Heath Ledger's Final Film
It's here! The official full-length trailer for Heath Ledger's last film - The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. I wasn't too sure about it before but after watching, I'm definitely going to see this one. I really think it was fantastic of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to step in and help director Terry Gilliam to get this movie completed! It will have a limited release on December 25th.
What do you think? I'm guessing this will do very well at the box office. It feels bittersweet.

First Look: Heath Ledger's The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus
Aw. This is a bit sad isn't it? Heath Ledger's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus trailer has finally come out. Remember Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell each stepped in and completed the film after Heath passed away.

Johnny Depp Names Beach After Heath Ledger
I guess Heath Ledger's death is still very shocking to me because when I read that Johnny Depp named a beach after the actor, I got goosebumps.
The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' actor owns a private island - called Little Hall's Pond Cay - in the Bahamas and has paid tribute to the late Hollywood star by naming a stretch of sand Heath’s Place.
The ‘Dark Knight’ actor died aged just 28 of an accidental prescription drugs overdose in January 2008.
Depp was a close friend of Ledger’s and stepped in to help finish his final movie 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus', after Ledger died part-way through filming.
Depp has also named a beach on the 45-acre idyllic island after his partner Vanessa Paradis and their two children - 10-year-old daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack, seven.

10 Things I Hate About You Coming To The Small Screen
10 Things I Hate About You is such a good, classic chick flick! I mean, seriously, who doesn't get a little misty eyed when Julia Stiles chokes up reading her poem in class? Well, ABC wants to take advantage of the success that the storyline had as a movie and bring it to the small screen.
The movie's director of "10 Things",
Gil Junger, will also shoot the pilot, which is written and executive
produced by Carter Covington. The series will focus more on sisters
Kate and Bianca Stratford in facing their new high school environment.
"10 Things" is based on the Heath Ledger romantic comedy film which was
also starred by Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film itself
was based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew."
Go here for a Heath Ledger flashback from the original film...I almost started crying watching this.
No Money For Matilda
It's bad enough that she has to grow up without her daddy but now the insurance company won't pay out the life insurance policy to Matilda that Heath Ledger had taken out prior to his death because they say they believe he may have committed suicide.
The firm, which is owned by ING Americas, wrote the policy in June
2007, and the insurance money was due to be paid out to an unnamed
trustee who would hold the money until two-year-old Matilda comes of
age.But they have so far failed to honour the document and have
launched their own probe into Ledger's death to establish if he
committed suicide, therefore voiding the policy.
The policy is worth $10 million dollars and Matilda's trustee has filed suit against the insurance company. But, it's an uphill battle. The company also claims that Heath lied about saying he was not taking prescription drugs on the application.
The greed of insurance companies is disgusting but fortunately Matilda is too young to know what's going on.
But, in better news, Heath's family has gifted his entire $16.6 million dollar estate to Matilda, so she won't be hurting for cash.
Ledger's SoHo Apartment For Rent
It seems the time has come. Heath Ledger's final dwelling place appears to be on the NYC rental market. The asking rent for his former apartment on Broome St. in Manhattan's SoHo is a whopping $26,000 per month. Seems Mr. Ledger was paying a mere $22,000 per month.
Though the building does not have a doorman (there's an intercom and locked elevator), the space does have "three bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms, an office, a laundry room, a gourmet kitchen and an 80-square-foot balcony. Also featured are 15-foot tin ceilings, exposed brick walls and a wood-burning fireplace."
Here's the listing at Corcoran.
