RIP Heath.
I still can't believe it.
They can help kids by warning them about the dangers in doing drugs.
.
Instead o covering up what hapened, they should have used this tragedy to warn others and show how showbiz exploits those young actors and controls them by drugs.
uuu i can't wait! love u heath!
R.I.P Heath. Great actor. So young. So sad. : (
Have Michelle and Matilda received any of Heath's money from his greedy family?

he was the most amazing versatile actor i've even seen. God Rest his soul.
I've seen some of the previews. He was genius in the role of the Joker! Its still a shame about his death…RIP HEATH!
HeLl yeah. I'm gonna see this thing it is some damn good shit
not to knock the late ledger in the least… but didn't the original joker come about as an older man who had fallen into a vat of chemicals?? how is this batman justifying ledger playing a young joker?? I won't see this movie due to it's complete MISS on the original coming of the joker, nor do I care to see the work of the late heath… it creeps me out to see the work of someone that has passed, especially when someone has passed so tragically!!
Can't wait to see it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To his family and may his last piece of work be his best.
Re: nolla – Health was probably very sexually versatile in the bedroom too.
He could play broke back mountain with a convincing edge for a reason.
There's no way I could see this. Knowing that this role led to his suicide, it was different with the Crow in 1994. That was an accident. But he looks too disturbing here.
RIP Heath. amazing actor, and great makeup there.
RIP Heath. The silver screen's awfully lonely without your mug lighting it up.
I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the first actor to win an oscar while being deceased.
What a waste of talent… so sad. My blessings.
I can't wait to see it although it's gonna be weird. RIP Heath, you are dearly missed.
awww…sweet. i saw the preview for dark knight before indiana jones the other day and i have to say…it was a little morbid. i just don't know if i can sit through the whole thing without crying–knowing that one of my fave actors of all time will never premiere a movie again. sad. rip.
really no disrespect meant, but this heath fellow was/is no legend…it takes years to reach such proportions, accept him for all that he was, a promising young actor for his time, and for his time, there is no talent in hollywood, which makes him look all the better, HOWEVER.. .he was no pacino or deNiro realm of talent at the time of his death, not even in the ball-park…NOT EVEN! that said, still celebrate all that he was and did.
Get ready, heath as joker is going to blow your fucking minds, i cant wait for pre reviews, let alone first weekend BO results………! itrs going to be crazy……gold tight
aww i miss him i cannot wait until the movie comes out
when does the movie come out?
jadest,
lol have you been under a rock? The new Batman movie titled "The Dark Knight" is a sequel to Batman Begins. Batman Begins (and this new series) is a complete restart to the Batman franchise, erasing all the movies that came before it. This new series by Christopher Nolan finally does Batman justice in terms of its characterization.
It's not a "miss" at all because as far as this series is concerned, none of the other Batman movies ever existed.
It's a horrible thing to say you hope his family has to pay full price. Heath Ledger was a wonderful actor, he was still developing all of his skills and, plus, he was so adorable!!! He would've been the next Johnny Depp, and anyone who says it wasn't a tragedy and he wasn't a good actor needs to just go to hell.
I'm still saddened by his death. He was a VERY talented actor, and I hope his last movie role receives all the accolades he deserved. May he rest in peace…
Re: Duff – Re: Duff – 1976, Peter Finch won an oscar while he was still dead and rotting. His movie was Network. He is still dead and doesn't know he won.
Whoever came up with that face even if someone else in a film did makeup for a cast of thousands this person has to won an oscar. SCARY. REALLY SCARY you know he came to the set stoned out of his mind. Everyone knew even the caterers that he waas F U C K E D U P and based on this character and talk of his perfprmance I think everybody wants to see this and it will have HUGE opening numbers Talk aboit getting into character it killed him. This will be a scary performance. It will make Jack Nicholson Joker look comforting
Re: jadest –
nope that was the 89 movie this joker is closer to the comics with him and batman allmost being the same age. There is also a theroy that the joker is gay and insanely in love with batman so he tourters him just to be close to him.
heath = good
olsen twin = looks like she got off the hook for that one!
why wasnt she questioned by the police ?
i cant stand the olsen twins .
such a great actor and so beautiful. what a shame.
I won't watch this movie. Can't take the sadness from Heath Ledger's death. Wouldn't want to see someone like him who is not here anymore…such a sensitive human being….awww…F the music and film industry….that is what killed him.
Re: Saleha –
What killed him was his own excesses.
You are what you eat.
he really has been on of Australia's best talents so far.
i should know, i am Aussie!
he really has been one of Australia's best talents yet
Re: ash ma – Re: good – Re: candac –
so so true - how MK got away with the silent thing there. She should so be made to tell what went on.
