I spoke to Heath Ledger after Universal’s post-Golden Globes party at the Beverly Hilton last January, and he said that the plan — his and Michelle Williams’, that is — was to take a year off (huddle-down time with the baby) and possibly move to Amsterdam. Now comes news that Ledger will replace Colin Farrell in the lead role in Todd Haynes‘ I’m Not There , a movie about Bob Dylan that’ll start filming this summer . There goes Ledger’s vacation, right? Six actors will play Dylan in the film — Ledger, Richard Gere and Christian Bale are but three of them.
