Heath DID NOT die a tortured soul, that was made up by the press. He never married Michelle Williams, and his sister Kate Ledger confrimed that they weren't even ever engaged. The press have made a lot of stuff up about Heath and like he never liked to discuss his private life, he never bothered suing them. Terry Gilliam knows and everybody in the Parnassus shoot knows that Heath was in love wtih model Gemma Ward who stayed with him in London at times and who he also saw in New York where they both lived when he died and that's why they have never even so far as mentioned Michelle's name.

Heath DID die a tortured soul. His wife, Michelle Williams had left him and he wasnt seeing much of Matilda (his daughter).. of course, no one's saying he took his own life, but the circumstances that led to him taking the mixture of sleeping pills and anxiety pills that night are pretty traumatic.

You know, after everything I've read and heard about Brazil when you consider that the truth is usually somewhere in the middle I'm surprised at how much people don't want to give Gilliam any blame in the whole situation. At the least, he acted unprofessionally. Sure, film is an art but getting a film released and shown to people is a business. But I guess it all goes into the popular model of everybody making the producers and the studios the bad guys no matter what.

dude, why do you think it's funny to say that Terry Giliam killed Heath Ledger? He did NOT die a "tortured soul" like many idiotic TDK fanboys claim.

Its great to see Depp took it all in stride and still waits to finish Don Quixote. Thanks for shedding light on Gilliam's Right Hand of Doom and Left Hand of Chaos. I didnt realize everthing he touches turns to ashes. : )
Of course with the exception of Fear and Loathing, that is. Mescalin. Terrible stuff. Never again.

Poor Gilliam, well at least Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas wasn't a total disaster, I actually kind of liked it.
