News: Depp Honours Ledger With Snorkelling Cove

Awww I think this is really lovely and just so heartwarming ❤

Johnny Depp has paid a personal tribute to the late Heath Ledger by naming a section of his private paradise island in the Bahamas after the tragic actor.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star owns Little Hall’s Pond Cay in the Caribbean and frequently travels there with his girlfriend Vanessa Paradis and their two children, Lily-Rose, 10, and Jack, seven.

Depp reveals he has renamed a prime snorkelling spot Heath’s Place, in memory of his pal, and admits the sunshine getaway provides the perfect place to unwind and escape from the pressures of Hollywood.

He tells Vanity Fair magazine, “I don’t think I’d ever seen any place so pure and beautiful.

“(Pond Cay life) is my decompression. It’s my way of trying to return to normalcy. Escapism is survival to me. You can feel your pulse rate drop about 20 beats. It’s instant freedom. …And a little morsel of anonymity.

“Whenever I was getting frustrated about being ‘novelty boy’ and making movies, I told myself, Calm down. I can come down here and disappear. I spent the Christmas season here with Vanessa and the kids. You can feed hot dogs to the nurse sharks in the Exumas (the outer islands of the Bahamas) – but it’s best to not swim when doing it.”

Ledger died from an accidental prescription drug overdose in January 2008.

Depp is one of three actors who have stepped in to take over Ledger’s role in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, his last unfinished project, alongside Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

News: Streep Inspired Ryder’s Happiness

I always like it when younger actors are helped out by their elders.

Winona Ryder vowed to cheer up on movie sets – after Meryl Streep taught her how to be happy and successful.

The actress, who suffered from depression following her split from Johnny Depp, realised she could combine her acting with a contented personal life after working with Streep on 1993’s The House of the Spirits.

And the experience helped her learn it wasn’t necessary for actors to be moody in order to give their best performance.

Ryder tells Elle UK, “I worked with Meryl Streep on The House of the Spirits. I always thought actors had to be really depressed or moody or anguished to be great, but she was completely fine and had her family and came to work and did an amazing job and she wasn’t that way.

“I remember that being a really big deal to me. And I was like, ‘Wow, I can actually be happy and be good at the same time!'”

News: Ledger’s Last Film Not A Big Hit Among Critics

It is probably very different to how it was intended with the other actors having to replace Heath and change the appearance. I can imagine it to be confusing, but I am still very much looking forward to seeing it.

Heath Ledger’s final film has been given a lukewarm reception at the Cannes Film Festival – and many critics were shocked to see his character hanging from a London bridge with a rope around his neck in his first scene.

Ledger died in January, 2008 before he completed work on Terry Gilliam’s fantasy film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus; Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell stepped in to complete his part in the movie.

And though film reviewers have been kind to the late actor in his final role, they’ve not been so taken by Gilliam or his film, which premiered at Cannes this week (beg18May09).

Britain’s TimesOnline critic James Christopher writes, “Ledger is a marvel to watch,” but insists the plot of the film is “slim, incomprehensible, and desperately unconvincing”.

He goes on to suggest the film “could have benefited with a lot more hard story and a lot less whimsy”.

And Guardian critic Peter Bradshaw insists the film is “amiable” but “could be for fans only,” adding “the film’s convoluted curlicues are tiring, insisting too loudly on how ‘imaginative’ everything is”.

Ledger’s Last Film To Hit Cannes

Its nice to see it will get a place in a film festival, to get it out there nice and early.

The film Heath Ledger was making when he died last year is set to premiere at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival in France after becoming a last-minute screening.

Film fans and the media are expected to flock to Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when it opens on the eve of a day of publicity on 22 May.

The film will not be among those competing for film festival prizes.

As well as Ledger, the film features Christopher Plummer, Verne Troyer, Lily Cole and Tom Waits and Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law, who stepped in to complete the tragic actor’s scenes.

Ledger died from an accidental drug overdose in January 2008.
