Heath Ledger: His Last Costar Reflects
Christopher Plummer talks to EW.com about the loss of his castmate from their yet-to-be-completed Terry Gilliam film ''The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus''

By Steve Daly

Last week in London, Heath Ledger was busy wrapping up nearly six weeks of long days and nights he'd spent at often-frigid outdoor locations, filming scenes for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. But with Ledger's death on Tuesday in New York, the movie has become a reported $30 million question mark, since there were additional weeks of studio-soundstage filming yet to be done in Vancouver.

Imaginarium is a fantasy tale, co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam, a filmmaker known for his outlandish visual invention (he previously worked with Ledger on 2005's The Brothers Grimm). Christopher Plummer, who's now 78, plays the title character, an eccentric theatrical trouper trapped in a deal with the devil (Tom Waits) that dooms Parnassus's lovely daughter, Valentina (played by British-born model Lily Cole). Ledger was playing Tony, a roguish charlatan who gets mixed up with the troupe and begins a series of through-the-magic-mirror adventures to a strange parallel universe.

Early on Sunday, Jan. 20, Plummer boarded a plane back to New York and went on to his Connecticut home. Ledger took a different London-to-New-York flight and repaired to a SoHo apartment where, two days later, he was found dead. EW spoke with Ledger's final costar about what happened, what the filming was like, and what may or may not become of the last scenes Ledger ever performed.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: It seems incomprehensible.
CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER: We're all a bit befuddled at the moment. It's so sad. Heath did have a terrible, lingering bug in London, and he couldn't sleep at all. We all — I thought he'd probably got walking pneumonia, which they seem to think he had. Of course I don't really know, but that's the latest.

Where had you been working?
In and around London. Lots of sinister-looking, horrible locations. Places like Battersea Power Station, where the interior's all open, with huge hanging girders. The light comes in and creates this sort of vast, horrible Valpurgis Night. It's a very sinister building, and it's used sometimes for films. They shot some of [the new] Batman film in there. It's a designated building, protected, so they can't tear it down. It's just standing there gaping at everybody. Very effective. The last few days we were shooting outside a pub. Always outside. Cold as bejesus. You know how damp it gets in London. And at night the temperature drops horribly, and that little breeze gets up. You have to wear tons of stuff.

How much is left undone on the film?
Oh, there's an enormous amount left to do. This is why we were going to Vancouver. All the technical stuff, the green-screen, was to be done in Vancouver. God knows what's going to happen now.

Heath Ledger: Star in Distress

BELINDA LUSCOMBE




Even with his big face and chiseled jaw, Heath Ledger was one of those guys who blended in easily. In November 2005, waiting for me outside a pub, as he would have called it, he looked like any other scruffy Brooklyn local. He was then a little bleary-eyed from being a new father, but also a little wary of the press from being a heartthrob. We were meeting to discuss what would be his Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain. We went to a local cafe. He didn't eat.

He was what we call in Australia a bloke, a guy who could rough it and wasn’t given much to talking. But his masculinity framed an urgent sensitivity: He had his mom's, sister's and two half-sisters' first initials tattooed in Gothic letters on his wrist. He gave off the air of being willing to punch someone, but only if it would mask his own pain. Because of this combination of machismo and sensitivity, like a more handsome Russell Crowe, he was in demand. He just wasn’t sure that he wanted to be. "Heath," a studio boss once told me, "needs to decide who he really wants to be."

He won't have to, now that he has been found dead in an Manhattan apartment, at the unbearably young age of 28. (An autopsy on Wednesday proved inconclusive and a medical examiner may take at least 10 days to come up with a cause of death.) It's tempting to look for signs of a melancholy temperament in our brief meeting, an interview for a story in TIME. But mostly what he gave off was dissatisfaction.

Ledger was very serious about his work, trying to forge a path like that of Sean Penn or Jack Nicholson, trying to walk the line between what the studios wanted him to be (a romantic hero such as those he played in 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knight's Tale, his first two big hits) and the more renegade figures he was drawn to (Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, the iconic Australia outlaw in Ned Kelly or the junkie in Candy). "I wanted to scrub it all away," he said of his early forays into stardom, "and start again, to see what my abilities are, if there are any." He was hard on himself and on his performances, but wounded by criticism from others. Of the publicity for his role in A Knight's Tale, he told me, "They put my face on a poster with 'He Will Rock You' written underneath it, which I certainly didn't think I was going to.. and what if I didn't?" He added, "That freaked me the f--- up. That's where I really felt like my destiny was in somebody else's hands, and it was all being masterminded." The role in Brokeback, a sheep rancher trying to come to terms with his homosexuality, attracted him because of its complexity — and because it contrasted with his Hollywood "image." "It was going to be a challenge," he told me, "It was going to be one of those roles ... I would have to mature as a person and mature as an actor in order to tell."

