Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell to Fill Heath Ledger's Role in Dr. Parnassus

THE JOKER

i have to agree with seti73, Depp fits the genre alot better as well. He has already made movies with styles like this. He would be more fitting. The other two are great actors, but Depp would be better for this role.

AndrewRyan - I respectfully disagree.

Of course, no one can tell you what actors to like better as everyone has differing opinions, tastes, etc. However as far as admiration of talent is concerned, I could not see Colin (or Jude) fairing well (or fitting well) in films Depp has done such as:

Edward Scissorhands
Secret Window
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Neverland
Dead Man
Sweeney Todd
Chocolat
Pirates of the Caribbean (1st one)

Again, just my opinion. I'm not challenging who you like better, just your comment regarding equal talent level. I think Depp has a unique gift among today's actors to play such a wide variety of roles, and make them work. This is more of an opinion of mine based on Depp's greatness than Colin's or Jude's weaknesses. That is to say, I don't think Colin and Jude are bad actors, I just think Depp is on another level.

I'm not trying to force my opinion on you, but rather just explaining a little more what I meant in my comment below. ;)

Here's a source I found that would make the movie into making sense: 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.

All three of those guys have the same talent level. I just like Colin better than the other two.

Personally, I'm not sure Colin Farrel and Jude Law are anywhere near Depp's talent level. For Johnny to be listed among those two is an insult to him.

Of course, this is just my humble opinion.
