They've Closed The Ledger On Heath
(Cap tip to Ern)
Yet another disaster befalls a Terry Gilliam production as Heath Ledger, who was to appear in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, has died, apparently from some pharmacological cause, at the age of 28. His resume showed great range – from the modern romantic comedy 10 Things I Hate About You to the medieval romantic comedy A Knight’s Tale, to the period romantic comedy Casanova, with stints as the whiny and ill-fated Revolutionary teen in The Patriot and a whiny, suicidal wannabe correctional officer in Monster’s Ball to round it out. He also managed to get out-acted by Matt Damon on The Brothers Grimm before his break-out role and an Academy Award nomination for inertly mumbling, pretending to find Michelle Williams attractive and slapping salami with Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain. Like everyone else in I’m Not There, he played Bob Dylan, and will appear as The Joker in the upcoming The Dark Knight, where I hope they’ve wrapped post-production work.
