At the beginning I also thought it was a joke. The ironic part is this tragic event will indeed be the best campaign for the upcoming Batman. Anyway, sad news.
He was a smart actor among those of his generation, he chose role very carefully. His career seemed to have taken the right direction, especially after his last movies. RIP Heath Ledger.
Very sad circumstances for Terry Gilliam, too. Ledger was supposed to be the key character in his next movie. What will happen now? So many troubles during his productions: Munchausen - at least finished, Don Quixote, now this one... Gilliam is one unlucky director
