Doing It For Heath
Filed under: Film Flickers > Heath Ledger
Director Terry Gilliam has been faced with the difficult situation of finishing his film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, which will be Heath Ledger's last movie, without him.
And, now, it seems that a solution has been reached that will allow the pic to be completed without its lead star.
Ledger's character steps through a mirror three different times and into different worlds. So three different actors will now inhabit his character's body in those segments of the film.
Those thesps are: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.
We think Heath would approve!

5th?
awesome
AWESOME!!!
I love this. how perfect. No cool with Farrel though, I think Jake would have been a better choice
i would so watch this movie
wow. that is amazing! so nice!
OMG– what a wonderful solution. I think Heath would approve.
It'll be a great movie to watch. It's wonderful to see Hollywood unite!
At least they had all the parts filmed that would need him in it, like the beginning and end to allow this to happen. I am glad they will be able to finish in a tribute to Heath!
I know someone who looks exactly like him, he could be better than those actors
Beautiful tribute from his peers.
I really don't think Sluttyenna's ex (and star of 'Alfie') has any business near anything of Heath's, but fine. Or CF, star of such gems as, oh, I don't know, the CF sex tape. Blecch.
JD should do all three.
johnny
frickin
depp
twentyfifth!!!! LOL
awesome idea for the film! Hopefully it makes the cut
RIP Heath
I am not feeling Jude Law. Another young Brit or Aussie. But "one of these things doesn't belong with the others". And it's Jude Law.
I miss him already but if he reallly did die from a drug over dose, then its his fault. No one should live while doing drugs
that sounds like it will be really amazing, i hope they can pull it off!
what a great solution, im glad they didnt have to scrap the whole movie, r.i.p heath.
I love Heath Ledger, and I am glad that they found a way to carry on with the movie that he worked hard on until the end. May he rest in peace.
Re: JAKE – Jake at #32, Shame on you for injecting politics here. But…What concerns me about Obama is Michelle. Do I want her representing the USA schmoozing with Queen Elizabeth, the queen of the Netherlands, the monarchs of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain…??? The Presidents, Premiers, Prime Ministers of Europe, Asia, & Africa…??? And what happens if/when she starts a crazy redecorating fit in the White House. OH lawzy, lawzy, Miss Scarlett!!! Congress better pass a "No Redecorating Bill" until we get Barack & Michelle OUT of the White House.
I didn't realize how much hair he lost and before age 30. Glad terry is continuing with the movie!
Re: Katie – YOU STUPID LITTLE FUCKHEAD IT WAS AN ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE HOW DARE YOU CONDESCEND HIM LIKE THAT!!!
JAKE GYLLENHAAL INSTEAD OF JUDE LAW!!!!
They're three awesome actors.
Wow, all three amazing actors.
I think that Heath would feel proud, and this is an amazing solution.
Wow, it's tragic that he won't be able to complete the film, but this is going to be a SPECTACULAR film. It'll be a must-see for sure.
VERY COOL! cant wait to see this!
heath ledger is FUG!
that sounds like it's gonna be an awesome movie.
I think that's an awesome decision! I'm glad they are going to cont with the film. RIP Heath
heath ledger is FUG! to the maxxx
STUPID
I think that was a beautifully thoughtout decision. The actors are a wonderful tribute to one of their most talented peers.
I just watch Brokeback again today..third time since Heath has passed. I still miss him so much! The world such a better place with Heath in it.
Sounds like a creative solution. Hope it works.
RIP, Heath.
i am sooooooooooo sick of this heath ledger crap! he is NOT the 2nd coming. he was a hollywood drug addict. he dug his grave and now he has to lay in it. gosh! get over it! he's DEAD…DEAD…DEAD!!!!
That's good. Johnny is an amazing actor, as well was Heath. I think Jude does a decent job as well. I'm not exactly a fan of Colin Farrell, but I'm sure the movie will be great. And I'm sure Heath would have wanted the show to go on.
AMAZING
This is such old news…this website is starting to suck, where are the updates????
A nice story about Heath doesn't change what I think about you anymore, Perez. That Barack-smearing is just too ridiculous.
Heath wouldn't approve of it, that's for sure.
This is so touching and a fantastic solution. I'm actually a bit intrigued to see the film now!
Sounds brilliant. I'm sure Depp, Farrell, and Law will do him justice.
Gilliam is a genius, anyway.
Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell are perfect and I can also see Orlando Bloom or Daniel Day Lewis but this works too, I am just thrilled it's getting finished with Heath's part intact. Should be remarkable anyway Heath's in it.
Aw I think he would approve as well, great group of actors
I am happy they are going to finish his last movie. He is so greatly missed. This will be a great way to honor him.
That sounds really awesome!! I love it when Perez posts nice, good things like this instead of well you know other things . . . .
hey katie
YOU ARE A FUCKING MORON DUMBASS.
Now thats gonna be good

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is an unfinished American fantasy-adventure film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and screenwriter Charles McKeown, whose production was in progress when it had to be suspended due to the death of one of its principal stars, Heath Ledger, on January 22, 2008. Prior to the suspension of production, Christopher Plummer and Tom Waits were co-starring with Ledger in a story about the leader of a traveling theater troupe who, through a deal with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations. Production began on the film in December 2007, but Heath Ledger's unexpected death in January 2008 led Gilliam to suspend production on the film while he determined if and how he might "salvage" the film.[1]
In February 2008 actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell reportedly signed on to take over Ledger's role, becoming multiple incarnations of his character transformed in the "magical" world of the film.[2]
The projected release date for this film is 2009.
Oh wow, all this talent in one movie… Terry is doing the right thing, Heath would've wanted him to finish it.
lovelovelove jude law
johnny depp, jude law ANDD colin farrell?!!
DAYMMMMMMM
thats gonna be somee movie
Who is this guy, Anna Nicole Smith? Why is he more popular dead than alive? Uh, he's dead folks. Move along. You weren't close personal friends with him and he wouldn't give 2 shits about you if you died from a drug overdose so forget about him already. I haven't seen one movie he was in and I imagine 95% of the population haven't either. Why do you want to idolize drugged up losers?
Re: Katie – Well, little Miss perfect…Yeah, I guess EVERYONE who has EVER done a drug or drugs should freakin' die…Are you serious? God…there are some idiots out there and you are clearly the leader of the pack.
Bravo! Hollywod made good!
Although it does break hearts…Heath Ledger is amazingly talented, and at least he went out with a film.
RIP Heath Ledger.

Re: Kelsey – Yak cared enough to comment on him, eh? Well, we won't care when Yak dies either because 95 percent of the people…
