's sad off course, but hey, people die. I can't be that bothered about it.

 

[beautifulbeast]

I too was in shock this morning when I heard it in the news because he was my favorite actor. I don't know if this is right but, somehow, it makes me want to see The Dark Knight even more because I am sure that it will be a great performance. And even if it isn't, we will always have Brokeback Mountain (got so mad when he didn't get the Oscar), Monster's Ball, Ten Things I Hate About You (one of my favorite teen movies), etc...

 

[Mortenga]

Is it strange to have never heard of this actor?

 

[ackers]

My mate told me about his death earlier today. Sad news. I liked his performance in A Knights Tale (I think it was called that).

Shame really.

 

[WeaponXxX]

I don't know why everyone is thinking they won't show TDK...jesus Brandon Lee died in the MIDDLE of shooting the crow and they CGed him into the rest of the movie...why would things change now?

And if it was accidental...tragic for him...message it deliveries is your time on this planet may be short...go out and enjoy life while you can cause you really never know when the next day may be your last!
