Michelle Williams Back to Work and Next to a Skeleton (Literally)

"Okay, we have Michelle Williams back on set today -- so should we go ahead and shoot that scene with her next to a skeleton, three blocks away from where her old flame was found dead a couple weeks ago?" I imagine a conversation like this had to occur prior to shooting scenes for Williams' new film Mammoth in New York City the other day. Photos of the poor gal standing next to a skeleton on set were splashed across the pages of the New York Post today, and one can't help but look at her and say, "Really? These were the scenes that needed to be shot right now? And the skeleton comes into play ... how, exactly?"
Mammoth stars Williams and Gael García Bernal as a married couple living in New York with their daughter and Filipina nanny whose lives drastically change when the husband takes a business trip to the Philippines. Williams was back in New York only two days after attending a funeral service for Heath Ledger in Australia. Here's hoping the girl stays strong ... and that the Mammoth filmmakers will try to next shoot a scene that doesn't involve a dead body in SoHo.

Spooky!! Kinda creepy! My only question is why go back to filming a movie knowing there may be a skeleton involved? Is this thearpy?
Well Roman Polaski did the same thing. After his wife died, he went and filmed a bloody Re-Telling of "Macbeth", entitled: "The Tragedy of Macbeth".)

That is just all kinds of tacky, indeed.

Wow, Mammoth is the new Lukas Moodysson film. Hopefully whatever led him to make A Hole in My Heart and Container is out of his system now, and with a bit of luck this will be a return to the form of his first three features.

Hasn't Michelle been through enough already? Wasn't there any way that this scene could've been shot at another time? They piece a lot of the movies together anyway, surely they could've postponed this. For God's sake, she just lost the Daddy(that she still loved) of her little girl, and they put her through this? I just can't believe it. I pray that Michelle gets through ALL of what she has been through in the past 3 1/2 wks. She hasn't even had any real time to begin healing. I just wish that there was something that I could do or say to help her. Grieving and trying to heal are some of the hardest things to try to get through anyway, and then this is added on top of it. Michelle, just hold on to your beautiful little Matilda, and BELIEVE and things will get better. I am so sorry you've had to endure everything that has happened, but BELIEVE that Heath is in the Arms of the Lord and is watching down on you and Matilda Rose, and his soul will always be there for both of you. The soul NEVER dies. Heath will ALWAYS be around for both of you. He is now Matilda's Guardian Angel. Sending all of my love and blessings to you both.
