A star-studded gathering will meet in Hollywood next month to watch Heath Ledger's final film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

The three actors who stepped in to finish the movie after Ledger's death in 2008, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, Colin Farrell, are on the guest list for the screening at the Montablan Theatre on December 8.

The film's other stars, Vern Troyer, Tom Waits and Lily Cole, have also been invited.

There is also likely to be plenty of Australian A-List stars at the screening as the night is being hosted by LA-based organisation, Australians in Film, to support the 2010 Heath Ledger Scholarship.

The scholarship is designed to help a young Australian actor break into Hollywood.

The scholarship, in its second year, is supported by the Ledger family, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Baz Luhrmann, Phil Noyce, Rachel Griffiths, Gregor Jordan and Michelle Williams.

Applications for the scholarship close in a week.

The winner will receive $US10,000 cash, Qantas airfares to US, Showcast VIP Casting Packages and Quickflix Annual memberships for the 10 finalists.

Scholarship applications close November 30. Details and an online application can be found at www.australiansinfilm.org
