According to BBC News, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell are set to replace Heath Ledger in the unfinished film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

Production of the film, directed by Terry Gilliam, was suspended after Ledger died on January 22 of an accidental drug overdose.


A spokesperson for Jude Law has confirmed that the role of Tony will be played by three actors. It has not been explained how this will affect the script, although they will attempt to salvage as much of Ledger's contribution as possible.

Parnassus is the story of  troubadours who travel the countryside, offering people the chance to pass into alternate dimensions through a magical mirror.

The film, which Gilliam will reportedly dedicate to Ledger, is expected to be released in 2009.
