Can you believe that Heath Ledger was in 10 Things I Hate About You ten years ago? It has to be one of my favorite movies by him. I’m sure almost every girl wants a guy like that. And how about elevating the romantic/comedy into something that we really wanted to see. I know I am a fan of the romcom already but this one is different from all the rest.
The new two-disc DVD/Blu-Ray 10th-anniversary edition, complete with a new documentary about the film and never-before-seen footage of Ledger’s screen test is out and I am going to make sure I grab my hands on one of them. There is nothing like remembering that yes, Heath, once sang and danced like that. I still miss him….
New stills from the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus have come out. They show Heath Ledger, Colin Farrell and Jude Law all in the movie. And I had got a comment today on the release date. The movie will be in select theaters on December 25th and then opens nation-wide on January 8th.
On October 31st, 1993 at 1:51 a.m. River Phoenix died in front of the Viper Room., I was 18 and I remember that River’s death was one of the first major celebrity deaths I had experienced. (The next one being Kurt Cobain in April of 1994.) I remember sitting in front of the TV with my mom and we would watch all those entertainment type shows like Entertainment Tonight and Inside Edition and listen to what happened. (I am sure if it was like the time now we would have been on the internet )
It was something that shook my world. River had such a career ahead of him and he died so young. I see now that there has been many after him like Heath Ledger and DJ AM that have died way before they should have. And I was at such a young age I didn’t think that I would have to experience something like that again. It shouldn’t be happening and we should be able to live life happy without having to worry about the great ones that left us. But it doesn’t happen that way. That’s why I’m glad that I’m a writer and I’m able to be able to talk about them and remember them.
Even 16 years later people can’t stop talking about River. There was a quote at the end of an article that inspired this piece for me and I wanted to quote the quote the writer used there by James Taylor. It seemed to sum it up all nicely.
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again…
This new trailer for The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus looks different from the UK version I posted back in August. I like this one better. Again I am still waiting to hear the official US release date.
Also seven new French posters were released for the movie too. I am loving the Heath Ledger version.
Finally, we get to see what the movie poster for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus will look like. (This is the UK version of it.) The movie stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Christopher Plummer, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law to name a few. There hasn’t been an official release date for the States yet. I can’t say enough how excited I am to see this movie. People that know me know that Heath is a very important person in my life as I talk about him often. I can’t wait to see his last movie up on the big screen.
A bigger picture of the movie trailer is below plus a close up of Heath.