Born in 1979 in Perth, Australia, he told me that he grew up playing hockey with his dad and his sisters. And his heroes were musicians. "Kurt Cobain and Bono," he said. "I guess they were about the only heroes I really had. I wasn't raised on movies." He moved to Los Angeles at the age of 19, and fame came very quickly, including a big break in the 2000 movie The Patriot co-starring fellow Aussie Mel Gibson. Celebrity had its discontents, though he found solace with the actress Michelle Williams and their daughter Matilda. But he complained about the scrutiny and the pervasiveness of the paparazzi. "They talk to you, they taunt you, they try to get you to react... and you just gotta keep walking and it's embarrassing."

Since Brokeback, he had been having general career success but personal distress. He had separated from Williams and had moved out of their sunny yellow Brooklyn home. At the same time he was receiving accolades for his performance in the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There and had completed filming his role as the Joker (a character Nicholson immortalized) in the new Batman movie The Dark Knight, a potential blockbuster. At the news of Ledger's death, Mel Gibson said, "I had such great hope for him. He was just taking off, and to lose his life at such a young age is a tragic loss." Ledger leaves behind a career of great promise, a too small body of films and the sense that he never admired his work as much as others did. With reporting by Rebecca Winters Keegan/Park City, Utah

On a tous les idées brouillées. C’est tellement triste. Heath trainait assurément quelque chose de grave à Londres et il n’arrivait pas du tout à dormir. Tout le monde pensait qu’il couvait une pneumonie (pour ne pas dire une pneumonie galopante).

On a tourné à Londres et autour de Londres dans plein d’endroits horribles et sinistres, comme la centrale électrique de Battersea (désaffectée) dont l’intérieur est ouvert aux quatre vents, avec d’énormes poutres suspendues. La lumière y entre et crée une atmosphère horrible semblable à celle de la NUIT DE WALPURGIS (film)

C’est un bâtiment vraiment sinistre qui sert parfois au tournage de films. Quelques scènes du nouveau Batman ont été tournées là bas. C’est un bâtiment historique, protégé, qui ne peut donc pas être démoli. Il est juste planté là, béant.

Les derniers jours, on a tourné à l’extérieur d’un Pub. Toujours dehors. On avait super froid. Vous savez comme il peut faire très humide à Londres et pendant la nuit la température chute drastiquement, et un petit vent glacial se lève. On devait porter des tonnes de vêtements.

HEATH LEDGER was obsessed with a British musician who died in similar circumstances aged 26.

Folk singer Nick Drake died from an overdose of antidepressant drugs in 1974.

Ledger's last completed project before his death in New York last week was to shoot and star in a music video for the Drake song Black Eyed Dog, a reference to Winston Churchill's description of depression. He intended to make a longer film about Drake's life.

Ledger spoke of his fascination with Drake at the Venice Film Festival last year, where he was promoting I'm Not There, a film about folk singer Bob Dylan.

"I was obsessed with an artist by the name of Nick Drake," Ledger told reporters at a press conference. "I was obsessed with [his] story and his music and I pursued it for a while and [I] still have hopes to kind of tell his story one day."

Drake had depression and took sleeping pills to combat insomnia. His family still doesn't know whether his death was intentional.

Ledger obsessed with tragic British musician Nick Drake


IN a bizarre twist to Heath Ledger's shock death, it has emerged that the actor was obsessed with a reclusive '70s musician who died in eerily similar circumstances at the age of 26.

Ledger's fascination with troubled British singer Nick Drake - who died from a suspected accidental overdose of prescription medication in the prime of his music career - saw the actor determined to bring his life story to the big screen.

The Brokeback Mountain star had recently shot and edited a music video for a Drake song called Black Eyed Dog - which earned its title from a Winston Churchill quote describing depression.

It was the last song Drake recorded before overdosing on anti-depression medication in 1974 at the age of 26.

At the end of the video, Ledger is seen drowning himself in a bathtub.

In September, Ledger spoke of his fascination with the songwriter, who he described as a "very mysterious figure", while he was at the Venice Film Festival to promote the Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There.

