Heath Ledger, having passed away unexpectedly earlier this year, will likely be best remembered for his role in the Batman film, "The Dark Knight". But there was another film he was working on, that didn't get finished up before his passing - "The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus." Three actors - Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrel - were hired to take over Ledger's role in the film. The film is set in a carnival, and each of the actors will play different versions of Heath's character as he is transported through other dimensions.

Heath Ledger's will left all of his personal fortune to his father. It couldn't have been intentional as it was made out before his daughter with Michelle Williams, Matilda, was born. While Heath's father, Kim Ledger, has said that "Matilda will be provided for", there has been concerns due to the fact that Kim had been accused of squandering money from his late father's estate in the past.

Matilda's mother, Michelle Williams, is a Hollywood actress herself, so it's not likely that Matilda will ever have to live without life's luxuries. Nevertheless, the three actors who took over Ledger's role wanted to make sure that Matilda was set for life. So together they decided to film their roles in the movie, and then declined to take their pay, instead giving it to Heath's 3-year-old daughter.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus is due out in 2009. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/
