This story @ www.huffingtonpost.com States: The news first broke Friday on insider-y webiste aintitcoolnews.com and today Variety reported on their scoop. Heath Ledger's role in Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," which was partially filmed at the time of his death, has been recast Despite the tragic death of pic's star Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell have all signed on to play Ledger's character, 'Tony,' in the film.
"Parnassus," which is being produced by William Vince ("Capote"), Amy Gilliam and Samuel Hadida's banner, was shooting in London when Ledger died from an accidental overdose January 22nd.
Ledger's character is transported into three separate dimensions in the fantasy pic; these new worlds, which Ledger accesses via a paranormal mirror, will now be inhabitated by Depp, Law, and Farrell.
I guess this would be much like the idea in ledgers other work "Im not there" the story of Bob Dylan where he and other actors such as Cate Blanchett and Richard Gere all play Bob Dylan at various stages in his life. If this worked for a biography I'm sure they can swing it in a fantasy film i think this is the cooolest idea yet proposed and how cool would it be to have Tom Waits, Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp and Chris Plummber all in the same film!!!!!!!!
