After months of speculation it appears that a decision has been made. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law will all play Heath Ledger’s character in Terry Gilliam’s, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus.
After Heath Ledger’s unexpected death earlier this month whilst in the middle of filming The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, there have been varying rumours about how Gilliam would choose to finish the film. Some believed that CGI would be used to reconstruct Ledger others said another actor would be hired to fill in. However, according to Now Ain’t It Cool, it appears that not just one, but three actors, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have been roped in to play Ledger’s character. Such a bizarre concept will be easily incorporated through the fantastical nature of the film.
Dr. Parnassus is the story of the owner of a travelling show who makes a deal with the Devil. He agrees to give him his first child on her 16th birthday in return for eternal youth. In the film, Ledger plays the owner trying to save his daughter from the clutches of the Devil.
