The New York Times:
He seemed like such an awesome guy.
The song "Man on the Moon" by REM is about Andy Kaufmann. Hence the title of the movie.
Now, why the song was called that? Mainly so it sounds pretty.
Apparently James Dean was one of his main influences, according to the article Rufus linked (which coincidentally is the one I was talking about). RIP man.
This day just can't get any worse.
What would we find in the suicide note? "Goddamnit, Batman always wins!"
EDIT: They're talking about it on CNN Headline now.
ugh...
My week is ruined.
Why so serious?
Like I said, I think it's the pressure/depression of his divorce, along with possible drug problems.
Waiting for Nolan, Bale, etc. to make statements.
stop that.
Dude.
Oh shit, this is exactly what the Joker would find funny
I might be crazy, but it seems like he might still be alive.
I keep hoping its gonna turn out that they've mistake some guy for Heath Ledger, but by now his publicist would've relayed such info to the important people.
Assuming that Joker survives this film nad leads into a third, they would have to replace him but, as against him as I was at the start, he looked and sounded the part. I can't imagine anyone else pulling it off with the same character.
Denial. It really sucks but it would be in such poor taste to fake his death that it isn't even a possibility.
That would be sweet though, if it was like the most twisted viral marketing campaign ever conceived. I mean it's not, obviously, but still. The Joker doesn't know the meaning of poor taste!
i'm pretty sure the joker doesnt live his life a quarter mile at a time
and while I agreed, all I could think was God please don't say 'commissioner'...
I think he was tentatively spotted in some of those parking garage production photos with all the batmans etc.
Edit: IMDB agrees.
It would seem kind of unlikely, seeing as all the major news networks are involved, but its not impossible. Would it be illegal, i've seen movies based on fake deaths of some celebrities like pauly shore and carrot top...
Again, highly unlikely, but I'm hoping.
Batman looked great and I liked most of his other stuff too.

He'll be missed.
Well, good morning. Welcome to the new scenario. What should we do today?
I was already having a shitty, 19 hour workday, and I come home to this.
Fuck.
The best Joker to appear nevermore.

For this to happen, they'd have to hire a new Joker. And the only person that LOOKS like Ledger is Joseph Gordon-Levitt, seen here:
Apparently he also has acting chops, as The Lookout was very well reviewed. (He's also the kid from Angels in the Outfield).
I just wanted to point him out since I know we're all thinking "What will happen to the franchise?" at this point.

are we certain they finished shooting TDK?
Yes, it's marked as post-production.
Yep.

thank you.
and yes, 3rd rock from the sun, and also Brick which I enjoyed though I know some people here strongly didn't.
See Brick, and you will forget all about that.
Also, AICN is reporting that he was 100% done with Dark Knight. Terry Gilliam's movie is still up in the air.
