Johnny Depp has been asked to replace Heath Ledger in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the latest project Heath had been working on. Director, Terry Gilliman, has hand picked Johnny himself.

 

But that doesn’t mean that Heath won’t be in the movie at all…there is a part in the movie where Heath’s character falls through a magic mirror, and that is where Johnny can appear as the changed character. More at Backseat Cuddler.

  • It sounds like a cool idea. I'm glad they got Johnny Depp. I cant wait to Batman. I've heard so many exciting comments about his version of The Joker.
