As Terry Gilliam’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus nears its U.S. release–it will open in New York and Los Angeles on Christmas Day, with a wider release promised in January–Johnny Depp reflected about the passing of Heath Ledger and his own involvement with the project. He told Moviefone: “Though the circumstances of my involvement are extremely heartrending and unbelievably sad, I feel privileged to have been asked aboard to stand in on behalf of dear Heath . . . . He was the only player out there breathing heavy down the back of every established actor’s neck with a thundering and ungovernable talent that came up on you quick, hissing rather mischievously with that cheeky grin, ‘Hey . . . get on out of my way boys, I’m coming through!’ And does he ever!”
