Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell will appear as Heath Ledger’s character in Terry Gilliam’s unfinished film “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” according to a report on the BBC.
Production on the film was suspended after Ledger died last month from an accidental drug overdose. He had been filming scenes for the movie in London just before his death.
It is thought that the footage of Ledger will remain in the film while Law, Depp and Farrell will play different incarnations of his character.
The fantasy film follows a travelling theatre troupe which offers audience members the chance to pass through a magical mirror to alternate dimensions.

This year’s Golden Globes ceremony has been scrapped after Hollywood actors vowed to boycott the event in support of striking writers. The winners will now be revealed in an hour-long conference next Sunday that replaces the traditional glitzy dinner and ceremony.
TV networks had threatened not to screen the awards ceremony without Hollywood stars present despite the awards regarded as being second in prestige only to the Oscars.
Jorge Camara, president of the Golden Globe organisers, said: “We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favourite stars.”
