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 thought he committed suicide!! what a title for the article. tad morbid don’t ya think?
yea i’m not feeling the title of this post… i thought he was dead not cool not cool
my heart skipped a beat…thanks jared
OMGSH I WAS LIKE WHAT HES DEAD … then found out it was a movie :L
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.
Terry Gilliam is an amazing director. Amazing ! JJ had some real news for once !!!
Phi Delta Theta…on his head.
HOLY CRAP! That was not funny! I just watched I’m Not There, too and he was wonderful in that!
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.
I agree with number 1, effing morbid headline
You know what’s ’slightly disturbing’? The title of your bloody post. Wait, not even that is the right word. How about morbid?
ew. he’s so gross to me. he used to be so cute and all his hoing around has made him look spent and used.
did michelle williams produce?
not funny…my baby is deaD!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHA
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.
OMG. Someone needs to call the WHAMBULANCE for all the whiners here. Geez. Build a bridge and get the **** over it.
wow. that headline was way off
LOVE HIM!
all you dipshits are complaining because you thought he was dead? i saw “heath ledger is hung” on celebslam and headed straight over. imagine how disappointed i am!
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.
I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE HAD LOST FRIENDS THAT WAY—————– THAT HURT…
PLEASE - PLEASE CHANGE TITLE
gross
man i got terrified for a sec… and then the relief came - “for a movie” *sigh*
I agree with the poster who said he probably regrets losing Naomi Watts. What was he thinking of? Michelle Williams totally dragged him down to her own miserable level. Have you guys heard of the rumours that he is seeing Lily Cole, his costar in this film? I think they were seen in a nightclub here in London all over eachother a couple of weeks ago.
dude…title = not clever
I hate your title!
WTF?! HORRIBLE TITLE! Scared the hell outta me! Not funny at all.
i would kill myself, too, if i was a phi delta theta. haha.
