Stars line up to fill Heath Ledger’s role in last movie as tribute

Heath Ledger’s last movie, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus, could become a tribute to the fallen star.

It was revealed last week that JOHNNY DEPP might step into Heath’s role to complete the remaining scenes in director TERRY GILLIAM’s fantasy flick.

But now three other megastars – JAKE GYLLENHAAL, SEAN PENN and CHRISTIAN BALE,  are willing to re-arrange their schedules to film a scene each to help finish the movie.

Johnny, Jake, Sean and Christian were all friends of Heath’s and would love to be involved.

An insider on the film said: “Heath’s character falls into a magic mirror four times during the film. It allows Terry to change the actor easily if he wants to.

The director and other big wigs on the film are still mulling over the idea, but it’s likely to go ahead in what would be intended as a tribute to Ledger.

One of the main sticking points is whether the rest of the cast can continue, thats how upset Ledger’s co-stars LILY COLE and CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER are.

“The rest of the film crew are also deeply upset. Heath was such a lovely guy.

“Everyone is finding it difficult to continue with the project.”

It’s hardly the circumstances you would want to land success – but Terry Gilliam is guaranteed a smash hit with the all-star line-up on his hands now.
