Christopher Plummer Says Heath Ledger's Final Movie to be Saved By Some Kind of Crazy New Technology; Wants Kids Off His Lawn
Christopher Plummer, one of Heath Ledger's co-stars in the movie The Wonder Imaginarium Emporium of Doctor Parnassus Magorium, has told People that director Terry Gilliam "throwing himself into the job of trying to salvage the picture."
And he told People this totally adorably.
"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."
Christopher Plummer has since thrown himself into the job of figuring out what those mysterious letters stand for. Somebody get on that goggle dot com!
As for Heath's last days on the set, Plummer says "Heath was in very high spirits. He was just enjoying himself tremendously. It's a rather fanciful script, and he was wonderful in this role."
But he also confirms reports about Heath's health and sleep problems...

"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]."
Production of the film is currently shut down.

I am so completely baffled by Christopher Plummer's remarks. Is he pissed? Sympathetic? Sarcastic? Does he think it was on purpose? Accident?
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!

...Wants Kids Off His Lawn
snort.
well, the man is close to 80. He was a gruff older man in The Sound of Music- made before I was born after all.
