Reports that actors Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell are set to fill the role left vacant by the untimely death of Australian actor Heath Ledger last month are true, according to Law’s spokeswoman.
Ledger was working on the movie ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ when he died of an accidental drug overdose in his New York aparment on January 22, prompting many to believe that director Terry Gilliam would shut the film down.
However, in an interview with the BBC, Law’s spokeswoman confirmed that the role would be filled by the three actors who will each play different incarnations of Ledger’s character, Tony, as he passes through a mirror into alternate dimensions.
The rep wasn’t sure of how the role would be changed, confirming only that the actor’s would "become" Ledger as they pass into through the mirrors.
