Filming Resumes On Ledger's Last Movie

Depp, Farrell, Law Stepping In Actor's Role

POSTED: 8:09 am CDT March 11, 2008

Filming has started again on the movie Heath Ledger had been making at the time of his death in January.

Variety said while Ledger had only shot some of his scenes on director Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus," they happened to be live-action and realistic scenes, so they will stay.

The trade publication said that Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law are all replacing Ledger in scenes he hadn't shot yet, where his character passes from contemporary London through a magic mirror into the imagination.

Depp, Farrell and Law will represent different aspects of the character Ledger was playing.

Ledger, 28, died Jan. 22 after he was found unresponsive by his masseuse in his Manhattan apartment.

The New York Medical Examiner's Office determined that the actor died of an accidental prescription drug overdose.

Contents Of Ledger's Will Revealed

Ledger's will doesn't include Michelle Williams or their 2-year-old daughter because it was never updated after they became part of his life.

A copy of the three-page will has been filed in court in New York City. It shows Ledger left everything he owned to his parents and three sisters.

Published reports say Ledger's father, Kim Ledger, has said the family would make sure Williams and Matilda Rose would be provided for.

Papers filed with the will list Ledger's New York City belongings, which are valued at $145,000. They include a $25,000 Toyota Prius, $20,000 in furniture and fixtures, and $100,000 in miscellaneous bank accounts.

Ledger's only debt was the February rent due on the apartment where he died.

Ledger will next appear as The Joker this summer in the "Batman Begins" sequel "The Dark Knight." He had completed filming the role before his death.
