Newsflash

  • Heath Ledger and Sean Penn are in talks to star in a top-secret drama by writer-director Terrence Malick, the man behind Badlands and The Thin Red Line. Ledger would play a lead role opposite an actress, yet to be cast, with Penn taking a supporting role. Details of the plot have not been revealed - often the case with Malick's films - but an insider told the Hollywood Reporter it was a "complex drama". Filming is set to begin in March.
  • Tree Of Life’s journey has been long and arduous. Like a third grade game of Oregon Trail, the script’s voyage has been chock-full of deserting actors, money shortages, and lots and lots of dead oxen. A few years ago, Colin Farrell was in talks to play the principle protagonist, but after a month long shooting schedule in India was announced, the well-endowed actor cut bait. Rumors once again began recirculating yesterday, and Farrell is nowhere to be found.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, both Sean Penn and Heath Ledger are amidst negotiations to take up the supporting and staring roles respectively. The general plotline follows, well, no one really knows what the Terrence Malick script is about. I’m guessing it’s not a sequel to Fast Times At Ridgemont High or Lords Of Dogtown. Maybe someday. Production is set to begin in March; so, expect to be seeing this during the Summer of ‘09 or slightly sooner.

I wish I got a chance to met you, and make you laugh so the thought of you being alone that night lying in bed with pills would have never crossed your mind. I know one day I will get the chance to see you but I wish you were still here on this planet with your family and friends and your little girl who will never get to have her daddy by her side again! I miss you even though we never met and wish you peace as you are laid to rest! love you always old soul! :cry

when i found out, i was devastated and i could'nt beleive it. i thoguht it was all a joke, but when i went to school the following day, people were taking, and some were joking, but i was dead serious in a depressive state. i went home at lunch and did not return for the afternoon classes. my parents arrived home earlier then usualy, hearing from the principal i was'nt present. i cried for hours and hours while the day passed me by. i miss him "like the sun misses the flower in winter"
i love you, heath.

I as well cannot understand why this has effected me so much. I have been so melancholy, and sad since I heard. Heath was not just a tremendously honest actor, he was a genuine person almost unreal. I guess that is where I find some solice in this whole thing. Maybe God needed him more than we do. I haven't quite fit around the idea that we won't be able to see him grow even further, but I will promise to cherish every piece of art he has done, and look forward to his upcoming pieces. One good thing I am taking from this is that life is clearly a gift, and I am going to pursue my dreams as passionately as Heath did. Good bye sweet prince, and god bless you and your family. I know Matilda will be very priud of you, and that she has a guardian angel watching over her.

Such a shame to lose such a spectacular actor. Way too young to go. My heart goes out to Heath's family, Michelle and Matilda.

Most fans did not meet Heath in real life, but through his movies and interviews he became a friend.

The song of Bob Dylan, He Was A Friend of Mine is such a fitting tribute to Heath. I changed the words to fit what we all are feeling right now. Willie Nelson sang this song at the end credits of Brokeback Mountain.

HEATH LEDGER

He was a ?friend? of mine
He was a ?friend? of mine
Every time I think about him now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a ?friend? of mine

He died all alone
He died all alone
Although he had enough money
To pay his room or board
And he was a ?friend? of mine

I stole away and cried
I stole away and cried
'Cause I never had too much money
And I never met him for real
But he was a ?friend? of mine

He never harmed no one
He never harmed no one
A thousand miles from home
And he never reaped what he sowed
And he was a ?friend? of mine

He was a ?friend? of mine
He was a ?friend? of mine
Every time I hear his name now
Lord I just can't keep from cryin'
'Cause he was a FRIEND of mine.

Heath Ledger RIP, 22 January 2008

I?m still shocked about his death and i cannot believe it. I always remember this one scene in "10 things i hate about you" in which he sing " I love you baaaaaby......! He was so full of energy and high spirited. The glow in his eyes and his laughing. I never met him, but his death touched me like princess diana?s. He was too young. The best wishes to his family and his friends. I hope they ?ll come over this tragic loss.
