My condolences go to his family.

It'll definitely come out.
It's already in post-production.
That's too bad, he was a great actor. :(
Batman is cursed then?
RIP.

Wait, where they finished making that movie?
Im very sad about this, he was a great actor, he played in the Patriot, Lords of Dogtown, Brokeback Mountain, and of course the new Batman Movie. He overdosed on sleeping pills i believe, took a some, they weren't working, so he took more(My guess and most logical reason).

Wait how's it cursed?
Just like Superman.
Every actor who died after or during playing as Superman around a couple years after the role.
Correct?

Where was he in the patriot?
Haven't seen that movie in forever.
It's also not cursed. Rumors like that are usually twisted to fit the purpose. Go look at Snopes.com, it'll most likely give you info on it.

Yeah, I'll admit that was way too early.
So this means no sequel to Brokeback Mountain? :(

The Dude next to Mel Gibson towards the right. In this case he played the eldest son to Mel Gibson.

Yeah cause you not seeing your precious movie ASAP is the worst part about him dying. :|
Anyways, he finished his stuff, including ADR, a long time ago.
I was trying to think whether I should try really hard to dredge up some sorrow about some rich guy I'll never meet, who I didn't know, whose movies I never watched, whose name I've only heard before in passing, etc.

I'll remember that when your parents die.
and incidentally, our choir teacher, who's favorite actor is Heath Ledger, was sick yesterday. o_O
we speculated that that was why.

For shame. I always felt that there was a severe lack of movies about gay cowboys in Hollywood.
In all seriousness, this is absolutely terrible, especially considering how young he was.
Yesterday...
He was my favorite gay cowboy...

Correct?
Heath Ledger didn't even play Batman.
He played the Joker...
Anyway, as far as I know, Brandon Routh, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale are still alive....
The only person who died was Christopher Reeve and that was 20 years later.
Yeah pretty much...
Please, I've already heard enough about his death already.
I don't get why anyone cares THAT MUCH.
It's just one death out of the hundreds of thousands of deaths that happened on the day that he died.
Not that I am not feeling sympathy for his friends and family, I am feeling sympathy, BUT WHY DO PEOPLE MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL ABOUT CELEBRITIES!?!?!?!?! THEY'RE JUST SOME RICH PEOPLE THAT HAD MAJOR ROLES IN BIG MOVIES, BIG WHOOP. THEY'RE JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE DOING THEIR JOB.
Sorry, but I have a big peeve for the media's obsession over the celebrities.

This is the only thread on this board and was made shortly after his death...
I was only trying to inform the people that didn't know.
Another person in the world is dead, who cares?
RIP Heath Ledger...

Except, Heath was a healthy man. He was a good person, and a good actor. He died, while other Hollywood stars are busy getting arrested and destroying their heath. People actually looked forward to his work, plus he has a daughter. Excuse me for caring.

Will you say that when every person close to you dies?
