Tragedy compounded by tragedy, Twitch is reporting that Terry Gilliam’s current film, “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus” has been shut down in the wake of Heath Ledger’s death …

The production had reportedly just wrapped U.K. shooting and was planning a move to Vancouver for FX work. The entire crew there has been told to stand down with no further information as to when or if things will start up again. I was frankly expecting this, after being stunned by the news about Ledger yesterday. I just finally got around to seeing “Tideland” this past weekend, and was blown away by it so I’m justifiably saddened by both these bits of news.
