Heath Ledger's Dr. Parnassus Production Halted By Jack, (DT) January 24, 2008 10:54 AM PT |
 Adding to the growing list of Heath Ledger related tragedies, US Weekly has reported that crew members on the Vancouver set of Terry Gilliam's fantasy adventure movie, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, have been sent home. The future of the film for obvious reasons, uncertain at best. Ledger was on a break from filming when he died Tuesday. Shooting for the film co-starring Christopher Plummer and Tom Waits, had begun in London last December. He was last photographed on set Jan. 19. A source said: "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."Not only was I looking forward to seeing Parnassus, I feel for Terry Gilliam and his most unfortunate luck in his recent film endeavors. |
