The film’s fantasy premise, and some clever rewrites, let the actors play a man whose appearance changes as he travels between imaginary worlds.
- Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law gave all the income they received for this movie to Heath Ledger’s daughter Matilda so that her economic future would be secure.
