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'd like to say how shocked & sorry I was (and still am) to hear of the tragic death of Heath Ledger.

It is a shame that such a bright light should dim so prematurely. Unfortunately, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting him but I saw Heath Ledger as a humble, shy man of great spirit who had the most natural and unequalled talent. In my opinion he should have already been an Oscar winner but there was no doubt that there was one of those statues with his name on it.

He was one of the most talented actors ever to grace our screens and it's so tragic that his star should be taken from us so early. My thoughts are with his family and friends - especially his daughter Matilda whom he adored. Heath, you were a great man in every meaning of the word and you'll be missed greatly!

My most sincerest condolences to Heath's family and loved ones. I never met him, but loved him in his movies ever since I saw him in A Knight's Tale. It was a special treat to me to be able to catch a glimpse of the real man behind the moves in all of his interviews. He seemed like a great man. Also, it always seemed that family was most important to him and it is sad that his life ended at such a young age :(.

I?ve never I my whole life been so sad that I?m now; tears keep falling from my eyes. He was my ultimate favourite actor of all time and I?m still shocked about this tragedy. He was extremely talented and SO handsome. The words can?t describe how wonderful he was all kinds of way. I wish that we could see him smiling and laughing for even one time. He was taken way too short. Matilda will be so proud of her dad when she grow up. Heath, we will never forget you, never. You?ll be always in our hearts. WE MISS YOU VERY MUCH. Rest in peace, Heath baby.

what a gifted and talanted person such a tragic loss i was never graced with the honour of knowing heath but for some reason have felt for his daughter Matilda,family and frinds at this time.
How crule and disrespectful can some people be we have all made mistakes we have all made wrong choices but that is not who we are that is not the essence of our being and i have no doubt that heath was the beautiful, talent and fun loving person that his loved ones remember him as lets all let them greive and remember him in peace
