I was just reading about the movie that Heath Ledger was supposed to be in for 2009.  The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’ filming was suspended after the accidental drug over dose of Ledger back at the end of January.

The movie has been saved by including three extremely talented actors: Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell.

Rumor has it that the original footage containing Ledger will remain, while the other three  actors will play reincarnations of Ledger’s character.

With those three taking over for Ledger I am sure the film will turn out to be something worth seeing.

A quick excerpt from the movie synopsis on imdb

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present day. It tells the story of Dr Parnassus and his extraordinary ‘Imaginarium’, a traveling show where members of the audience get an irresistible opportunity to choose between light and joy or darkness and gloom.

This video right here makes me think, “Hell yes Montel.”  He is on the Fox Morning show to talk about his new book, “” and to talk about what is currently going on.

When the Morning show hosts bring up Heath Ledger, Montel gracefully says that he would rather talk about the troops.

Montel had asked the hosts if they knew how many troops fighting in the Iraq war had died since Jan. 1, 2008.  The hosts reply with a nonchalant answer of about twenty.  Montel retorts back with twenty-eight.

Montel says that he is disgusted with the abundance of media coverage on the “Brokeback Mountain” star’s death, and the lack on the 28 troops who have died since Jan. 1, 2008.  When he expressed his opinion they cut him off and went to commercial.  Doesn’t that make them look like a network that cares?  In real sense, they look like total d-bags

Montel is now off the air after his desperate attempt to talk about a different subject on the Morning show.  Seventeen years of the Montel Williams show, with no future because he cared about the troops serving our country.
