Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger’s last film is in the lines. The Oscar mania is still very much fresh in the minds of all. Heath’s family is yet to come out of the initial shock and sheer happiness for Heath’s outstanding achievement. And here comes the news that Heath’s  sister, Kate Ledger told reporters that her family is very much in the loop on his final movie.

Kate was holding the Oscar backstage and soon after the reported issue occurred.

“We’ve seen a little bit of the footage,” she said of Terry Gilliam’s “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,” Heath Ledger’s last film. “I think it’s going to be amazing.”
Heath’s posthumous Award was collected by his family. Parnassus deals with a story surrounding a traveling magician who gives customers more than they bargained for. The film is a joint production of financial entity Grosvenor Park and sales mogul Samuel Hadida of Davis Films.

Only time would say when the viewers and audiences get to see the first cut of the film. Heath is riding high on his stupendous acting glories in ‘Dark Knight’ even after he has left us. It has been alleged that Ledger died when the film (under Gilliam’s funhouse imagination) was in the middle of production. The project was in the midst of rumours of being thrown apart when talks were on with Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp who stepped in to save the project from being shelved. All the A-line actors will play different parts of Ledger’s role. However there have been other complications like the sales and marketing issues. The film is lined at a $20 million budget.

The film is yet to come out with a US deal. The reason being dissent among producers. An indie film veteran explained : “This movie stars Heath Ledger in his final performance — it will get a deal and come out in the U.S., But it’s no accident that it’s taking this long.”
