No, they are in post-production of the movie, so it will be his last film that he finished. The problem is, they were filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
which he had a role in. But i'm not that sure about what kind of role he had, because IMDB has taken down any information of the role he played, but I believe that he had the lead role, which is definitely not good.

HEATH LEDGER

http://imagecache2.allposters.com/im...er-Posters.jpg

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment building at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, according to the New York City police. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of Mr. Ledger’s bedroom. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger unconscious. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities. The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said pills fear found near the body.

Mr. Ledger, a native of Perth, Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a short story by Annie Proulx about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”

Mr. Ledger met the actress Michelle Williams while filming ‘’Brokeback Mountain.” The two actors fell into a very public romance. They had a daughter, Matilda Rose, who was born on Oct. 28, 2005. They moved to Brooklyn, but then separated last year.

Calls by The New York Times to Mara Buxbaum, a publicist for Mr. Ledger, and Steve Alexander, the actor’s agent, were not immediately returned this afternoon.


This shocks the hell out of me as well. Renfro I was sad to hear it, but somehow I wasn't really completely surprised when I heard. But this one....wow...yes, very, very sad.

I don't know what to say.

I'm stunned.

Despare 01-22-2008 02:49 PM

Lots of potential wasted there... sad news.

Psycom5k 01-22-2008 02:55 PM

I know, he was a great actor, and he was really just starting his career.

Holy shit... I just read that.

So shocked...

Phalanx 01-22-2008 03:30 PM

Huh...never figured him for a junkie.
Too bad, one of the few Australian actors that doesn't give the rest a bad name...
Guess at least Batman's done.

VampiricClown 01-22-2008 04:39 PM

Heard it on the radio about an hour ago. Kind of shocked. Then disappointed on the cause of death.

Vodstok 01-22-2008 04:48 PM

They havent confirmed the cause of death yet, at thsi point they are jumping to conclusions because he is young and a celebrity. it could have been a congenital birth defect for all we know. Wait until they announce and actual cause of death before getting too upset that he did drugs.


At this point, I am just sad that someone so young and talented died.
