Last Looks At Ledger
Photos of Heath Ledger in his last and unfinished onscreen appearance as Tony in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” due out in 2009, have hit the ‘net.
Ledger died Jan. 22, 2008 of an overdose of prescription medicine halfway through filming and Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law all stepped in to play different incarnations of his character.
A third of the movie was filmed in Clerkenwell in London. Ledger died three days after finishing that portion of the filming and the company was about to head to Canada to film.
The film involves a supernatural mirror that takes people into different dimensions and the fantasy device was used by director Terry Gilliam to switch actors.
As chilling as the Joker was, this should be on par in terms of weirdness, to see an actor who burned so bright do so one last time.
