Depp, Law, and Farrell step in for Ledger in Gilliam film

Maybe Terry Gilliam doesn't have the worst luck in the world after all. The famously starcrossed director was in a bind after the untimely death of Heath Ledger last month, as the actor was starring in his new fantasy film The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus. Ledger's death threatened to kill the film, but it appears Gilliam's project is very much back on track after Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell agreed to play Ledger's character. In the film Ledger's character is transported into three seperate dimensions, which will be embodied by each leading man. The film is set for a 2009 release.
