This is from World Entertainment News Weekly:
Actress Michelle Williams is keen to make a clean break after splitting up with boyfriend Heath Ledger - she's looking to move to Portland, Oregon.
Friends claim there are too many bad memories for her in New York, where she shared a love-nest with her Brokeback Mountain co-star, and she fell for Oregon during a recent break there.
A source tells In Touch Weekly magazine, "The split with Heath was pretty devastating, and Michelle wants to start over."
Williams and her two-year-old daughter by Ledger, Matilda, recently spent time with friends in Portland, and now she's reportedly looking to create a base there.
The insider adds, "She's able to relax and unwind when she is here."

I'm with you, Daniel. Maybe I don't have the imagination, but I don't see it working. To me, it would be like making a Casablana II. Do Rick and Ilse meet up in New York City after the war? That's not a perfect example because although they're tragically parted, they are both alive. Still, Casablanca ended the way it needed to, just as Brokeback Mountain did - it's why they are classics. I doubt that if Brokeback Mountain had an unambiguous ending, we would be here talking about it. That's precisely why we can internalize it and make it our own personal story - and why people are compelled to write fan fiction.
For the record, I haven't seen any of the Godfather movies, so maybe I've only seen bad sequels. LOTR and Star Wars are trilogies, IMO, and HP books are individual also. But I don't guess I would put anything past Hollywood.
Another thing occurs to me...I've never been a big fan of Gone With the Wind, but some people think it's a classic. There was a sequel (a novel) that I thought was at least as good as the original. And now I hear there's another one, Rhett, coming out. Both of these were done with the approval of Margaret Mitchell's estate.
So, I'm arguing in circles and taking up bits and bytes...sorry. ???

Off topic and tangential, but you really should see GF and GF Part 2 as part of your cinematic education. They are very, very good and I am not usually a big fan of gangster movies with violence. But these are amazingly well done character studies that focus on the people.
Skip the third one (which came out something like 20 years after part 2). It was lousy.

I read this, too. This doesn't reflect well on their breakup. Obviously it wasn't amicable or "something we both decided was best". It sounds messy and painful and unexpected and apparently Michelle got the short-end of the stick. After all, you don't hear about Heath moving away from New York to get away from the memories.
