Thorin Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yeah bit of a shock that, only saw Knights Tale a bit before Christmas. News reports I heard said they suspected accidental overdose rather than suicide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Blimey. That's a shame - especially as he has kids too. I really loved him in Brokeback Mountain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 It's A Knight's Tale...lol First Knight was Sean Connery i think. Or Richard Gere perhaps? Its a real shame about Heath Ledger. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Its definatly not suicide from what i have read (from seeing Heath in the media theres no reason i can see that he would commit suicide. Hes a rising star, everything going for him). Accidental perhaps. But dont you have to take a whopper of a dose of something like sleeping pills for it to be deadly? i'm sure heath isnt thick enough to take a whole bottle! The truth will come out i suppose, perhaps something else that was never picked up that just took him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry, I thought he was a distinctly average actor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry, I thought he was a distinctly average actor. He has proven that he can turn his hand to a lot of different roles, which is what i define as a decent actor. I think his crowning glory will be his role as the Joker. If hes as good as what i've seen in the trailors for The Dark Knight then i think he will prove you wrong. He's got a big pair of shoes to fill with Jack Nic tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry, I thought he was a distinctly average actor. He was nominated for an Oscar for Brokeback wasn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame however it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame however it happened. Indeed, but you can have a damn good quess, perhaps the word definatly was to definitive.

michael Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 The Batman movie, if it gets released, is going to run forever. ...or about 140 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 ...or about 140 minutes. No i have to agree with the other comment Micheal, they will milk the batman franchise for a very long time just like Spiderman. A tv series for the cinema!

Pete Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Apparently Batman is in Post Production - so all filming is finished I guess? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Apparently Batman is in Post Production - so all filming is finished I guess? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ Yeah was finished a while ago. If Batman wasnt already going to make enough money... this has just given people on more reason to go "heath Ledges final film"... not the great but if were going to face facts. Heaths death is gona gross it in for this film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it can take up to a week to actually die from it, it's not the nice quiet pass-away-in-your-sleep thing that people hope for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Sorry, I thought he was a distinctly average actor. He was nominated for an Oscar for Brokeback wasn't he? Tom Hanks actually wins Oscars when he's nominated and he's hardly the greatest actor of our time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
