Depp, Law and Farrell Step in for Ledger

February 18th, 2008 in Actors, Celebs, Drama, Movie News, Movies, The Movie Biz

250px-heath_ledger.jpgWith the passing of Heath Ledger, filmmaker Terry Gilliam’s upcoming $30 million fantasy flick, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” was placed in turmoil. Ledger had done quite a bit of the filming in London, but more was to be shot in Canada when the actor passed away in January.

Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell are stepping in to play the role. No explanation yet on just how these handsome, talented actors will portray Ledger’s character. But, Associated Press referred to the casting like “I’m Not There,” a film about Bob Dylan were several actors played the icon. Irorny is Ledger also started in that movie.

I remember seeing “Brain Storm” when Natalie Wood passed away mid filming. It struck a heart string because she was so beautiful, professional and talented actress. Same with Richard Harris in “Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets.” Harris final scene with Harry gets me every time, a brilliant actor.

I can only image what will happen with I see Heath Ledger in his final movie.

Thanks for stepping up guys!

    It’s sad that, such is the nature of these things, both this and the new Batman movie will probably both be big-hitters at the box office. Would ‘The Crow’ ever have been the success it was if Brandon Lee wasn’t killed during filming? I’m not so sure.

    You have some good points. Losing someone is not an easy task no mater which facet you view.
