BEIJING,
Feb. 18 -- Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell have signed up to save the
film their late friend Heath Ledger was making before he died.
Ledger was shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor
Parnassus in London just days before he was found dead in his New York apartment
last month.
Director Terry Gilliam was determined to salvage the
unfinished movie--and has asked Depp, Law and Farrell to pay tribute to Ledger
by taking turns to play his character in the scenes the Australian never got to
shoot, reports AintItCoolNews.com.
Toxicology results released earlier this month
revealed Ledger was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medications.
