So today I was watching E! and they always have the scrolling news at the bottom. And it made me see that there are still extraordinary people in this world. Johnny Depp, Collin Farrell, and Jude Law took the place of Ledger in the film and they are donating all of their money they make from the film to Heath's daughter Matilda.

Quote
Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell have donated their fee for completing Heath Ledger's final film role to the late star's daughter.

The acting trio agreed to play versions of Ledger's character Tony in The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus following his death in January.

And they decided to donate their fees to two-year-old Matilda - Ledger's daughter with actress Michelle Williams - because the star left an old will which did not include the little girl.

Director Terry Gilliam has praised the actors for their generosity, saying: "They didn't take money - it goes to Heath's daughter.

"That's extraordinary! And wonderful... and when you're part of that, you think, 'Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.' And we've got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help."

IMDB

I personally can not wait for this film. I think it shall be extraordinary.
Here is the plot:
"The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary 'Imaginarium', a travelling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom. Blessed with the extraordinary gift of guiding the imaginations of others, Dr Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. Long ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr Nick, in which he won immortality. Many centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his first-born reached its 16th birthday he or she would become the property of Mr Nick. Valentina is now rapidly approaching this 'coming of age' milestone and Dr Parnassus is desperate to protect her from her impending fate. Mr Nick arrives to collect but, always keen to make a bet, renegotiates the wager. Now the winner of Valentina will be determined by whoever seduces the first five souls. Enlisting a series of wild, comical and compelling characters in his journey, Dr Parnassus promises his daughter's hand in marriage to the man that helps him win. In this captivating, explosive and wonderfully imaginative race against time, Dr Parnassus must fight to save his daughter in a never-ending landscape of surreal obstacles - and undo the mistakes of his past once and for all..."

I can't wait to see this. Knowing Heath's talent I doubt Collin or Jude could match him even though they are all essentially the same person.

The film looks like it will be good - its abit unusual that Lily Cole is in it. She had a small role in St Trinians but hopefully she is a good actress in this.

Im glad that the new actors have donated the money to Heath's daughter.
