What a strange, strange passing. Details about this will arise in the next day or so. He was a young actor who I thought actually had the goods. Ledger was 28. Very shocking and sad news.
Here is the New York Times and Gothamist.

If there ever was a time when the film world was in a total state of flux it would be now. With a writer’s strike still looming everyone needs a new slate and fast. Sundance starts today and it should be interesting to see what studios will want to push out to its audiences this year. Safe is in and has been for a while which doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that we will be seeing a big push of daring new independent films this year but you never know. Damn I miss them! It seems that smaller films that were bought up last year and expected to break out just didn’t. There is definitely a Little Miss Sunshine vibe in the air I’m sure. There will much press and analysis of the festival in the next week so check this little tidbit out before the floodgates are opened. Remember, nobody knows nothing [or anything depending on how grammatically correct you want to get.]
Also, starting tomorrow you can watch festival shorts for free from the Sundance site.
