Doctor Parnassus Lives
Quick Stop was contacted by a source within the production of Terry Gilliam’s upcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and they wanted to clarify the status of the film. It seems that Parnassus has been recently removed from Heath Ledger’s IMDB listing and Ledger has also been removed from the listing of Parnassus‘ cast. Also, the IMDB listing for Parnassus now shows the status of the film as being shut down.
The source within the production wanted to make certain the word gets out that the production is not in fact shut down but is moving forward and will feature Heath Ledger in his last role. This decision to keep Heath’s performance and rework the film to accommodate it was made out of respect for that performance and in memory of Heath. This despite somewhat shady efforts by certain parties, the source tells us, to paint The Dark Knight as Heath’s final role.
The Parnassus cast and crew, we are told, apart from a statement about the status of the production shortly after Heath’s passing, have been quiet about the matter out of respect for Heath and his family. Further casting announcements will be made in the near future. The official site for the film, doctorparnassus.com, will be launching later today (February 5th), and readers are urged to watch the site for future developments.

thanks for that Bruce.
Frankly, I'm a bit relieved that The Dark Knight won't be Heath's final part.
