Johnny Depp Might Step Into Heath Ledger’s Last Role

Heath Ledger was six weeks away from finishing the fantasy flick The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Director Terry Gilliam is asking his pal, Johnny Depp to film the remaining scenes. A studio source said: “There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in.

“It’s a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath’s character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment.

“Johnny’s not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it.”

Currently, production is shut down for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
