if it's a drug related suicide a studio may choose to postpone releasing it for awhile.

it's a valid question, joe.

i should have made it more clear, not the filming but Release of the film

"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"
A traveling theater company gives its audience much more than they were expecting.

Heath Ledger
Christopher Plummer ... Dr. Parnassus
Tom Waits ... Mr. Nick
Verne Troyer ... Percy

my company deals with he production and they cancelled there latest order about an hour ago, so im guessing not good

sad to see them go so young

[b0ld]

*blinks*.... okay...

Why would they not release it? after all a cameraman during the filming of batman actually ended up getting killed while capturing a scene. They kept on going... Nothing is going to stop them. Whats the point? everyone is just as human as anyone else in or outside of there profession.

i did not say NOT release it, i said postpone. I highly doubt it would happen, but it's a possibility.

Also, a cameraman is a shit pebble compared to a studio's leading oscar nominated actor.

[dave mcnasty]

well the cameraman doesn't appear on screen.....how ever tragic his death is, it's just realistically not as important to the people who see the movie and the marketing of the whole thing

Exactly, a dead cameraman doesn't effect the marketability of the film.

A dead lead actor does.

Sometimes I think b0ld got hungry one day and ate half of his own brain.

There's way too much stupid going around.

Probably positively, in terms of the bottom line! Who isn't going to see that Batman movie now?

Let's review for B0ld's sake:

Dead lead actor before filming's done: Bad

Dead lead actor after filming's done: Not bad (from a production and money making perspective)

Dead cameraman: A mere speedbump (again from a production and $ perspective)

Anyways, enough calloused comments, RIP Heath.....

I wanna see "I'm Not There" as well

It can be bad though, depending upon the cause of death of the lead actor.

that could not be good by any sort of marketing stand-point.

"lewd contact with a trained baboon" is a failed marketing strategy to begin with, IMHO.
