Jude Law Speaks About Stepping In For Heath Ledger
With the release of ‘The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus’ just 2 days away, Jude Law sat down to talk about what it was like stepping in to help finish Heath Ledger’s last movie. “When I got the call, it was a double tug,” Law says of joining the cast of The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. “I liked Heath very much as a man and admired him as an actor. To help finish his final piece of work was a tribute I felt compelled to make.” I’m sure working on this film was a bittersweet experience for all three actors that took on the role. Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp also stepped up to the plate. For all, it seems a mixture of love and respect for both Terry Gilliam and Heath Ledger were motivation for the men to do the movie. “To help Terry finish his film was an honor paid to a man I adore,” Law says. “Though we were all there in remembrance, Heath’s heart pushed us with great lightness to the finish.” The movie, which Terry Gilliam has dedicated to Heath, opens in limited release on Christmas Day, and then January 8th it opens nationwide. Do you plan to check this one out? I wonder if Colin, Johnny & Jude will be doing much promotion for the film? Crossing my fingers! lol Photos by WENN