"I was obsessed with his story and his music and I pursued it for a while and still have hopes to kind of tell his story one day," Ledger said.

A representative for Drake's estate described the clip, which was shot in black and white, as "gorgeous" and "extremely moving".

The video, which consists mainly of Ledger turning the camera on himself, has not been released commercially and has not yet leaked to the Web.

It has been screened just twice, once in September at a music festival in Seattle and a second time in October at an event honoring Drake held in Los Angeles.

The similarities between the two men are striking - talented, young artists who struggled with the limelight that came with their successful careers.

Ledger also directed the video for the song Morning Yearning by American singer Ben Harper, a long-time friend who is also the actor's business partner in LA-based record label Masses Music Co.

The label's first signing was Grace Woodroofe, a17-year-old singer from Ledger's hometown of Perth.

Ledger also directed a video for her cover of David Bowie's Quicksand.

While Drake garnered just a cult following during his life, his music has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years.

In 2000, Volkswagen scored a television ad with the title track from his 1972 album Pink Moon, with the exposure seeing Drake's albums reportedly selling more in one month than they had in the previous 30 years.

Drake's melodic, haunting songs have also featured in the soundtracks of films including Serendipity, a romantic comedy starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.

This past November, fans were treated to a limited-edition box set that included not only the three albums Drake recorded in his short career, but also a book and a DVD documentary about his life.

Traduc partielle:

Heath était obsédé (fasciné) par un musicien anglais, mort dans des circonstances similaires à l’âge de 26 ans.

Le chanteur Folk Nick Drake est mort d’une overdose d’antidépresseurs en 1974.

Juste avant son décès à New York la semaine dernière il a tourné une vidéo musicale de la chanson de Drake « Black Eyed Dog », (référence à une citation de Winston Churchill - c’est comme cela qu’il définissait la dépression). Il avait l’intention de faire un film sur la vie de Drake.

………

Drake était dépressif et prenait des somnifères contre l’insomnie. Sa famille ne sait, à ce jour, toujours pas s’il s’est suicidé.

Mais que se passe t-il avec Jake Gyllenhall? Pourquoi ce mutisme ( il s'entoure de gardes du corps sur le tournage de son nouveau film pour ne pas avoir à faire de déclarations!) Les sentiments qu'il aurait pour Heath seraient ils plus fort que ceux d'un ami parrain de sa fille? C'est troublant: tout l'entourage de Heath Ledger ayant exprimé son émotion sauf lui!

T'as pas forcément envie d'étaler ta peine devant le monde entier, tu sais !
S'il est trop bouleversé, crois-tu qu'il ait envie de craquer devant les vautours que sont les journalistes ?
Moi je le comprends.

Alfar,
je suis d'accord avec Emy, je crois qu'ils ont vécu ensemble une aventure qui les a énormément rapprochés... il doit être très mal en ce moment... très très mal et il n'a pas envie d'étaler son chagrin devant une meute de journalistes affamés.

la bA du batman semble montrer un film relativement violent et sombre effectivement. heath y est vraiment méconaissable; une grande performance. il semblait s'ouvrir à lui une carrière effectivement plus que prometteuse.
quant à jack, tetu disait dans sa lettre envoyée par mail, qu'il serait régulièrement en pleurs....

lisez bien les petites lignes....

au pied de Brokeback ...

SYDNEY (AFP) - Le corps de l'acteur australien Heath Ledger, qui avait interprété l'un des deux cow-boys du film "Brokeback mountain", a quitté Los Angeles dimanche à l'issue d'un service religieux et a été rapatrié en Australie, indiquent les médias américains.
(publicité)

Seuls sa famille et des amis proches ont assisté à la cérémonie, qui a notamment réuni l'ancienne fiancée de Ledger et partenaire dans le film d'Ang Lee, Michelle Williams, et Naomi Watts, une ancienne petite amie.

Heath Ledger, 28 ans, a été retrouvé mort dans son appartement de New York il y a quelques jours et les premiers résultats de l'autopsie n'ont pas permis de déterminer les causes de sa mort. D'autres analyses sont en cours.

La police a écarté l'hypothèse du crime et penche pour l'abus de substances pharmaceutiques. Des médicaments ont été retrouvés près de son corps inanimé mais sa famille dit ne pas croire à l'hypothèse d'un suicide.

Selon Mike Ledger, l'oncle du comédien, le corps de Heath Ledger sera transporté dans sa ville de naissance de Perth (ouest de l'Australie).
