Depp to replace Ledger?
Gilliam’s film looks for a new star…
Sweeney Todd star Johnny Depp could be iꦫn line to replace his friend Heath Ledger on Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, after the sudden death of the﷽ Oz actor last week.
The tragedy left Gilliam’s film in limbo, with🍬 Ledger having shot footage since December and another six weeks left to film. But now claims Depp has been hand-picked by Gilliam to st♓ep into the void, having previously dazzled in Gilliam’s Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.
The i♏dea, apparently, is that Ledger’s character would fall through a magic mirror and emerge as Depp. It’s fantasy, see?
Having wrapped Todd and with two projects on ice thanks to the writer’s strike , JD ꦜis no doubt keen to work with Gill🌄iam – especially since The Man Who Killed Don Quixote fell apart for (roughly) the million-billionth time.
