Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp, from left above, will replace Heath Ledger, above right, in the film he was starring in when he died last month, Ainât It Cool News reported. The future of the $30 million film, âThe Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,â a morality tale directed by Terry Gilliam, was thrown in doubt halfway through shooting when Mr. Ledger died of an accidental drug overdose.

These will now be inhabited, instead, by Mr. Depp, Mr. Law and Mr. Farrell.
