LEDGER'S LAST FILM MAY NOT GET U.S. RELEASE!

Entertainment Weekly recently reported that Heath Ledger's final film may not be in the US
Ledger was in the middle of shooting The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus, a film directed by Terry Gilliam, when he died of an accidental drug overdose last January.

When it looked like the film, would never reach completion Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell filled in to finish edger’s role. They each play different versions of Ledger's character Tony.

Gilliam was able to secure distribution in the UK through Lionsgate. Unfortunately executives in the US are reluctant to commit to the film.

"The script isn't a slam dunk," said one Hollywood executive. "Having Heath in it is appealing. But I'm waiting to see the movie."
Gilliam has refused screen the film to anyone in advance until he has assembled the final cut.

Director Gilliam said about the film not being sought after in the US markets, "I think people are going to be astonished when they see the film, and there will be a rush to want it. So I'm happy to wait. Nobody came forward at the right time, and now it's going to cost them."

I for one hope that it does get released in the US.

Here are some pictures that have been recently released.
