Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law Donate Movie Fee to Heath Ledger's Daughter

Hollywood heroes Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law have reportedly donated their earnings from new movie The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus to Heath Ledger's daughter Matilda.
The stars -- who replaced Ledger following his untimely death in January -- wanted to give their money to the late actor's two-year-old daughter with actress Michelle Williams to ensure she has a secure future.
The film's director, Terry Gilliam, said, "The three actors were totally heroic coming in. This doesn't happen very often - where there's a tragedy like this, and very famous, very successful actors suddenly say, 'OK, we'll do whatever it takes to help.'
"They came, they did the work, they allowed the movie to be finished, they didn't take money - the money goes to Heath's daughter. That's extraordinary!
"I am so glad these guys are so humble. That's why they make a great addition to the film. It will be bittersweet seeing this movie knowing he was filming it only days before he died. This picture still hurts to see because as we all know he did die a couple of days after this picture was taken. My thoughts will always be with Heath."
Depp, Farrell and Law all play Heath's character Tony as he is transported into three separate dimensions, which he accesses via a paranormal mirror belonging to a traveling theater troupe.
Heath, 28, died from an accidental prescription drugs overdose on January 22.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is due for release in 2009.
