Renaissance
Not One, Not Two, But Three New Actors For THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSUS
Posted by The Visitor at 10:49pm.

Great news for Terry Gilliam’s temporarily halted The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus. It’s now reported that Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell will take over from Heath Ledger, playing three representations of his character Tony, after he steps into a magical mirror.
According to rumours, Depp, Law and Farrell took pay cuts for their roles, as a tribute to Ledger, thus ensuring that the film’s budget won’t balloon.
This is fantastic news, and the three actors should really be commended because they’ve done three things - they’ve saved Gilliam’s film from being shut down, they’ve now made it an even more star-studded cast, and they’ve also ensured that Ledger’s final film will be seen. And that is a truly great tribute to a great actor.

this is very good news for gilliam…although i don’t know how much more depp i can take. i’m just sick and tired of it.

This is very good news. Awesome.
I hope Tom Waits gets to play off all three of them.
Too much Depp? That sounds like a comment a least 10 years too late, it does.
And the only film they’ve made together being probably the last rather brilliant thing Gilliam has managed to make, the pairing has good potential.

Joy!

@GAPS:
i’m much more excited about gilliam and waits working together again than i am about depp being involved at all.
GAPS 02/19/2008 @ 5:55pm
Ho ho! Fair enough - Waits is the real drawcard for me, too.

How can Depp do anything wrong?I thought that he was going to fall flat on his face by taking a musical and yet again he surprised me.The question is,is their anything he can’t do?Great actor,bravo!.

@novastar
“is there anything he can’t do?” that’s the problem. it seems like he’s trying to do everything and it’s annoying to see him every time you turn around.
