He is starring in the new Batman movie this summer as the villan "The Joker." WLTX.com will have more information as it becomes available. fuckin shame. Quote
ALL STAR Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I cant believe it i was so impressed with what he did as an actor with the Joker thought it was a really a new level in his career its a fucking shame. Quote
Aero Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 im really gutted now this sunk in, i had high hopes for him as joker (still do) but really wanted him to then be in future batman movies, excluding BBM which i never intend to watch, i've always liked this guy, even in 10 things i hate about you... but thats for personal reasons best not explained in a topic about his death. R.I.P heath. Quote
CS Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 What a shame, I've always been a big fan of his. This just sucks. rip Quote
Subrick Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Damn. Wikipedia says that his housekeeper found him surrounded by pills. R.I.P., Heath. Quote
The Don Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 My friend told me about it earlier, supposidly there was a bunch of pills in the room. Damn shame, RIP. Quote
Thom Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah but Wikipedia's such a credible resource that if you edit the entry and say that he's come back to life, he actually would do. Quote
ReverseTombstone Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Not good news, i was a fan of hes work in films, good actor. Shame RIP Dude... Quote
phil Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I can't believe this. He was on quite a meteoric rise in terms of his acting career and then he suddenly dies. I just can't even believe that this happened. God bless and R.I.P. Heath Ledger. Quote
Big Bizang Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 This is going to set back the release date of the Dark Knight isn't it? Bollocks. Isn't weird how you think you know what someone is like just by the roles they play on the screen? Damn shame. Quote
Thom Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 That's what happens when you ain't credible enough to attempt the Joker. Is that the official coroner's report? Quote
CrossFan Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 wow this sucks. I liked all of his movies(except BBM) and he was my sister's favorite actor. R.I.P. Quote
Nemo Posted January 23, 2008 Author Posted January 23, 2008 when i deleted mings replies, i figured that was him just being the usual dick he is. however, after browsing digg and nodq, ive come across a blog entry by warrior bashing heath and something about the westboro baptist church looking to protest at heath's funeral. why all the hate? even if you didnt like him, that doesnt really justify speaking ill of the dead... or crashing their funerals... Quote
Subrick Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Well, this most definantly sucks. He had so much going for him. I liked all his movies (even Brokeback Mountain, it's a good movie but it's gay), and at least Dark Night's gonna be his last movie. Quote
Sunny Posted January 24, 2008 Posted January 24, 2008 Damn! I was shocked when I heard this on the news. His carrer was just rising and he was so fuckin' young. Why r their so many young people dying at this time period. I watched the trailer for "The Dark Knight," and I was pretty impressed. This is a damn shame. His short legacy won't be remembered by all, but I sure will. R.I.P. Heath mate R.I.P. Quote
Spectre Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Not to sound like an ass, but was Batman still in filming or in post production? RIP Quote
jitz Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 Ok I've dug and I've found. It's a little obscure but it's a real gem. Gents here's the intro to Heath Ledger's very first foray on the screen, lets all take a trip to a small island off the West Australian coast known as Circe Island. Yes, it's the intro to one of the greatest Australian tv series ever - Ship to Shore. Get that tune in your head and whistle it all day long! http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=kW7UvwPYvrI As for Heath, what an idiot. Fucking moron. There I had the guts to say it. Any replies involving personal demons and the like need not apply, I have little care for it. Quote
Aero Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 lol i'll agree, fuck the whole reasons for taking drugs shit, but he was still a decent actor and i've enjoyed the majority of his movies. also, WOooooo childrens BBC, the good old days before CBBC. Quote
