Michelle Williams was originally scheduled to star in the film ‘Blood’, which has just won one of the special jury awards at the Sundance Film Festival and is inspired by her own experience dealing with the loss of a loved one after the death of her ex Heath Ledger as a result of an accidental overdose in 2008.
The director of the film, Bradley Rust Gray , was a close friend of the ill-fated actor, who died at 28 years old, and both Michelle and he share the feeling of dragging a weight for the death of someone so important in their lives . As confirmed now, the actress got involved in the project and planned to play Chloe, a character who travels to Japan after the death of her husband and finds herself with the opportunity to fall in love again.
“When we were preparing to shoot the movie, he realized that everything was too recent, and he politely left,” he told the Entertainment Weekly portal. In the end, ‘Blade Runner 2049’ star Carla Juri took over for Michelle, who has a daughter from her relationship with Ledger.
