--- Quote from: LauraGigs on February 20, 2008, 02:32:45 am ---Yes, just a week or so before Heath died I saw "Hollywoodland", which is about the death of George Reeves, and included reenactments of it (the different possible scenarios). It was relatively tastefully done (sympathetic to him and not graphic — way less so than a lot of TV these days), but still.

OT, but I really liked Hollywoodland, and thought both the movie and Ben Affleck's performance were way underrated. Heck, it made me like Ben Affleck, which I previously hadn't. (Diane Lane is good, too.)
--- Quote ---I imagine a few years from now Ledger's passing will be considered fair game for such dramatization, but hope there will be considerable pressure against it.

Or at least wait as much time as had passed since George Reeves died, which would make Matilda in her late 40s, Michelle and Jake 70-something.

In which the protagonist dies mysteriously, and the audience analyzes his final days for clues to his real character.
