Finally the masses of fans who’ve been awaiting Heath Ledger’s final performance can see him in action. The international trailer for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has been released. Those of us who were lucky enough to attend Comic-Con this year saw this footage a couple of weeks ago, but now everyone has an opportunity to experience it.
The film is directed by Terry Gilliam, and stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell in he role of “Tony.” After watching this video for a second time, I think it’s hilarious how the character is played by an American, Australian, a Brit and an Irishman. Oh the magic of movie making!

Looks like Ocasr-winning writer William Monaham has added a few more jewels to his crown (aka A-listers to his film). Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell have both offically signed on to join David Thewlis, Anna Friel, Ben Chaplin and Ray Winstone in Monaham’s upcoming directorial debut, London Boulevard.
The movie is based on Ken Bruen’s novel of the same name, and centers on a London criminal newly released from prison who becomes involved with a reclusive young actress. Although they haven’t announced who will be playing what, it sounds like Farrell will be the young criminal and Knightley will be the young actress, which are roles that the two actors fit into quite comfortably.

This movie seems to be completely cloaked in mystery. So here are a few stills to shed some light on it. Though we still only know the basic out line of the story, this gives us a better idea of what Director Terry Gilliam has in mind visually. This cast looks simply amazing in this theatrical/cabaret garb. Not only are we presented with four A-list actors to portray one fellow (i.e. Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law as “Tony”), but we also have some bad-ass actors in supporting roles.
For example, Tom Waits (musical genius) is the perfect man to play the devilish character of Mr. Nick. Who else can speak with a voice made of smoke? And veteran film actor Christopher Plummer as the elder Dr. Parnassus! Being that this was Heath Ledger’s last film, I’m sure tons of people will be lining up to see it; that aside, these photos have sparked an increased interest for me.
Here are some still from Terry Gilliam’s Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus:

A promotional image from The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has appeared on the website of the film’s cinematographer, Nicola Pecorini. As you may know, Parnassus was the project the late Heath Ledger was working on right before his death. With such an unfortunate circumstance the film was left incomplete, and it’s future was uncertain. In an act of Hollywood charity, fellow actors Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell decided to step into Ledger’s role of “Tony”. Thankfully, because of the film’s mystical storyline, the character can be believably portrayed by all four actors without ruining the story.
I’m not sure if the above photo is a studio released promotion or not, but it wouldn’t make sense for the cinematographer to have a fake poster on his official website. The film is scheduled for release on September 24 of this year.
