Heath Ledger-Directed Video Debuts

Elyse Roth — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 19:36:01 +0000

The late actor Heath Ledger’s fight for fair animal treatment lives on through an animated video directed by the actor himself, according to EW.com.

The video, created for the Modest Mouse song “King Rat,” animates Ledger’s opposition to whale hunting off the coast of Australia by showing humans being hunted by whales.

Ledger and Modest Mouse lead singer Issak Brock developed the video after Ledger came to Brock with the idea in January of 2007. Brock says that the video was unfinished upon Ledger’s sudden death in Jan. of 2008, but had been eniterely planned out.

THE MASSES, a company in which Ledger was a partner, decided to finish the video in honor of him, and will release it on iTunes on Aug. 7.

Most tweeters didn’t react posivitely to the video:

Vanity Fair Publishes Heath Ledger Cover Story

Elyse Roth — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 01:26:06 +0000

Amidst all the drama surrounding the passing of Michael Jackson, Vanity Fair’s August issue remembers another tragic celebrity death: Heath Ledger. The magazine explored Ledger’s talent and ambivalence toward Hollywood in the cover story titled, “The Last of Heath.”

Peter Biskind, a contributing editor for the magazine, writes of the tough, ambiguous questions still surrounding “The Dark Knight” star’s sudden death in 2008. Among the many topics discussed in the article: how Ledger cleaned up his act by stopping his use of marijuana and alcohol on a regular basis, how his insomnia could have been a large factor in his death, his failed relationship with actress Michelle Williams, his love for his daughter Matilda, his devotion to acting and his lackluster attitude toward being a celebrity.

Twitterers are still sad about Ledger’s death, yet excited for the article:

anaszev I just read the last Vanity Fair with Heath Ledger. Besides gergeous, he was an excellent actor. The fans, as the family, miss him.

cassiechurcher RT: @PaulaJoye: Heath Ledger’s last days by Vanity Fair. Beautifully written. Beautiful man. Such a damn waste. http://bit.ly/yReWr

marniemarr heath ledger is on the cover of the august vanity fair. i need it.

Heath Ledger’s Last Film Debuts at Cannes

Will DuPree — Mon, 25 May 2009 00:43:54 +0000

The Cannes Film Festival officially wrapped up with Austria’s The White Ribbon receiving the Palme d’Or award but everyone’s talking about something else: “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”–the film Heath Ledger was making before his tragic death.

The film, directed by Terry Gilliam, was screened for the first time as part of the festival. According to E! Online, Ledger “plays a snake-oil salesman type who is found hanging from a London bridge by two members of a traveling theater troupe. The group introduces Ledger to a magic portal that allows him to travel to different fantastical worlds that exist within people’s imaginations.”

Because Ledger died before the film’s completion, the director asked Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell to fulfill Ledger’s rolle, as he makes his way through the portal worlds.

Several Twitter users reacted to the peremiere:

PhillyGG Heath Ledger’s final role, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” premiered today at Cannes. *sad*

TJF_again Seen “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” with Heath Ledger; his last film he worked on. Good movie. See it soon in US Theaters, : )

lewisalee I want to see The Imaginarium of Doctor Panassus! RIP Heath Ledger

ToniFergie wants to watch The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus – Heath Ledger’s last film.

DizzyIrisImages Watched the clips for Heath Ledger’s last film.The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Not quite sure yet, he was an amazing Joker.

digireview Director Terry Gilliam says he would never have completed The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus without Heath Ledger.

A lot of people are still tweeting about Ledger’s Oscar-winning role as the Joker in “The Dark Knight”:

MyAngelGirlie I’m watching The Dark Knight. Brilliant movie…Heath Ledger is incredible! Love it! I’m juicing now; another great benefit I love!

IrisCook Thinking about Heath Ledger. R.I.P. It’s so sad to know that I’m never gonna see him in a new movie. I miss him alot!

vanibaby9 Ahhh… my neighbor and I have just finished to watch ‘batman – the dark knight’ (: GREAT MOVIE! I love Heath Ledger *__* =/

“The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” does not yet have a U.S. release date, but is scheduled to open in European theaters this fall.
