Resurrecting the Movies thread...

So last night I saw a really good film on Logo, from 2004, called Outing Riley.
I would recomend it.

The idea is to change the actor once he goes through the magic mirror so they'll be able to keep many of the already filmed scenes with Heath.
I think that's good news if it's true. My source is not exactly official, it's a poster on IMDb who knows a Vancouver costume designer, Jane Still, who is friends with Monique Prud'homme, the film's costume designer... It certainly sounds plausible though, considering how fantastical the film sounds and all the love and respect that both Heath and Gilliam have from other actors.
It would be nice to have another Heath moment to look forward to.

The news reports on this seem to be going back and forth on this. The Australian press says Johnny Depp is in and the movie is going ahead, while UK sources say it is stopped, no mention of Depp.
I actually think it would be terrific if Johnny could do it. I heard the same explanation about the mirror, oilgun, so I think it could be feasible. They finished all the on location and outdoor scenes in London. They were scheduled to go to Vancouver to work on a sound stage, do "blue screen" filming, and special effects. Two months of filming were left in the schedule.
I agree, it would be nice to have another Heath moment to look forward to and not have his last movie be as the Joker.

I was just thinking that. Having his last movie be as the Joker will definitely be a mixed blessing at best. Nice to see Heath one more time and to hear yet another outpouring of what I'm sure will be respect and admiration. But sad, especially given all we've heard about how playing the Joker stressed him out so much it might have contributed to his need for sleeping pills.

I agree...

It would be nice for the film to be completed... if it's not, there certainly will be all sorts of hoopla about getting a hold of the filmed scenes, etc.
I read one report, and only one report, that said Heath had an argument with some folks related to the film... anyone else see that substantiated anywhere? (Sorry if I should move the question to a different thread.)
