Yes, of course they will. Why wouldn't they? To cut such an expensive film from release after post-production is already completed, too many people would be way in the red.

3. Will they still show the film despite this?

I am numb... Hollywood has lost one of it's most talented and courageous actors. He and Jake put their reputations, even their lives on the line making Brokeback Mountain. I have loved Heath since I saw him in 10 Things. I pray that this was an accident. My heart breaks for Michelle and their baby.

IQ is showing:  1482 days ago

Sleeping pills (especially Ambien) are pretty weird. Ambien is not over the counter, but if he had a prescription for that and was also taking OTC sleeping pills, who knows what could've happened. I'm guessing it was a stupid drug overdose. An accident, I guess...but an avoidable one. People need to pay attention to ANY AND ALL drugs they take.

This came as a shock. You will be missed Heath. Sad that such a big talent and a devoted father passed away so young and way to soon.
My heart goes out to your family and friends.
May you rest in peace, and never be forgotten.
