Johnny Depp Rumored to Replace Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The MulletMan of KeyWest is not currantly portraying any characters and certainly has an interest in doing so.

ok that makes sense. I have to agree with that, but i think Johnny will get the job done. no doubt.

I'm not saying Ledger is better than Depp, what I'm saying is that Gilliam had a vision for this movie and Ledger was it. So Depp stepping in might not be as good because the roll wasn't being designed for him it was being designed for ledger. I am a huge Johnny Depp fan he is my favorit actor but if a part is being formulated for someone else it might not be as good if they are replaced. I think he will do a great job but it might not be as good as Ledger was doing because he had already been working on the movie so that is how they were envisioning the character.

well i dont remember anyone ever saying anything about Heath being better than Depp ripper, but i agree that Depp will do a really good job with the role. He is a great actor. And he will more than likely dedicate the role to Ledger. I have no doubt

ok, i liked Heath Ledger but Johnny Depp is a fav of mine

Not a big fan of Depp, but he's probably the best person for this role after Heath. And you can't can the movie just because Heath died. Gilliam obviously has a vision for this movie that he wants to see on screen, not trapped in his head, like any director would want. Heath's passing is tragic, but the movie should still go on. A good director would adapt to the changes and use thier head to find the best person to replace the actor, in this case Heath Ledger.

I don't agree with the people saying to can it Johnny Depp is a really good actor and even though I'm sure Heath would have been great for the part Johnny Depp will probably be just as great. Besides the last movie that Depp and Gilliam were involved in together was a really great film.

both method actors, both great they're own right, with the passing of heath, johnny is a great choice and will probaly dedicate his performence to Heath so lets see what happens.

they've put alot of work into this and a new terry gilliam project would be good :) espicially with johnny depp ,and the way they wanted to intoruduce him sounds quite good ;)

i think he was a good choice. it wont be the same as Heath but Johnny can do a good job with the role

Strange!!! We all remeber what happend the last time Terry Gilliam & Johnny Depp tried to make a film together!!

I'm still just excited to see Tom Waits as the Devil.

I can't think of anyone else more qualified than Johnny to replace Heath on this one. So sad that we might never get to see Heath's scenes.

This is a bizarre twist...can the movie and put Depp on another project...

yup i agree can it

can it
