The late Heath Ledger has taken a final bow at the Cannes Film Festival, starring in his final performance in “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”.The film, directed by Terry Gilliam was shown at the famous festival and was Ledger’s last unfinished role before he died from an accidental overdose.

Ledger died midway through shooting the fantasy film, leaving director Gilliam to replace the actors role. Gilliam chose three of Ledger’s friends- Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell- to take the actor’s place and finish the imaginative film.

In his final performance on screen, Ledger played Tony- a man who finds a ‘supernatural’ theatre group and discovers he has the ability to travel to fantasy worlds.

The film ended with a special dedication to Ledger: “A film from Heath Ledger and friends.”.
