Heath Ledger’s Final Performance, In Gilliam’s ‘Imaginarium’, Screened At Cannes Film Festival
Heath Ledger’s final performance has been presented at the Cannes Film Festival.
Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” stars Ledger as a slick-tongued man who falls in with a mysterious troupe offering a portal to fantasy worlds.
Ledger died after completing the real-world portions of the film. Gilliam finished the film with Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell taking Ledger’s role in three trips to make-believe realities.
The movie closes with the dedication: “A film from Heath Ledger and friends.”
