    Depp to replace Ledger??

    Star reportedly eyeing Gilliam's Imaginarium.
    by Stax


    January 25, 2008 - Johnny Depp is said to be a contender to replace the late Heath Ledger in Terry Gilliam's now-delayed fantasy film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, which is reportedly six weeks away from finishing principal photography.

    According to British newspaper The Sun, a studio insider claims, "There is a point in the film when Heath falls through a magic mirror. He could change into another character after that and that is where Johnny would come in."

    The source added, "It's a weird, fantasy, time-travel movie so Heath's character could easily change appearance. It would be a poignant moment. ... Johnny's not working at the moment so everyone is praying he will do it."

    Production on The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was shut down this week following Ledger's death. The film's producers invoked the "force majeure" clause, which covers work stoppages caused by extraordinary situations, such as the death of a lead actor.

    Depp is next slated to star in Public Enemies for director Michael Mann, with filming reportedly slated to begin in March.

    Ironically, Depp has worked with Gilliam before on another ill-fated movie, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. That film was scuttled in 2001 after four days of filming when one of the lead actors fell ill.

    I'll watch anything Gilliam puts out, so I want to see this (Even though I haven't liked his last few films) and I'm curious how they will handle the situation.

    they, or should I say Nolan, will replace the Joker in any way.

    Interesting to see that switch take place in the movie and as for the next Batman movie... I won't hate to see Depp in there but perhaps the joker is finished. I didn't read the graphic novels so it's beyound me of it plays out.

    I doubt very much they'll be killing The Joker off in The Dark Knight. But that doesn't mean he'll have a big part in the third one. He could be locked away in Arkaham. Maybe just have a cameo or somethin.
