Production on the film was put on hold after the 28-year-old died from an accidental drug overdose in January. He was found dead in his New York apartment.

Ledger had completed filming for the Terry Gilliam-directed movie in London just before his death.

At the time, the film's makers described Ledger as "a great actor, a great friend and a great spirit" and said director Gilliam and his producers would be "assessing how best to proceed".
