I made my comments earlier about his passing in the other thread, it's a shame that he was gone so soon.
However, I wasn't sure whether or not to make a thread about this or not, but I am worried about how this will affect the Dark Knight movies, I know that's selfish of me but I was just curious how people would deal with this since it will be a problem in the near future, would you wirte the Joker out of the movies or recast him in the next movie? Also, I don't think that WB would pull this movie or postpone it, but if anything regarding Ledger's death was due to anything he did to get ready for his role, if any legal precautions might take place either by the family, the studio or the actor's union.

This was reported at IMDB.com:
Nicholson Warned Ledger About Joker Role
Jack Nicholson has hinted he warned tragic Heath Ledger against taking on the role of The Joker in the new Batman film. Ledger, 28 - who was declared dead at 3:30pm at his Manhattan apartment on Tuesday - publicly declared himself exhausted and sleep deprived in November following the grueling shoot for The Dark Knight. He also revealed in an interview with the New York Times he'd resorted to taking sleeping pills - an overdose of which is believed to be the cause of his death - in a desperate bid to catch up on rest. And Nicholson, who famously portrayed the menacing Joker in Tim Burton's 1989 movie Batman, implied to the waiting crowd outside plush London restaurant The Wolesley on Tuesday night he spoke to Ledger about his role in The Dark Knight - and warned him about the pitfalls of taking on such a demanding challenge. When asked by the London crowds for his reaction to Ledger's untimely demise, a defeated Nicholson simply replied, "I told him so." Batman Begins prequel The Dark Knight is due to be released in July.
I Told Him SO.
Is that all he said! How do you get playing the Joker is dangerous role out of those 3 and a half words?
smurf the media!
Maybe someone should go and check on Cesar Romero's corpse to see how he really died and see if Mark Hamill is OK.

Yeah, I love how the media is trying to turn the Joker role into some crazy curse, much like they did with Superman around the time of Reeve's accident.
Yet, last I checked, the only thing dead about Dean Cain was his career.

did you see this idiot chruch group plans to protest his funeral! If you're talking about Fred Phelps...then I'm not suprised, they do that to a bunch of people. In fact I doubt they'd get far, so lets just ignore it for now that way nothing gets opened up and this doesn't get locked.

Off Topic a bit, but apparently, if you go to Google Translate, and enter "Heath Ledger", and translate it to Spanish, is translates to "Tom Cruise". I wonder how the Spanish are reacting to this...

Easy, folks. Time to simmah. Everyone take their corner. This isn't the place for it.
OK - I cleaned up this last page - but I'm only doing it once. The next time, the thread gets locked and the hammer comes down.
Continue.
