The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

This was to be Heath Ledger's next film. After reading this article in this morning's Bee ( retyped it as I couldn't find a link), I KNOW I'm going to see this film multiple times.

Looking out for Ledger's Kid

Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell have made sure that the late Heath Ledger's daughter, Matilda, has financial security.

The trio stepped in to complete Ledger's last film, "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus," by playing different iternations of Ledger's character. They also donated their paychecks to Matilda, say London tab the Sun and USAToday.com.

Ledger's friends were concerned because the Aussie left an old will that didn't include the girl.

From Wikipedia

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is an upcoming fantasy-adventure mystery film directed by Terry Gilliam and written by Gilliam and Charles McKeown. In the film, the leader of a traveling theater troupe, through a deal with the Devil, takes audience members through a magical mirror to explore their imaginations. Christopher Plummer, Tom Waits and Heath Ledger star in the film, though the death of Ledger midway through filming caused production to be temporarily suspended. Ledger's role was recast with Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portraying physically changed transformations of Ledger's character as he travels through dimensions. The projected release date for this film is 2009.

I'm a Gilliam nerd, so I was already planning on seeing this one. Classy move by the boys, though.
