How to overcome Heath Ledger's death



Gilliam and Ledger hit it off on `` The Brothers Grimm '' (2005) and have since developed a friendship based on mutual trust. Therefore, Ledger's death weighed on Gilliam as a heart-wrenching shock.


However, a few days later, when she was still feeling sad, she had a phone conversation with her close friend Johnny Depp, which changed her fate forever. Depp offered to help if there was anything he could do, and his words brought a ray of hope into Gilliam's dark and depressed heart for the first time.

Gilliam got up from his stagger and began a trial-and-error process, examining the already filmed footage and the script, trying to figure out what kind of idea could make up for this huge loss and complete Ledger's final work. And as usual, the adrenaline that began to rush through his body activated Gilliam's brain, leading him to come up with an extremely bold idea.


Here is the flow of thought. In the story, the character ``Tony'' played by Heath Ledger steps into the mirror world three times. However, the only real scenes that have been filmed so far are those that take place in London. I haven't shot any scenes in the mirror yet. So what if from now on, every time Tony looks into the mirror, Ledger's face changes to look like a different person?
