Honestly, a lot can happen in the editing room-- I'm pretty confident that the movie would have exhibited a more conventional structure had Ledger not died.

I don't really believe his death had much to do with how the movie went about to be honest.
If anything The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus was the movie that has been edited extensively and had a couple of rewrites due to Ledger's death during. And kudos to Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Collin Farrel for pressing the director to make rewrites and let them help play the rest of the same role so the movie could see light. I'm not sure if it will be good or not, but it's the last movie he's in and I'll be happy to go see what his last work might have been. Also kudos to Depp, Law, and Farrel for giving their earnings from the movie to Ledger's daughter. I don't really care about celebrities and their charitable contributions, but that one, in my book, is worth accreditation.
