Heath Ledger’s Movie Will Be Salvaged
“Terry’s throwing himself into the job of trying to salvage the picture,” veteran actor Christopher Plummer told PEOPLE over the weekend.
Despite earlier reports that the director might shelve the $30 million production, Gilliam, whom Plummer describes as “terribly saddened” by Ledger’s death is “trying to work out at this moment how to continue on. Fortunately, because the film deals with magic, there is a way, perhaps, of turning Heath into other people and then, using stills and I think they call it CGI…
“Terry was a very good friend [of Heath's],” adds Plummer. “He very wants to go on with the movie, and I can very much understand why. Because he wants to dedicate it to Heath, of course.”
I hope that they can figure out a way to include Heath’s role throughout the movie. This looks like a really good one…that nobody wants to miss.
Christopher Plummer also added a few words about the working conditions on the set:
Confirming earlier reports that Ledger hadnt been feeling well on set, Plummer says, “we all caught colds because we were shooting outside on horrible, damp nights. But Heath’s went on and I don’t think he dealt with it immediately with the antibiotics.…I think what he did have was the walking pneumonia.”
On top of that, “He was saying all the time, ‘dammit, I can’t sleep’…and he was taking all these pills [to help him].”
As well as the damp cold and lack of sleep, Plummer describes the shoot as rigorous. “We had to shoot every second we were out there…there was hardly any time to go into the tent or the car to keep warm. We just kept shooting…boom, boom, boom…there was no pause. It was very, very hard work.”
