This is a story I found on the internet today and I read it. It clearly states that it's a mostly invented story by a writer and not everything is fact, as you will notice. I just thought I should share this with you. Final Days and Death of Heath Ledger

1-10-10)Greetings again from the darkness. Mention to me that Terry Gilliam has the death of Heath Ledger. A very imaginative tweak to the script allows Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Collin Farrell to sub in so the film a fascinating world and has some touches of Mr. Gilliam’s Monty Python

My Small Tribute and A Funny Coincidence

On a side note: I was watching an episode of the short lived Judd Apatow show "Undeclared" last night, and there was a pretty hilarious Heath Ledger joke in there (don't worry, no razzing his death since it was filmed while he was still with us). It's HERE at around 6:58 in the video :D

There’s also a not-so-hot snap of Geoffrey Rush over at the Mail, as well as another look at Carter. Chris Smith’s Black Death has had it’s UK release postponed until May 28th. All the better for a London Frightfest premiere, I suppose.

We saw The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus this morning and it just wasn't very good.

made sure all the pieces truly fit together. I know there will be hipster cool people who worship the oddity of Terry Gilliam and the last performance of Heath Ledger who will say "you just didn't get it," but the truth is, neither will they. They'll just be pretending they got it to look smug ...

Craziness for the Crazies

Admittedly, Ledger’s death during filming had something to do with muddling his character. This is one reason it would be an error to compare this performance to The Joker in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight.” Ledger never got to film Tony’s trips through the looking glass, where his c...
