Heath Ledger's final film has begun shooting again in Vancouver, and filmmakers insist that Ledger's performance will be saved.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the producers of Terry Gilliam's "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" also confirmed rumors that Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law will help finish the film, which shut down after Ledger's death.

"Since the format of the story allows for the preservation of his entire performance, at no point will Heath's work be modified or altered through the use of digital technology," the producers said in a statement.

"Each of the parts played by Johnny, Colin and Jude is representative of the many aspects of the character that Heath was playing."

 

"I am grateful to Johnny, Colin and Jude for coming on board and to everyone else who has made it possible for us to finish the film," Gilliam said.

"I am delighted that Heath's brilliant performance can be shared with the world. We are looking forward to finishing the movie and, through the film, with a modicum of humility, being able to touch people's hearts and souls as Heath was able to do."
