Heath Ledger was still filming “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” when he died in January 2008, so director Terry Gilliam had to get creative when it came to finishing his film, while still honoring Heath’s work. He had three other actors—Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law—step in for the remainder of Heath’s scenes, believing the wackiness of the story itself supported the character having an evolving physical appearance. The trailer for the film has been released and it looks amazing. Check it out above.

@Lynn: no, I did the same thing. the Oct 16th date is the UK release date. It’s coming out in the US around Christmas. If I had the money, I’d fly to Britain to see it so I don’t have to wait…
