The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus



Heath Ledger's last film is waiting for a deal for U.S. release. The production of "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" was completely shut down after Ledger's death early last year. It was unknown if the movie would ever get finished until Jude Law, Colin Farrell, and Johnny Depp stepped in. The actors played three different parts of Ledger's role and saved the production. The movie already has a deal for Mandate International to release it in the United Kingdom sometime this summer. It is expected that the movie will get a deal with a mini-major or large indie company sometime soon in the U.S. "This movie stars Heath Ledger in his final performance -- it will get a deal and come out in the U.S.," said one indie film veteran. "But it's no accident that it's taking this long."
