Three big Hollywood names to replace Ledger

Heath Ledger's role in the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,which is unfinished, might be completed by Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

A spokeswoman for Law said the actor is in talks to appear along with Farrell and Depp as the lead character Tony.

"Negotiations have not yet been finalised and his participation will depend on the whole thing falling into place," she said.

After Ledger's death, the production was suspended immediately. Ledger had just finished shooting a third of the movie in London and was to begin a 40-day shoot in Vancouver, Canada.

At first Gilliam was believed to have contemplated using computer-generated imagery to complete the project.

Now however, the $30 million fantasy film, thought to involve a supernatural mirror that takes people into different dimensions, will allow director Terry Gilliam to switch between actors.

It's thought that the film's director Terry Gilliam, who worked with Ledger on "The Brothers Grimm," wants to keep the footage shot of the late actor.
