The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus

This past awards season's biggest story was whether or not Heath Ledger would win a posthumous Oscar for his role in The Dark Knight.

Well, if director Terry Gilliam has his way, that will be the story next year as well, except it will be for his film, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus.

Despite the fact that there initially was concern that he film would never make theaters, the movie has been given a prime fall release date.

After Heath Ledger’s sudden, tragic death, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell were hired to complete his final film role in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus directed by Terry Gilliam. The trio plays versions of Heath’s character as he travels through different dimensions.

In one of the most touchingly, un-Hollywood moves we’ve seen in a long time, Depp, Law and Farrell are donating their salaries from the film to Ledger and Michelle Williams’ two-year-old daughter Matilda because Ledger left an old will that didn’t include his little girl.
