Johnny Depp Among Stars to Replace Heath Ledger in Film

Law's rep confirmed their casting to BBC News, but said she was unclear as to how the role would be reconstructed.

Production on the Terry Gilliam-directed film was suspended after Ledger died of a prescription drug overdose last month. He had been shooting the film up until his untimely death.

According to the BBC, original footage of Ledger may remain while Law, Depp and Farrell will play different incarnations of his character, Tony.
