Actor Heath Ledger was in the middle of filming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he was found dead on Jan. 22 in a New York apartment due to an accidental overdose of prescription pills. And after weeks of wondering how his latest film would be completed without its star, People magazine reports that three of Hollywood's hottest male actors will be taking over the role.
The three actors will be Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell. And in an interview with the BBC, Law's publicist said that the three actors would play Heath's role in different "zones" as the film deals with magic.
The film also stars Christopher Plummer and is scheduled to continue filming in Vancouver, Canada.