Totally can't wait for the movie tho
i cant wait to see this film but knowing it was his last and that he is gone is gunna make it really sad to watch:( I think his family going along to the premier is a nice touching tribute to him and i hope they enjoy watching him in whats gunna be an amazing movie!!!
i hope he gets an Oscar, he deserves it for being such a great and talented actor…RIP Heathxxx
It is going to be diffcult to watch knowing he is no longer with us. But I always did love his work. I can't believe how I mourned and miss someone I never knew. R.I.P.
This isn't his last film. The last film is The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Re: Manhat verbally masturbated.. –
Settle down Beavis.
Re: Cosmo Health was probably very sexually versatile in the bedroom too. –
I love it when people project their fantasies onto other people.
He was all about the beef curtains man. Michelle Williams is SMOKING hot. I've always thought that since day one. So yeah, he's a good actor. And that's pretty much where that fantasy stops.
Re: nsh1212 There is also a theroy that the joker is gay and insanely in love with batman so he tourters him just to be close to him –
Maybe in closeted homosexual fantasy dress up circles. But nothing that has to do with any reality here. That's a far stretch. Now, let the flaming begin.
we know that The Imaginarium of Dr.Parnassus will be the last film he is in but The Dark Knight will be the last film he completed and stars in fully, he only filmed for a few months on Dr.P before he died.
Everybody has forgotten him already.
NEXT!

DID THE WRITERS OF THE MOVIE COPY OFF OF ANNA NICOLE SMITHS DRUNKEN STUPOR WHERE SHE DREW WITH LIPSTICK ALL OVER HER FACE? BET THEY DID..
Heath will win best supporting actor at next year's Golden Globes and Oscars, more out of sympathy than performance but he will win it nonetheless.
Re: COPYCA –
That would have been funny had it been in lower case. Seriously.
Re: Cunt Heath will win best supporting actor at next year's Golden Globes and Oscars, more out of sympathy than performance –
Said someone that has yet to see the movie… that's very presumptuous of you.
Re: swandi –
Heath didn't commit suicide, he accidentally overdosed.
KevinK,
Don't waste your breath. THey're all tools.
I cannot wait to see this movie. His performance will be legendarily terrifying.
Rest In Peace, Heath Ledger.
tHIS SHIT gives me Chills and makes me want to cry a little…
a great soul was lost. but this movie will be very good.
:(
He was amazing!!:(
I haven´t seen the movie just trailer but It looks like he was incredible LIKE ALWAYS!!! RIP
I miss him I´m sad he was too young!
he was an AMAZING ACTOR!! I know that movie is great, I loved all his movies. RIP
I read that this movie really messed with his head he had trouble sleepping.. I don´t know what happened but seems that the movie was the cause.. sad
I will always miss him in the movies. Actors with his talent and charisma on screen are so few and far between. What a great loss.
I have heard a lot of positve buzz about this film from as far back as Feb. I too hope that Heath gets an Oscar if not at least a nod. Michelle Williams in my opinion is extremely classy in vast comparison to all the trash that we call actresses out there (can anyone say Brittany Murphy Ashlee Simpson and her do nothing sis) and I love Brokeback Mountain it is beautiful and sad. Sad that Heath passed away no telling what he could have done with his career.
omfg he looks so scary
Re: john – Well said and I agree totally.
I still can't believe he's gone…..
Can't wait for the movie though…
R.I.P. , such an amazing actor:) GO GIRLS
VOTE HILARY
SUPER HILARY wins it with the SUPER DELAGATES ! SHE"S the HOT TICKET to WIN for Democrats!!
VOTE HILARY !!!
Sucks to be his parents. Looks like their about to be creeped the fuck out when they see this film. He looks terrifying.
Re: carol KevinK, Don't waste your breath. THey're all tools. –
Not all of them. But obviously a lot of kids get on here thinking "I can say really rude and obnoxious things that would normally get my ass beat on the internet because I am hiding behind a keyboard!!1"
Then these people end up growing up. Or not.
Re: Barbie GO GIRLS VOTE HILARY SUPER HILARY wins it with the SUPER DELAGATES ! SHE"S the HOT TICKET to WIN for Democrats!! VOTE HILARY !!! –
#1 Hillary has already lost it. Wake up. #2 WTF is this doing in this thread? Stop being a spam ho.
It really suck to know that Heath is no longer around.
I was so depressed when the sudden tragedy broke out.
But thank god for Michelle Williams & the beautiful
Matilda Rose Ledger; he left his footprints in them &
not to be forgotten, his very last movie, The Dark Knight.
*sobs*
Re: O –
Shut the fuck up you sicko!!! Burn in hell bitch!!!
Talking straight too YOU #70
I wonder how much Hollywood paid the family to show up? Let's face it, sounds like a publicity stunt on the film makers part.
