‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ Will Not Be Altered
Work on ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus‘ resumed on Monday after Heath Ledger‘s death halted filming on the project earlier this year.
In his honor, Hollywood superstars Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have signed up to feature in the film, which is due for release next year.
However, the film’s director, Terry Gilliam, and producers have promised to preserve every detail of Ledger’s final performance, and that the hiring of the three new stars will not affect his work.
Producers working on Heath Ledger’s final film have vowed not to alter the tragic star’s last performance, even though the actor never got the chance to complete the project before his untimely death.
A statement released by the movie’s producers reads,
“Since the format of the story allows for the preservation of his entire performance, at no point will Heath’s work be modified or altered through the use of digital technology.

Heath Ledger – Digitally Re-Created?
There have been a few versions with Terry Gilliam’s fantasy film, after the passing of its star, Heath Ledger. The first was that Johnny Depp stand in for the tragic Ledger to complete the remaining scenes.
And now, there’s even another alternative.
Christopher Plummer told ‘People’ magazine: ‘Terry Gilliam is throwing himself into the job of trying to salvage the picture’.
Heath Ledger’s co-star in ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ has said that the late actor may be digitally re-created for his un-filmed scenes in the project!?
‘Fortunately, because the film deals with magic, there is a way, perhaps, of turning Heath into other people and then, using stills and I think they call it CGI.’
CGI has been used to complete actor’s performances before, when Oliver Reed was digitally recreated in ‘Gladiator’ after he died midway through the shoot.
