This means just like BRANDON LEE, this will absolutely draw the morbid , curious factor into the BATMAN MOVIE.

So will my daughter. She really liked him in A Knight's Tale.

All the jokes about the gay cowboy movie aside, he was a very talented young actor. Such a waste. Prayers for his little girl.

I am truly stunned and very sad. This man had a ton of potential as an actor.

Jesus, there are some cold people in here. Yeah he was in Brokeback Mountain, but that didn’t make him gay or a freak. I give him credit for playing a tough role which garnered him an oscar nomination. He also has been in a number of other quality movies....including The Patriot, A Knight’s Tale, the new batman movie which loves absolutely great.

People need to stop making smartass cracks. The man is dead at 29 for godsake. Prayers for him and his family.

Housekeeper found him dead when she entered his room to tell him his masseuse was there for his scheduled appointment. Per NYPD.

“Knight’s Tale” was very good.

It’s too bad that when I saw the name, my mind immediately went “there”.

Rumor has it that Ledger kicks ass as the Joker. I've always thought that Terrence Howard would be perfect for the role, because on the screen he has this brooding, dark demeanor.

I don't know if the movie is finished or not, but I wonder if they're going to do the stunt-double thingy like they did with Brandon Lee on "Crow."

Yeah, the film is in post-production. This will have little effect unless they needed to do some serious re-shoots. Otherwise, they’ll probably have to make due with the same situation that afflicted The Crow when Brandon Lee was killed on set.

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 and said they found pills near body.

See my tagline—— at least you won’t catch what they have.
