Predictably, in the wake of Heath Ledger’s tragic passing, production on Terry Gilliam’s THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSUS has halted. Apparently a source told US Weekly the following:
“I just got the call [Tuesday] saying everyone was being let go… We were supposed to start this weekend, but obviously they fired everyone today… They don’t know yet what they are doing with the footage that was already shot… Right now, everyone is in complete shock and can’t even speak.”
It’s unfortunate, given that Gilliam seems to have some pretty shitty luck in getting films off the ground, and in that the film both sounded and looked like it was gonna be cool. Still though, this is nothing more than liner notes for me at the moment, since I’m still trying to get over Ledger’s death.
