Heath Ledger Hangs Himself

…for a movie!

Heath Ledger was spotted shooting scenes for his upcoming fantasy film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus in London Monday night.

In this scene, Heath was seen hanging from London’s Lambeth Bridge and was rescued by costar Andrew Garfield.

According to Film Ick, an early version of the script reveals several characters: a dwarf named Percy, a clowning, sleight-of-hand expert named Anton, a beautiful young woman named Valentina and her father Dr. Parnassus, who are all entertainers in a traveling theatre. Check out more about the movie’s plot at Wikipedia.

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is being directed by Terry Gilliam (The Brothers Grimm, 12 Monkeys) and is set for a 2009 release.

I know Heath adores Terry Gilliam, but I am not understanding why he decides to do these strange, depressing movie characters. He plays a hard core drug addict…very convincingly, in CANDY, he does this gruesome, scarey, psycho version of the Joker in TDK, and now he is hanging himself in a Terry Gilliam movie. And BTW: The Brothers Grimm was terrible shite! Heath, Matt Damon, Lena Heady and Monica Bellucci could have done way better. Heath might really like Terry, but maybe Terry is not good for Heath. I saw I’m Not There and Heath can be extremely gorgeous, hot and sexy…when he wants to be. And he’s a good actor. Really good. Why doesn’t he clean himself up and make some fun movies. I bet he could do a fine job with a romantic comedy. And he should find some better clothes. And bathe. And wash his hair. He needs a minder. He never looked so bad when he was with Naomi Watts. Maybe he is sorry he broke up with her. Too late, buddy. Too late.

JustJared-usually you have more class!!!! This is a completely inappropriate title! Tasteless and tacky!!! Please consider changing it?? Very morbid considering the high number of people who do commit suicide over the holiday season. What a downer….

He can be very good looking if he wants to, but most of the time he doesn’t.

THAT HEADLINE WAS AWFUL. I have a son who killed himself and several friends who have lost relatives or friends to suicide. Seeing that headline made me revisit my and their pain without warning. NOT FUNNY NOT FUNNY NOT FUNNY.

I’ve got to admit it, that’s a horrible headline…. Sorry JJ !! I really thought the guy had committed suicide !!

I think you should rename this JJ, it is very upsetting for his fans. I was wondering what this was about. The scene looks so morbid. But if this is who Heath wanted to work with, Terry Gilliam, then that is his choice. Right now I am so psyched to see TDK I am not worrying right now what Heath is working on.
