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.
