Depp, Law, & Farrell step in for Ledger
Variety reports that Terry Gilliam has found a workaround for his new film The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus that will allow for the preservation of the scenes Heath Ledger filmed before his untimely death last month. Instead of recasting Ledger’s role entirely, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell will all play the same character, along with Ledger.
In the fantasy pic, Ledger’s character steps into three different dimensions, each transporting him to a new world which will now be inhabitated by Depp, Law, and Farrell.

That’s a really clever way of getting around his death, and making it so his scenes are still intact. Props to the film folk.
