operawonderdude Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 So apparently he was found dead in a Manhattan apartment this morning. This guy was awesome, I wonder what happened.... If anyone doesn't know who this is, he's the new Joker in "The Dark Knight" and was in movies like "The Patriot" and "A Knights Tale" Argh! Quote
Dyne Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Wow. Well, hopefully it's not foul play. Though they mentioned some pills near him when they found him, according to an article I just read. Truly sad. Quote
Ramaniscence Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 He was such a badass in 10 Things I Hate About You... Quote
Neo Samus Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Wow....my day just became more shity...... I can't believe he's dead. He is/was one of my favorite actors. RIP Heath Ledger. Quote
sephfire Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 That came out of nowhere. He's not an actor I would have expected to meet such an early end. Poor guy ... Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 This definitely comes as a shock. I really enjoyed his acting, and was looking forward to this summer's Batman sequel. It'll definitely carry some macabre feelings with it when I see it now... Quote
Atomic Dog Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23095464-952,00.html Apparently Jack Nicholson was heard screaming, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" as he rammed pills down Ledger's throat. Wonder how that's going to affect the new movie. It almost certainly derails the plans for Batman Begins A Third Time. Quote
kamoh Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I'm going to start the rumor right here that he's the James Dean of our generation (River Phoenix was too damn long ago). Discuss. Quote
Fritz the Cat Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Hm. That's going to put a damper on the next Batman movie, because if someone does a bad job I generally wish I could beat them to death with a lead pipe. Damn him for taking the option from me. And pre-release, too. Yeah, but the ghost of Cesar Romero put him up to it. Quote
chrono26 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 this is sooo not cool. he's one of the best actors out there. Quote
Liontamer Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Well, that's a hell of a surprise. Well, in the coming months, we likely know more than we need to know about what happened. Quote
Atomic Dog Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, but the ghost of Cesar Romero put him up to it. Great Cesar's Ghost! Quote
Atomicfog Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Production has already been completed, fortunately. That sucks though. Quote
Maco70 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 So... is the dark knight still gonna come out as planned? Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 So... is the dark knight still gonna come out as planned? I am not certain, but I heard that production is done, so it shouldn't affect the movie. Sucks man. He was a good actor. rip sir knight looking back though, a knight's tale sucked pretty hard Quote
The Coop Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Joker- "I just kill myself! AAHHHHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAA!" Quote
Darth Lime Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 I shat bricks when I read that. He was quite the actor and I hope his family and friends are coping well. Quote
Wacky Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Obviously the real Clown Prince of Crime did not think too highly of Mr Ledger's performance. That or he was very pleased. It's hard to tell with the man. Quote
Baleshadow Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 Hm. That's going to put a damper on the next Batman movie, because if someone does a bad job I generally wish I could beat them to death with a lead pipe.Damn him for taking the option from me. And pre-release, too. Are you trying to be funny, or are you just an insensitive asshat? I'm having difficulty deciding. Rest in peace, Heath. Quote
Guy In Rubber Suit Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 At least all the scenes for the Joker have been filmed. I have no real feelings towards this other than surprise. http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23095464-952,00.htmlApparently Jack Nicholson was heard screaming, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!" as he rammed pills down Ledger's throat.
