i know that heath ledger was filming this when he had died(still crying) but johnny depp is rumoured to continue heaths role in this.
Apparently heath falls into something and comes out somewhere and johnny becomes his character. anyone think this will work? i know it makes no sense when im saying it, but i just summed it up...very quickly to what i had read.

I heard that Ledger was a main player in the financial side of the film, with his unfortunate death, that funding was pilled away. That's another would-be-masterpiece from Gilliam that's had its legs pulled from under it. Gilliam always likened Ledger to Depp as an actor however, so everything is possible.
I still hope Gilliam can get Good Omens on the way, cracking book.
well, it came from a movie site(no, not imdb) and it said:
"Well, it's another bizarre turn of events in the Heath Ledger sad tale. According to the Sun in London, Johnny Depp is going to take on the role Ledger was filming in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. According to the report, there's a point in the film, which is a time travel fantasy, when Ledger falls through a magic mirror; "he could change into another character after that, and that is where Johnny would come in." Earlier reports were that the set had been shut down and all the crew let go. And the Sun also claims that three days before his death, while filming in London, Ledger had "a furious BUST-UP with bosses on the movie after they refused to reshoot a scene the perfectionist star was unhappy with" … Meanwhile, funeral arrangements have been set for the actor, though the family is keeping mum on details."
so....yeah

Anyone remember on the Simpsons when Troy Mclure went of to make a movie backed by fox? Sounds like they're making it in real life.

I am aware that "your" should be "you're," and while I know I should change it as not to offend the grammar fans around the boards, school always said not to bow to peer pressure so it stays as it is
if im not mistaken, Heath's character here will be replaced by Johnny Depp. They will create a scene where his character will enter a mirror that will serves as portal and when the time he will come out, there comes Johnny
It's rumored that it won't just be Johnny Depp, that 2 other actors besides Depp will also play Ledger's character. There's no way he can do the whole movie. He has way too much on his plate right now. The Rum Diary, Public Enemies, Shantaram, Sin City 2, and maybe even Sin City 3 will be coming out in 2009, which is when Dr. Parnassus comes out.
It's been confirmed. Heath Ledger's character will go through 3 changes during the movie, and with each change, the actors will change. The 3 actors taking on the role are Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell.
Well, I am having high hopes that this movie still gets released. Gilliam is one of my favorite directors. Also, Tom Waits is in the movie as well. It sounded right up my alley.
