Supposedly The Dark Knight is in post-production, so the scenes should be shot. Whether they need reshoots or additional dialogue is another thing I suppose. Sad to hear, he had a promising career and to die so young is a shame.

What a terrible waste, as everyone keeps saying. A shame "Dark Knight" will be his farewell rather than his leap to another level of stardom. The guy had real talent.

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.
Mr. Ledger, a native of Australia, won acclaim for his role as a co-star in “Brokeback Mountain”, a 2005 film. The film, based on a novel by Larry McMurtry about two cowboys who fall in love, won critical acclaim. Reviewing the film in The New York Times, the critic Stephen Holden wrote, “Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a great screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn.”

So no happy ending I take it?

How shocking to have him die at the same age as Brandon Lee... both actors having played perhaps a defining role in which the character has a similarly painted face.

Wow. I just heard this on the news and was shocked! I really enjoyed 10 Things, Knights Tale and his parts in The Patriot.
