Johnny Depp, Jude Law & Colin Farrell All Set To Play Tribute To Heath Ledger In 'Imaginarium'

Ok, remember there were rumors that Johnny Depp was going to replace Heath Ledger in Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parssanus” (Ledger’s untimely death throwing the production of the film into a tailspin with talk of completely shelving the project)?

Ain’t It Cool News is reporting that not only will Depp replace and finish Ledger’s unfilmed scenes, but so too will Jude Law and Colin Farrell (we must admit, this sounds like actors lending their talents au gratis, or at least for scale because they felt so affected and moved by Ledger’s death). An interesting tribute this will make and will jack up the interest in the wacky-sounding ‘Parssanus’ tenfold (let’s face it, before Ledger died this project just sounded like another hodgepodge of strange, and bad, Terry Gilliam films).

In the script, Ledger’s character evidently falls through a “magical mirror” into an alternate reality and many are speculating this loophole will lend the story its excuse to have four characters playing the same role. Either way, prepare to suspend your disbelief something fierce (photo ideas stolen from Slashfilm). PS don’t say it’s like “I’m Not There,” its relationship to that idea is superficial (and thin) at best.
