Colin Farrell On Taking Over Heath Ledger's Role

Colin Farrell in one of the men on tap to assume Heath's last role, and the Irishman says he considers it an "incredibly painful tribute." The actor says he was flattered to be asked to help complete The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus and tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, "I will be honored to be part of that. It makes me feel uncomfortable to think about it too much and to get into it really here, but it's an incredibly painful honor... and an honor I wish wasn't bestowed (on me), but an honor none-the-less. It's about getting Heath's work out there... He's too good for any of his work not to be seen, you know, and I'm really keen and looking forward to doing it and just doing the best job I can do."

Johnny Depp and Jude Law are also scheduled to finish the scenes that Heath did not film.
