‘Dr. Parnassus’ has been saved

Despite the tragic death of pic’s star Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell have all signed on to play Ledger’s character, Tony, in the film.

So, Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”, probably has been saved from cinematic doom.

In the fantasy pic, ‘Tony’ steps into three different dimensions, each transporting him into a new world, worlds which will now be inhabitated by Depp, Law, and Farrell.

No word yet on when production will resume but the film is on board for a 2009 release.

Other cast members include Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits, Lily Cole, Andrew Garfield and Verne Troyer.
