I don't see any reason for Nolan to spend any time making a magnificent tribute to an actor who had literally everything going for him and tossed it away on a high. Particularly because it leaves him in the possibly gross situation of having to cast someone else and re-film an entire movie or rewrite the ending or any number of other crazy and inconvenient changes. I really hope he'd already finished filming his scenes for "The Dark Knight".
Important safety tip: Drugs can kill you. And if you're too stupid to not use them either in moderation or not at all, the only regret I'll have is that you didn't get to make more movies to entertain me.
Don't get me wrong, I thought Ledger was a great actor with a promising future. He's in some of my favorite movies and I love his dynamic on screen, but I'm not going to spend any time being upset by his death, because he had complete control over it and chose (either deliberately or through negligence) to kill himself. I didn't see this coming and I think it's a tragic loss to the entertainment community, but I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for him. Maybe I'm just a callous ass. I'm ok with that.
