Heath Ledger Dead

[The Germanator]

Pretty crazy. Had a kid with Michelle Williams and everything. So goes the life.

In the realm of selfishly morbid good news, his filming for The Dark Knight was completed.

Wow, I feel like a jerk for being happy about that. I shouldn't, seeing as it would have been a double shame if his last full project was never completed due to his death. From the looks of it, he should get plenty of port-mortem praise for his role as The Joker.

Seriously, it's probably going to be one of the darkest films ever - the dark acting overtones of Christian Bale (The Machinist, American Psycho) the darker directing talent of Christopher Nolan (The Prestige), AND the "The Crow"-like feeling of watching the recently deceased Ledger.

"Haunting from the grave" just got a new context.
