Following on from yesterday’s news about Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus shutting down, it appears that there may be a way forward that would preserve both the film and Heath Ledger’s role within it. According to Dark Horizons (via):

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 [Depp]’s not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it.

It’s an elegant sounding solution and one that may just work. It also means that Terry Gilliam would finally have a chance to work with Johnny Depp after the collapse of Man Who Killed Don Quixote.
