What a drag, and what a senseless loss.

Wow.

Well, if it was accidental overdose we finally get someone of a young actorly persuasion to replace River Phoenix as the go to person for great talent snuffed out early.

It is sad that my first thought was "did he finish Batman"? Of course, now the hype will be to incredibly great when it gets ready to release.

Um, yeah, Batman was my first thought, too.


Perhaps that's cold. I dunno.

Apparently, he finished Batman. And, I'm thinking they can't reshoot it without him. My guess is that it's going ahead as planned.

Someone said it was in post production, at this point that had to be finished as far as the actors.

Its the one he was working on now that I think he'll need to be replaced in they are going to persue it.

I'm sure with today's technologies they could fix anything he didn't film or needed to be reshot for Batman with ease. They did it with Brandon Lee on the Crow. But, I think it's all in the can...

You'd think Hollywood would start to shy away from druggie actors as they carry a serious financial risk (case in point: being mid-production and having to go back and re-shoot half a film with a new actor).

But I suppose their headline-grabbing druggie antics make up for the risk in terms of publicity.

Sad.

Damn... Heath was cute too :(

I'm wondering if they start out okay and then turn into druggies. Apparently, drugs are easier to get once you're "in".

Well, he's certainly in the can.

Easier to get/harder to avoid.
